The niche graphs of doubly partial orders

چکیده
The competition graph of a doubly partial order is known to be an interval graph. The competition-common enemy graph of a doubly partial order is also known to be an interval graph unless it contains a cycle of length 4 as an induced subgraph. In this paper, we show that the niche graph of a doubly partial order is not necessarily an interval graph. In fact, we prove that, for each n ≥ 4, there exists a doubly partial order whose niche graph contains an induced subgraph isomorphic to a cycle of length n. We also show that if the niche graph of a doubly partial order is triangle-free, then it is an interval graph.

The phylogeny graphs of double partial orders
The competition graph of a doubly partial order is known to be an interval graph. The CCE graph and the niche graph of a doubly partial order are also known to be interval graphs if the graphs do not contain a cycle of length four and three as an induced subgraph, respectively. Phylogeny graphs are variant of competition graphs. The phylogeny graph P (D) of a digraph D is the (simple undirected...
متن کاملOn competition graphs of n-tuply partial orders
Studying competition graphs of interesting digraphs is a basic open problem in the study of competition graphs. In this context, Cho and Kim [1] studied competition graphs of doubly partial orders and gave a nice characterization of the competition graphs of doubly partial orders. In this paper, we extend their results to a general case, which turns out to be quite interesting. Especially, we t...
متن کاملA class of acyclic digraphs with interval competition graphs
Let D be an acyclic digraph. The competition graph of D has the same set of vertices as D and an edge between vertices u and v if and only if there is a vertex x in D such that (u, x) and (v, x) are arcs of D. In this paper, we show that the competition graphs of doubly partial orders are interval graphs. We also show that an interval graph together with enough isolated vertices is the competit...
متن کاملCubic symmetric graphs of orders $36p$ and $36p^{2}$
A graph is textit{symmetric}, if its automorphism group is transitive on the set of its arcs. In this paper, we classifyall the connected cubic symmetric graphs of order $36p$ and $36p^{2}$, for each prime $p$, of which the proof depends on the classification of finite simple groups.
متن کاملThe competition hypergraphs of doubly partial orders
Since Cho and Kim [2] had shown that the competition graph of a doubly partial order is an interval graph, it has been actively studied whether or not the same phenomenon occurs for other variants of competition graph and interesting results have been obtained. Continuing in the same spirit, we study the competition hypergraph, an interesting variant of competition graph, of a doubly partial or...
