Vertex Intersection Graphs of Paths on a Grid: Characterization Within Block Graphs
We investigate graphs that can be represented as vertex intersections of horizontal and vertical paths in a grid, the so called B0-VPG graphs. Recognizing this class is an NP-complete problem. Although, there exists a polynomial time algorithm for recognizing chordal B0-VPG graphs. In this paper, we...
