Abstract

Polygon-circle graphs (PC-graphs) are defined as intersection graphs of polygons inscribed into a circle, graphs of interval filaments (IFA-graphs) are intersection graphs of curves with both endpoints on prescribed line (filament), filaments above two disjoint intervals must not intersect each other. Recognition of these classes has been a long outstanding open problem. We prove that it is NP-complete to recognize both classes.
