Isomorphism of graph classes related to the circular-ones property

We give a linear-time algorithm that checks for isomorphism between two 0-1 matrices that obey the circular-ones property. This algorithm leads to linear-time isomorphism algorithms for related graph classes, including Helly circular-arc graphs, \Gamma-circular-arc graphs, proper circular-arc graphs and convex-round graphs.Comment: 25 pages, 9 figure

Balancedness of subclasses of circular-arc graphs

A graph is balanced if its clique-vertex incidence matrix contains no square submatrix of odd order with exactly two ones per row and per column. There is a characterization of balanced graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs, but no characterization by mininal forbidden induced subgraphs is known, not even for the case of circular-arc graphs. A circular-arc graph is the intersection graph of a family of arcs on a circle. In this work, we characterize when a given graph G is balanced in terms of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs, by restricting the analysis to the case where G belongs to certain classes of circular-arc graphs, including Helly circular-arc graphs, claw-free circular-arc graphs, and gem-free circular-arc graphs. In the case of gem-free circular-arc graphs, analogous characterizations are derived for two superclasses of balanced graphs: clique-perfect graphs and coordinated graphs.Fil: Bonomo, Flavia.

On some subclasses of circular-arc catch digraphs

Catch digraphs was introduced by Hiroshi Maehera in 1984 as an analog of intersection graphs where a family of pointed sets represents a digraph. After that Prisner continued his research particularly on interval catch digraphs by characterizing them diasteroidal triple free. It has numerous applications in the field of real world problems like network technology and telecommunication operations. In this article we introduce a new class of catch digraphs, namely circular-arc catch digraphs. The definition is same as interval catch digraph, only the intervals are replaced by circular-arcs here. We present the characterization of proper circular-arc catch digraphs, which is a natural subclass of circular-arc catch digraphs where no circular-arc is contained in other properly. We do the characterization by introducing a concept monotone circular ordering for the vertices of the augmented adjacency matrices of it. Next we find that underlying graph of a proper oriented circular-arc catch digraph is a proper circular-arc graph. Also we characterize proper oriented circular-arc catch digraphs by defining a certain kind of circular vertex ordering of its vertices. Another interesting result is to characterize oriented circular-arc catch digraphs which are tournaments in terms of forbidden subdigraphs. Further we study some properties of an oriented circular-arc catch digraph. In conclusion we discuss the relations between these subclasses of circular-arc catch digraphs

Deciding Circular-Arc Graph Isomorphism in Parameterized Logspace

We compute a canonical circular-arc representation for a given circular-arc (CA) graph which implies solving the isomorphism and recognition problem for this class. To accomplish this we split the class of CA graphs into uniform and non-uniform ones and employ a generalized version of the argument given by K\"obler et al (2013) that has been used to show that the subclass of Helly CA graphs can be canonized in logspace. For uniform CA graphs our approach works in logspace and in addition to that Helly CA graphs are a strict subset of uniform CA graphs. Thus our result is a generalization of the canonization result for Helly CA graphs. In the non-uniform case a specific set of ambiguous vertices arises. By choosing the parameter to be the cardinality of this set the obstacle can be solved by brute force. This leads to an O(k + log n) space algorithm to compute a canonical representation for non-uniform and therefore all CA graphs.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figure

Fully dynamic recognition of proper circular-arc graphs

We present a fully dynamic algorithm for the recognition of proper circular-arc (PCA) graphs. The allowed operations on the graph involve the insertion and removal of vertices (together with its incident edges) or edges. Edge operations cost O(log n) time, where n is the number of vertices of the graph, while vertex operations cost O(log n + d) time, where d is the degree of the modified vertex. We also show incremental and decremental algorithms that work in O(1) time per inserted or removed edge. As part of our algorithm, fully dynamic connectivity and co-connectivity algorithms that work in O(log n) time per operation are obtained. Also, an O(\Delta) time algorithm for determining if a PCA representation corresponds to a co-bipartite graph is provided, where \Delta\ is the maximum among the degrees of the vertices. When the graph is co-bipartite, a co-bipartition of each of its co-components is obtained within the same amount of time.Comment: 60 pages, 15 figure
