Completion of the mixed unit interval graphs hierarchy
Abstract
We describe the missing class of the hierarchy of mixed unit interval graphs, generated by the intersection graphs of closed, open and one type of half-open intervals of the real line. This class lies strictly between unit interval graphs and mixed unit interval graphs. We give a complete characterization of this new class, as well as quadratic-time algorithms that recognize graphs from this class and produce a corresponding interval representation if one exists. We also mention that the work in arXiv:1405.4247 directly extends to provide a quadratic-time algorithm to recognize the class of mixed unit interval graphs.

17 pages, 36 figures (three not numbered). v1 Accepted in the TAMC 2015 conference. The recognition algorithm is faster in v2. One graph was not listed in Theorem 7 of v1 of this paper v3 provides a proposition to recognize the mixed unit interval graphs in quadratic time. v4 is a lot clearer
