In this paper, we deal with the signed bad number and the negative decision number of graphs. We show that two upper bounds concerning these two parameters for bipartite graphs in papers [Discrete Math. Algorithms Appl. 1 (2011), 33--41]…

Signed shifts are generalizations of the shift map in which, interpreted as a map from the unit interval to itself sending x to the fractional part of Nx, some slopes are allowed to be negative. Permutations realized by the relative order…

In this paper we extend the work of Rautenbach and Szwarcfiter by giving a structural characterization of graphs that can be represented by the intersection of unit intervals that may or may not contain their endpoints. A characterization…

A signed graph is a graph together with an assignment of signs to the edges. A closed walk in a signed graph is said to be positive (negative) if it has an even (odd) number of negative edges, counting repetition. Recognizing the signs of…

In 1969, Roberts introduced proper and unit interval graphs and proved that these classes are equal. Natural generalizations of unit interval graphs called $k$-length interval graphs were considered in which the number of different lengths…

Chordal graphs and chordal bigraphs enjoy beautiful characterizations, in terms of forbidden subgraphs, vertex/edge orderings, vertex/edge separating sets, and tree-like representations. In this paper, we introduce chordal signed graphs and…

In the study of full bubble model graphs of bounded clique-width and bounded linear clique-width, we determined complete sets of forbidden induced subgraphs, that are minimal in the class of full bubble model graphs. In this note, we show…

Tolerance graphs model interval relations in such a way that intervals can tolerate a certain amount of overlap without being in conflict. In one of the most natural generalizations of tolerance graphs with direct applications in the…

Klavik et al. [arXiv:1207.6960] recently introduced a generalization of recognition called the bounded representation problem which we study for the classes of interval and proper interval graphs. The input gives a graph G and in addition…

For any natural number $d$, a graph $G$ is a (disjoint) $d$-interval graph if it is the intersection graph of (disjoint) $d$-intervals, the union of $d$ (disjoint) intervals on the real line. Two important subclasses of $d$-interval graphs…

Max-point-tolerance graphs (MPTG) were studied by Catanzaro et al. in 2017 and the same class of graphs were introduced in the name of p-BOX(1) graphs by Soto and Caro in 2015. In our paper we consider central-max-point tolerance graphs…

Let k be a natural number. We introduce k-threshold graphs. We show that there exists an O(n^3) algorithm for the recognition of k-threshold graphs for each natural number k. k-Threshold graphs are characterized by a finite collection of…

We work out the graph limit theory for dense interval graphs. The theory developed departs from the usual description of a graph limit as a symmetric function $W(x,y)$ on the unit square, with $x$ and $y$ uniform on the interval $(0,1)$.…
