Grid Intersection Graphs and Order Dimension
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study bipartite geometric intersection graphs from the perspective of order dimension. We show that partial orders of height two whose comparability graph is a grid intersection graph have order dimension at most four. Starting from this observation we look at various classes of graphs between grid intersection graph and bipartite permutations graphs and the containment relation on these classes. Order dimension plays a role in many arguments.

Grid intersection graphs and boxicity
A graph has hyuiciry k if k is the smallest integer such that G is an intersection graph of k-dimensional boxes in a &-dimensional space (where the sides of the boxes are parallel to the coordinate axis). A graph has grid dimension k if k is the smallest integer such that G is an intersection graph of k-dimensional boxes (parallel to the coordinate axis) in a (k+ I)-dimensional space. We prove ...
متن کاملPosets and VPG Graphs
We investigate the class of intersection graphs of paths on a grid (VPG graphs), and specifically the relationship between the bending number of a cocomparability graph and the poset dimension of its complement. We show that the bending number of a cocomparability graph G is at most the poset dimension of the complement of G minus one. Then, via Ramsey type arguments, we show our upper bound is...
متن کاملIntersection Dimension of Bipartite Graphs
We introduce a concept of intersection dimension of a graph with respect to a graph class. This generalizes Ferrers dimension, boxicity, and poset dimension, and leads to interesting new problems. We focus in particular on bipartite graph classes defined as intersection graphs of two kinds of geometric objects. We relate well-known graph classes such as interval bigraphs, two-directional orthog...
متن کاملThe Order Dimension of Planar Maps Revisited
Schnyder characterized planar graphs in terms of order dimension. This seminal result found several extensions. A particularly far reaching extension is the Brightwell-Trotter Theorem about planar maps. It states that the order dimension of the incidence poset PM of vertices, edges and faces of a planar map M has dimension at most 4. The original proof generalizes the machinery of Schnyder-path...
متن کاملEdge intersection graphs of systems of grid paths with bounded number of bends
We answer some of the questions raised by Golumbic, Lipshteyn and Stern regarding edge intersection graphs of paths on a grid (EPG graphs). We prove that for any d ≥ 4, in order to represent all n vertex graphs with maximum degree d as edge intersection graphs of n paths, a grid of area Θ(n2) is needed. A bend is a turn of a path at a grid point. Let Bk be the class of graphs that have an EPG r...
