Abstract

This paper investigates the new notion of 22-word-π\pi-repre\-sentable graphs: the nodes of the graph correspond to the letters of the two words and there exists an edge between two nodes if the projections of any two letters of both words are equal. The benefit of not only using one word for a representation as introduced by Kitaev and Pyatkin is that every graph is 22-word-π\pi-representable. We present an algorithm that returns two representing words for any graph. Aside, we show that every permutation graph is representable by two 11-uniform words and give constructions how graph operations on 22-word-π\pi-representable graphs can be realised on their representing words which give further insights into the representation of cographs.
