  3. Hyperbolic tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_tree

    Drawing the tree as a node-link diagram thus requires exponential amounts of space to be displayed. One approach is to use a hyperbolic tree, first introduced by Lamping et al. [1] Hyperbolic trees employ hyperbolic space, which intrinsically has "more room" than Euclidean space. For instance, linearly increasing the radius of a circle in ...
