A path is a simple, piecewise linear curve made up of alternating horizontal and vertical line segments in the plane. A $k$-bend path is a path made up of at most $k + 1$ line segments. A $B_k$-VPG representation of a graph is a collection…

If a graph $G$ can be represented by means of paths on a grid, such that each vertex of $G$ corresponds to one path on the grid and two vertices of $G$ are adjacent if and only if the corresponding paths share a grid edge, then this graph…

In a representation of a graph $G$ as an edge intersection graph of paths on a grid (EPG) every vertex of $G$ is represented by a path on a grid and two paths share a grid edge iff the corresponding vertices are adjacent. In a monotonic EPG…

Golumbic, Lipshteyn, and Stern defined in 2009 the class of EPG graphs, the intersection graph class of edge paths on a grid. An EPG graph $G$ is a graph that admits a representation where its vertices correspond to paths in a grid $Q$,…

A k-dimensional box is the Cartesian product R_1 x R_2 x ... x R_k where each R_i is a closed interval on the real line. The boxicity of a graph G, denoted as box(G) is the minimum integer k such that G is the intersection graph of a…

An EPG-representation of a graph $G$ is a collection of paths in a plane square grid, each corresponding to a single vertex of $G$, so that two vertices are adjacent if and only if their corresponding paths share infinitely many points. In…

In this paper we continue the systematic study of Contact graphs of Paths on a Grid (CPG graphs) initiated in [Deniz et al., 2018]. A CPG graph is a graph for which there exists a collection of pairwise interiorly disjoint paths on a grid…

In this paper, we prove that every planar graph has a 1-string $B_2$-VPG representation---a string representation using paths in a rectangular grid that contain at most two bends. Furthermore, two paths representing vertices $u,v$ intersect…

A $k$-bend path is a non-self-intersecting polyline in the plane made of at most $k+1$ axis-parallel line segments. B$_k$-VPG is the class of graphs which can be represented as intersection graphs of $k$-bend paths in the same plane. In…

In this paper we study properties of intersection graphs of k-bend paths in the rectangular grid. A k-bend path is a path with at most k 90 degree turns. The class of graphs representable by intersections of k-bend paths is denoted by…

An L-shape is the union of a horizontal and a vertical segment with a common endpoint. These come in four rotations: L, \Gamma, LE{} and \eeG. A $k$-bend path is a simple path in the plane, whose direction changes $k$ times from horizontal…

Golumbic, Lipshteyn and Stern \cite{Golumbic-epg} proved that every graph can be represented as the edge intersection graph of paths on a grid (EPG graph), i.e., one can associate with each vertex of the graph a nontrivial path on a…

Given a tree and a set ${\cal P}$ of non-trivial simple paths on it, $VPT({\cal P})$ is the VPT graph (i.e. the vertex intersection graph) of the paths ${\cal P}$ of the tree $T$, and $EPT({\cal P})$ is the EPT graph (i.e. the edge…

For a connected labelled graph $G$, a {\em spanning tree} $T$ is a connected and an acyclic subgraph that spans all vertices of $G$. In this paper, we consider a classical combinatorial problem which is to list all spanning trees of $G$. A…

Given a tree and a set P of non-trivial simple paths on it, VPT(P) is the VPT graph (i.e. the vertex intersection graph) of the paths P, and EPT(P) is the EPT graph (i.e. the edge intersection graph) of P. These graphs have been extensively…

We introduce a new class of intersection graphs, the edge intersection graphs of paths on a triangular grid, called EPGt graphs. We show similarities and differences from this new class to the well-known class of EPG graphs. A turn of a…

The families EPT (resp. EPG) Edge Intersection Graphs of Paths in a tree (resp. in a grid) are well studied graph classes. Recently we introduced the graph classes Edge-Intersecting and Non-Splitting Paths in a Tree ENPT, and in a Grid…

In an EPG-representation of a graph $G$ each vertex is represented by a path in the rectangular grid, and $(v,w)$ is an edge in $G$ if and only if the paths representing $v$ an $w$ share a grid-edge. Requiring paths representing edges to be…

A Halin graph is a graph constructed by embedding a tree with no vertex of degree two in the plane and then adding a cycle to join the tree's leaves. The Halin Tur\'an number of a graph $F$, denoted as $\ex_{\hh}(n,F)$, is the maximum…

Let $B$ be a set of Eulerian subgraphs of a graph $G$. We say $B$ forms a $k$-basis if it is a minimum set that generates the cycle space of $G$, and any edge of $G$ lies in at most $k$ members of $B$. The basis number of a graph $G$,…
