A drawing of a graph is min-$k$-planar if, for every crossing in the drawing, at least one of the two crossing edges involves at most $k$ crossings. This notion of min-$k$-planarity was introduced by Binucci, B\"{u}ngener, Di Battista, Didimo, Dujmovi\'c, Hong, Kaufmann, Liotta, Morin, and Tappini [GD 2023; JGAA, 2024] as a generalization of $k$-planarity.
