Abstract
A rigid interval graph is an interval graph which has only one clique tree. In 2009, Panda and Das show that all connected unit interval graphs are rigid interval graphs. Generalizing the two classic graph search algorithms, Lexicographic Breadth-First Search (LBFS) and Maximum Cardinality Search (MCS), Corneil and Krueger propose in 2008 the so-called Maximal Neighborhood Search (MNS) and show that one sweep of MNS is enough to recognize chordal graphs. We develop the MNS properties of rigid interval graphs and characterize this graph class in several dierent ways. This allows us obtain several linear time multi-sweep MNS algorithms for recognizing rigid interval graphs and unit interval graphs, generalizing a corresponding 3-sweep LBFS algorithm for unit interval graph recognition designed by Corneil in 2004. For unit interval graphs, we even present a new linear time 2-sweep MNS certifying recognition algorithm.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications (JGAA) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal devoted to the publication of high-quality research papers on the analysis, design, implementation, and applications of graph algorithms. JGAA is supported by distinguished advisory and editorial boards, has high scientific standards and is distributed in electronic form. JGAA is a gold open access journal that charges no author fees. Topics of interest for JGAA include but are not limited to: Design and analysis of graph algorithms: exact and approximation graph algorithms; centralized and distributed graph algorithms; static and dynamic graph algorithms; internal- and external-memory graph algorithms; sequential and parallel graph algorithms; deterministic and randomized graph algorithms. Experiences with graph and network algorithms: animations; experimentations; implementations. Applications of graph and network algorithms: biomedical informatics; computational biology; computational geometry; computer graphics; computer-aided design; computer and interconnection networks; constraint systems; databases; economic networks; graph drawing; graph embedding and layout; knowledge representation; multimedia; social networks; software engineering; telecommunication networks; user interfaces and visualization; VLSI circuits.
