Drawing a graph in a way that minimizes the number of edge-crossings is a well-studied problem. Recently there has been work characterizing both the minimum and maximum number of edge-crossings possible in various graph classes, assuming rectilinear (straight-line) edges. In this paper, we investigate the algorithmic problem of maximizing the number of edge-crossings over all rectilinear drawings a graph. We show that this problem is NP-hard and lies in (exists mathbb {R}). We give a nontrivial derandomization of the natural randomized 1/3-approximation algorithm, which generalizes to a weighted setting as well as to an ordering constraint satisfaction problem. We evaluate these algorithms and other heuristics in simulation.
