Abstract

For any class C\mathcal{C} of bipartite graphs, we define quasi-C\cal C to be the class of all graphs GG such that every bipartition of GG belongs to C\cal C. This definition is motivated by a generalisation of the switch Markov chain on perfect matchings from bipartite graphs to nonbipartite graphs. The monotone graphs, also known as bipartite permutation graphs and proper interval bigraphs, are such a class of bipartite graphs. We investigate the structure of quasi-monotone graphs and hence construct a polynomial time recognition algorithm for graphs in this class.
