Partial characterizations of circular-arc graphs

A circular-arc graph is the intersection graph of a family of arcs on a circle. A characterization by forbidden induced subgraphs for this class of graphs is not known, and in this work we present a partial result in this direction. We characterize circular-arc graphs by a list of minimal forbidden...

Sumario:A circular-arc graph is the intersection graph of a family of arcs on a circle. A characterization by forbidden induced subgraphs for this class of graphs is not known, and in this work we present a partial result in this direction. We characterize circular-arc graphs by a list of minimal forbidden induced subgraphswhen the graph belongs to any of the following classes: P 4-free graphs, paw-free graphs, claw-free chordal graphs and diamond-free graphs. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
