Equivalence of the filament and overlap graphs of subtrees of limited trees
The overlap graphs of subtrees of a tree are equivalent to subtree filament
graphs, the overlap graphs of subtrees of a star are cocomparability graphs,
and the overlap graphs of subtrees of a caterpillar are interval filament
graphs. In this paper, we show the equivalence of many more classes of subtree
overlap and subtree filament graphs, and equate them to classes of complements
of cochordal-mixed graphs. Our results generalize the previously known results
mentioned above
Recognising the overlap graphs of subtrees of restricted trees is hard
The overlap graphs of subtrees in a tree (SOGs) generalise many other graphs classes with set representation characterisations. The complexity of recognising SOGs is open. The complexities of recognising many subclasses of SOGs are known. Weconsider several subclasses of SOGs by restricting the underlying tree. For a fixed integer , we consider:\begin{my_itemize} \item The overlap graphs of subtrees in a tree where that tree has leaves
\item The overlap graphs of subtrees in trees that can be derived from a given input tree by subdivision and have at least 3 leaves \item The overlap and intersection graphs of paths in a tree where that tree has maximum degree \end{my_itemize}
We show that the recognition problems of these classes are NP-complete. For all other parameters we get circle graphs, well known to be polynomially recognizable

Automorphism Groups of Geometrically Represented Graphs
We describe a technique to determine the automorphism group of a
geometrically represented graph, by understanding the structure of the induced
action on all geometric representations. Using this, we characterize
automorphism groups of interval, permutation and circle graphs. We combine
techniques from group theory (products, homomorphisms, actions) with data
structures from computer science (PQ-trees, split trees, modular trees) that
encode all geometric representations.
We prove that interval graphs have the same automorphism groups as trees, and
for a given interval graph, we construct a tree with the same automorphism
group which answers a question of Hanlon [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc 272(2), 1982].
For permutation and circle graphs, we give an inductive characterization by
semidirect and wreath products. We also prove that every abstract group can be
realized by the automorphism group of a comparability graph/poset of the
dimension at most four
A fast approximate skeleton with guarantees for any cloud of points in a Euclidean space
The tree reconstruction problem is to find an embedded straight-line tree that approximates a given cloud of unorganized points in up to a certain error. A practical solution to this problem will accelerate a discovery of new colloidal products with desired physical properties such as viscosity. We define the Approximate Skeleton of any finite point cloud in a Euclidean space with theoretical guarantees. The Approximate Skeleton ASk always belongs to a given offset of , i.e. the maximum distance from to ASk can be a given maximum error. The number of vertices in the Approximate Skeleton is close to the minimum number in an optimal tree by factor 2. The new Approximate Skeleton of any unorganized point cloud is computed in a near linear time in the number of points in . Finally, the Approximate Skeleton outperforms past skeletonization algorithms on the size and accuracy of reconstruction for a large dataset of real micelles and random clouds
Automorphism Groups of Geometrically Represented Graphs
Interval graphs are intersection graphs of closed intervals and circle graphs are intersection graphs of chords of a circle. We study automorphism groups of these graphs. We show that interval graphs have the same automorphism groups as trees, and circle graphs have the same
as pseudoforests, which are graphs with at most one cycle in every connected component.
Our technique determines automorphism groups for classes with a
strong structure of all geometric representations, and it can be applied to other graph classes. Our results imply polynomial-time algorithms for computing automorphism groups in term of group products
