Semiorders are special interval orders which allow a representation with intervals of same length. Using integer endpoints we present here such a representation with minimal interval length. The algorithm obtained is hnear in time and space. In addition, we give a characterization of the subclass of semiorders representable by intervals of length k by a set of Ck+l forbidden suborders where Cn is n-th Catalan number.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
