Counting Circular Arc Intersections

A New Algorithm for Counting Circular Arc Intersections

Perfect Circular Arc Coloring

The circular arc coloring problem is to find a minimum coloring of a set of arcs of a circle so that no two overlapping arcs share a color. This N P-hard problem arises in a rich variety of applications and has been studied extensively. In this paper we present an O(n2m) combinatorial algorithm for optimally coloring any set of arcs that corresponds to a perfect graph, and propose a new approac...

Robust Circular Arc Detection

In this paper we present a method to robustly detect circular arcs in a line drawing image. The method is fast, robust and very reliable, and is capable of assessing the quality of its detection. It is based on Random Sample Consensus minimization, and uses techniques that are inspired from object tracking in image sequences. It is based on simple initial guesses, either based on connected line...

Computing and Counting Longest Paths on Circular-Arc Graphs in Polynomial Time

The longest path problem asks for a path with the largest number of vertices in a given graph. In contrast to the Hamiltonian path problem, until recently polynomial algorithms for the longest path problem were known only for small graph classes, such as trees. Recently, a polynomial algorithm for this problem on interval graphs has been presented in Ioannidou et al. (2011) [19] with running ti...

Computing and Counting the Longest Paths on Circular-Arc Graphs in Polynomial Time

In contrast to the Hamiltonian path problem, until recently polynomial algorithms for the longest path problem were known only for small graph classes, such as trees. Recently, a polynomial algorithm for this problem on interval graphs has been presented in [20] with running time O(n) on a graph with ...
