A Linear Time Algorithm for Deciding Interval Graph Isomorphism

Abstract: A graph is an interval graph tf and only if each of Its verttces can be associated with an interval on the real hne m such a way that two vertices are adjacent m the graph exactly when the corresponding mtervals have a nonempty mtersectmn An effictent algonthrn for testing tsomorpinsm of interval graphs ts unplemented using a data structure called a PQ-tree. The algorithm runs m O(n + e) steps for graphs having n vemces and e edges It is shown that for a somewhat larger class of graphs, namely the chordal grap… Show more

“…It is known that Graph Isomorphism is Graph Isomorphism-complete even for pairs (G, R) where G and R are chordal graphs [21]. From Theorem 4.1 we get an immediate polynomial time reduction from Graph Isomorphism on chordal graphs to Cover on chordal graphs, and vice versa.…”

“…Hence Cover is Graph Isomorphism-complete for pairs (G, R) where G and R are chordal graphs. On the other hand, Cover is polynomial time solvable on interval graphs, and hence also on proper interval graphs, since isomorphism between two interval graphs can be checked in polynomial time [21]. Because every locally bijective homomorphism is locally surjective, we can use Theorem 2.6 to deduce that these three results stay valid for input pairs (G, R) where only G is required to be chordal and R may be an arbitrary graph.…”

“…A vector is said to be maximal with respect to a set of vectors if no vector in the set is greater than the given vector in all coordinates. Preparata [1978] has given a data structure SMS for This structure has the same performance as Lueker's [1979], but is substantially easier to code and prove correct; his structure, however, also supports deletions.…”

“…Most studies of graph isomorphism (Hopcroft and Wong, 1974;Lueker, 1979;Babai et al, 1980;Galil et al, 1987;Hirata and Inagaki, 1988;Akutsu, 1988) restrict graphs by their characteristics. Some studies are undertaken based on group theory.…”
