Clique coloring B1-EPG graphs

چکیده
We consider the problem of clique coloring, that is, coloring the vertices of a given graph such that no (maximal) clique of size at least two is monocolored. It is known that interval graphs are 2-clique colorable. In this paper we prove that B1-EPG graphs (edge intersection graphs of paths on a grid, where each path has at most one bend) are 4-clique colorable. Moreover, given a B1-EPG representation of a graph, we provide a linear time algorithm that constructs a 4-clique coloring of it.

Computing Maximum Cliques in B_2 -EPG Graphs
EPG graphs, introduced by Golumbic et al. in 2009, are edge-intersection graphs of paths on an orthogonal grid. The class Bk-EPG is the subclass of EPG graphs where the path on the grid associated to each vertex has at most k bends. Epstein et al. showed in 2013 that computing a maximum clique in B1-EPG graphs is polynomial. As remarked in [Heldt et al., 2014], when the number of bends is at le...
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 کاملOn Independent Set on B1-EPG Graphs
In this paper we consider the Maximum Independent Set problem (MIS) on B1-EPG graphs. EPG (for Edge intersection graphs of Paths on a Grid) was introduced in [9] as the class of graphs whose vertices can be represented as simple paths on a rectangular grid so that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding paths share at least one edge of the underlying grid. The restricted clas...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Independence and Domination on B1-VPG and B1-EPG Graphs
A graph G is called Bk-VPG (resp., Bk-EPG), for some constant k ≥ 0, if it has a string representation on a grid such that each vertex is an orthogonal path with at most k bends and two vertices are adjacent in G if and only if the corresponding strings intersect (resp., the corresponding strings share at least one grid edge). If two adjacent strings of a Bk-VPG graph intersect exactly once, th...
متن کاملClique-coloring of Ks3, 3-minor free graphs
A clique-coloring of a given graph G is a coloring of the vertices of G such that no maximal clique of size at least two is monocolored. The clique-chromatic number of G is the least number of colors for which G admits a clique-coloring. It has been proved that every planar graph is 3-clique colorable and every claw-free planar graph, different from an odd cycle, is 2-clique colorable. In this ...
