The separation dimension of a graph $G$ is the smallest natural number $k$ for which the vertices of $G$ can be embedded in $mathbb{R}^k$ such that any pair of disjoint edges in $G$ can be separated by a hyperplane normal to one of the axes. Equivalently, it is the smallest possible cardinality of a family $mathcal{F}$ of total orders of the vertices of $G$ such that for any two disjoint edges of $G$, there exists at least one total order in $mathcal{F}$ in which all the vertices in one edge precede those in the other. In general, the maximum separation dimension of a graph on $n$ vertices is $Theta(log n)$. In this article, we focus on bounded degree graphs and show that the separation dimension of a graph with maximum degree $d$ is at most $2^{9{log^{star}}!d} d$. We also demonstrate that the above bound is nearly tight by showing that, for every $d$, almost all $d$-regular graphs have separation dimension at least $ceil{d/2}$.
