Abstract

For any metric dd on R2\mathbb{R}^2, an (R2,d\mathbb{R}^2,d)-geometric graph is a graph whose vertices are points in R2\mathbb{R}^2, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance is at most 1. If d=.d=\|.\|_{\infty}, the metric derived from the LL_{\infty} norm, then (R2,.)(\mathbb{R} ^2,\|.\|_{\infty})-geometric graphs are precisely those graphs that are the intersection of two unit interval graphs. We refer to (R2,.)(\mathbb{R}^2,\|.\|_{\infty})-geometric graphs as square geometric graphs. We represent a characterization of square geometric graphs. Using this characterization we provide necessary conditions for the class of square geometric Ba,bB_{a,b}-graphs, a generalization of cobipartite graphs. Then by applying some restrictions on these necessary conditions we obtain sufficient conditions for Ba,bB_{a,b}-graphs to be square geometric.
