Powers of cycles, powers of paths, and distance graphs

In 1988, Golumbic and Hammer characterized the powers of cycles, relating them to circular arc graphs. We extend their results and propose several further structural characterizations for both powers of cycles and powers of paths. The characterizations lead to linear-time recognition algorithms of t...
