Recognizing Some Subclasses of Vertex Intersection Graphs of 0-Bend Paths in a Grid
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate graphs that can be represented as vertex intersections of horizontal and vertical paths in a grid, known as B0-VPG graphs. Recognizing these graphs is an NP-hard problem. In light of this, we focus on their subclasses. In the paper, we describe polynomial time algorithms for recognizing chordal B0-VPG graphs, and for recognizing B0-VPG graphs that have a representation on a grid with 2 rows.

Edge-intersection graphs of grid paths: the bend-number
We investigate edge-intersection graphs of paths in the plane grid regarding a parameter called the bend-number. The bend-number is related to the interval-number and the track-number of a graph. We provide new upper and lower bounds of the bend-number of any given simple graph in terms of the coloring number, edge clique covers and the maximum degree. We show that the bend-number of an outerpl...
متن کاملEdge-Intersection Graphs of k-Bend Paths in Grids
Edge-intersection graphs of paths in grids are graphs that can be represented with vertices as paths in grids and edges between the vertices of the graph exist whenever two grid paths share a grid edge. This type of graphs is motivated by applications in conflict resolution of paths in grid networks. In this paper, we continue the study of edge-intersection graphs of paths in a grid, which was ...
متن کاملEdge Intersection Graphs of L-Shaped Paths in Grids
In this paper we continue the study of the edge intersection graphs of single bend paths on a rectangular grid (i.e., the edge intersection graphs where each vertex is represented by one of the following shapes: x, p, y, q). These graphs, called B1-EPG graphs, were first introduced by Golumbic et al (2009) [5]. We consider the natural subclasses of B1-EPG formed by the subsets of the four singl...
متن کاملEdge intersection graphs of single bend paths on a grid
We combine the known notion of the edge intersection graphs of paths in a tree with a VLSI grid layout model to introduce the edge intersection graphs of paths on a grid. Let P be a collection of nontrivial simple paths on a grid G. We define the edge intersection graph EPG(P) of P to have vertices which correspond to the members of P, such that two vertices are adjacent in EPG(P) if the corres...
متن کاملString graphs of k-bend paths on a grid
We investigate the class of vertex intersection graphs of paths on a grid, and specifically consider the subclasses that are obtained when each path in the representation has at most k bends (turns). We call such a subclass the Bk-VPG graphs, k ≥ 0. If the number k of bends is not restricted, then the VPG graphs are shown to be equivalent to the well-known class of string graphs, namely, the in...
