We consider the minimum feedback vertex set problem for some bipartite graphs and degree-constrained graphs. We show that the problem is linear time solvable for bipartite permutation graphs and NP-hard for grid intersection graphs. We also show that the problem is solvable in O(n2 log6 n) time for n-vertex graphs with maximum degree at most three. key words: 3-regular graph, bipartite permutat...

We study bipartite geometric intersection graphs from the perspective of order dimension. We show that partial orders of height two whose comparability graph is a grid intersection graph have order dimension at most four. Starting from this observation we look at various classes of graphs between grid intersection graph and bipartite permutations graphs and the containment relation on these cla...

In this article we consider the intersection graph G(R) of nontrivial proper ideals of a finite commutative principal ideal ring R with unity 1. Two distinct ideals are adjacent if they have non-trivial intersection. We characterize when the intersection graph is complete, bipartite, planar, Eulerian or Hamiltonian. We also find a formula to calculate the number of ideals in each ring and the d...

We show that the class of unit grid intersection graphs properly includes both of the classes of interval bigraphs and of P6-free chordal bipartite graphs. We also demonstrate that the classes of unit grid intersection graphs and of chordal bipartite graphs are incomparable. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Bipartite graphs and permutation graphs are two well known subfamilies of the perfect graphs. Neither of these families is contained in the other, and their intersection is nonempty. This paper shows that graphs which are both bipartite and permutation graphs have good algorithmic properties. These graphs can be recognized in linear time, and several problems which are NP-complete or of unknown...

We introduce a concept of intersection dimension of a graph with respect to a graph class. This generalizes Ferrers dimension, boxicity, and poset dimension, and leads to interesting new problems. We focus in particular on bipartite graph classes defined as intersection graphs of two kinds of geometric objects. We relate well-known graph classes such as interval bigraphs, two-directional orthog...

The Zarankiewicz number z(b; s) is the maximum size of a subgraph of Kb,b which does not contain Ks,s as a subgraph. The two-color bipartite Ramsey number b(s, t) is the smallest integer b such that any coloring of the edges of Kb,b with two colors contains a Ks,s in the rst color or a Kt,t in the second color.In this work, we design and exploit a computational method for bounding and computing...

It is known that bipartite distance-regular graphs with diameter D > 3, valency k > 3, intersection number c2 > 2 and eigenvalues k = θ0 > θ1 > · · · > θD satisfy θ1 6 k− 2 and thus θD−1 > 2− k. In this paper we classify non-complete distanceregular graphs with valency k > 2, intersection number c2 > 2 and an eigenvalue θ satisfying −k < θ 6 2 − k. Moreover, we give a lower bound for valency k ...

We prove Ramsey-type results for intersection graphs of geometric objects the plane. In particular, we prove the following bounds, all of which are tight apart from the constant c. There is a constant c > 0 such that for every family F of n ≥ 2 convex sets in the plane, the intersection graph of F or its complement contains a balanced complete bipartite graph of size at least cn. There is a con...
