The boxicity of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an intersection model of axis-aligned $d$-dimensional boxes. Boxicity, the problem of deciding whether a given graph $G$ has boxicity at most $d$, is NP-complete for…

An axis-parallel b-dimensional box is a Cartesian product $R_1 \times R_2 \times ... \times R_b$ where each $R_i$ (for $1 \leq i \leq b$) is a closed interval of the form $[a_i,b_i]$ on the real line. The boxicity of any graph $G$, box(G)…

Let $G$ be a simple, undirected, finite graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. A $k$-dimensional box is a Cartesian product of closed intervals $[a_1,b_1]\times [a_2,b_2]\times...\times [a_k,b_k]$. The {\it boxicity} of $G$,…

We prove that the dimension of every poset whose comparability graph has maximum degree $\Delta$ is at most $\Delta\log^{1+o(1)} \Delta$. This result improves on a 30-year old bound of F\"uredi and Kahn, and is within a $\log^{o(1)}\Delta$…

A $d$-box is the cartesian product of $d$ intervals of $\mathbb{R}$ and a $d$-box representation of a graph $G$ is a representation of $G$ as the intersection graph of a set of $d$-boxes in $\mathbb{R}^d$. It was proved by Thomassen in 1986…
