D. Eppstein, Z. Galil, G.F. Italiano, and T. Spencer.
25th ACM Symp. Theory of Computing, San Diego, 1993, pp. 208–217, doi:10.1145/167088.167159.

Replaces portions of a hierarchical separator decomposition with smaller certificates to achieve fast update times for various dynamic planar graph problems. Applications include finding the k best spanning trees of a planar graph.
