An {\em ordered $r$-graph} is an $r$-uniform hypergraph whose vertex set is linearly ordered. Given $2\leq k\leq r$, an ordered $r$-graph $H$ is {\em interval} $k$-{\em partite} if there exist at least $k$ disjoint intervals in the ordering…
An interval $k$-graph is the intersection graph of a family $\mathcal{I}$ of intervals of the real line partitioned into at most $k$ classes with vertices adjacent if and only if their corresponding intervals intersect and belong to…
Characterisations of interval graphs, comparability graphs, co-comparability graphs, permutation graphs, and split graphs in terms of linear orderings of the vertex set are presented. As an application, it is proved that interval graphs,…
We introduce the class of interval $H$-graphs, which is the generalization of interval graphs, particularly interval bigraphs. For a fixed graph $H$ with vertices $a_1,a_2,\dots,a_k$, we say that an input graph $G$ with given partition…
Consider two horizontal lines in the plane. A pair of a point on the top line and an interval on the bottom line defines a triangle between two lines. The intersection graph of such triangles is called a simple-triangle graph. This paper…
A digraph consisting of a set of vertices $V$ and a set of arcs $E$ is called an interval digraph if there exists a family of closed intervals $\{I_u,J_u\}_{u \in V}$ such that $uv$ is an arc if and only if the intersection of $I_u$ and…
In a paired threshold graph, each vertex has a weight, and two vertices are adjacent if their weight sum is large enough and their weight difference is small enough. It generalizes threshold graphs and unit interval graphs, both very well…
We introduce the class of circular-arc H-graphs, which generalizes circular-arc graphs, particularly circular-arc bigraphs. We investigate two types of ordering-based characterizations of circular-arc r-graphs. Finally, we provide forbidden…
A vertebrate interval graph is an interval graph in which the maximum size of a set of independent vertices equals the number of maximal cliques. For any fixed $v \ge 1$, there is a polynomial-time algorithm for deciding whether a…
An edge-coloring of a graph $G$ with colors $1,\ldots,t$ is an interval $t$-coloring if all colors are used, and the colors of edges incident to each vertex of $G$ are distinct and form an interval of integers. A graph $G$ is interval…
In this article, we present two new characterizations of circular-arc bigraphs based on their vertex ordering. Also, we provide a characterization of circular-arc bigraphs in terms of forbidden patterns with respect to a particular ordering…
The interval graph for a set of intervals on a line consists of one vertex for each interval, and an edge for each intersecting pair of intervals. A probe interval graph is a variant that is motivated by an application to genomics, where…
This article investigates the properties of order-divisor graphs associated with finite groups. An order-divisor graph of a finite group is an undirected graph in which the set of vertices includes all elements of the group, and two…
The class of closed graphs by a linear ordering on their sets of vertices is investigated. A recent characterization of such a class of graphs is analyzed by using tools from the proper interval graph theory.
A graph is called a chain graph if it is bipartite and the neighborhoods of the vertices in each color class form a chain with respect to inclusion. A threshold graph can be obtained from a chain graph by making adjacent all pairs of…
A graph is called an $(r,k)$-graph if its vertex set can be partitioned into $r$ parts, each having at most $k$ vertices and there is at least one edge between any two parts. Let $f(r,H)$ be the minimum $k$ for which there exists an…
A proper edge $t$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a coloring of edges of $G$ with colors $1,2,...,t$ such that all colors are used, and no two adjacent edges receive the same color. The set of colors of edges incident with a vertex $x$ is called…
We initiate the study of a new parameterization of graph problems. In a multiple interval representation of a graph, each vertex is associated to at least one interval of the real line, with an edge between two vertices if and only if an…
We study subclasses of grid intersection graphs from the perspective of order dimension. We show that partial orders of height two whose comparability graph is a grid intersection graph have order dimension at most four. Starting from this…
It was noted already in the 90s that many classic graph classes, such as interval, chordal, and bipartite graphs, can be characterized by the existence of an ordering of the vertices avoiding some ordered subgraphs, called patterns. Very…
