Intersection Dimension of Bipartite Graphs

چکیده
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 orthogonal ray graphs, chain graphs, and (unit) grid intersection graphs with respect to these dimensions. As an application of these graphtheoretic results, we show that the recognition problems for certain graph classes are NP-complete.

Some lower bounds for the $L$-intersection number of graphs
For a set of non-negative integers~$L$, the $L$-intersection number of a graph is the smallest number~$l$ for which there is an assignment of subsets $A_v subseteq {1,dots, l}$ to vertices $v$, such that every two vertices $u,v$ are adjacent if and only if $|A_u cap A_v|in L$. The bipartite $L$-intersection number is defined similarly when the conditions are considered only for the ver...
متن کاملGrid Intersection Graphs and Order Dimension
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 cla...
متن کاملGrid 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 کاملOn set intersection representations of graphs
The intersection dimension of a bipartite graph with respect to a type L is the smallest number t for which it is possible to assign sets Ax ⊆ {1, . . . , t} of labels to vertices x so that any two vertices x and y from different parts are adjacent if and only if |Ax ∩Ay| ∈ L. The weight of such a representation is the sum ∑x |Ax| over all vertices x. We exhibit explicit bipartite n×n graphs wh...
متن کاملRing graphs and complete intersection toric ideals
We study the family of graphs whose number of primitive cycles equals its cycle rank. It is shown that this family is precisely the family of ring graphs. Then we study the complete intersection property of toric ideals of bipartite graphs and oriented graphs. An interesting application is that complete intersection toric ideals of bipartite graphs correspond to ring graphs and that these ideal...
