Abstract

A graph G = (V, E) is said to be an intersection graph if and only if there is a set of objects such that each vertex v in V corresponds to an object Ov and {u, v} ∈ E if and only if Ov and Ou have a nonempty intersection. Interval graphs are typical intersection graph class, and widely investigated since they have simple structures and many hard problems become easy on the graphs. In this paper, we survey known results and investigate (unit) grid intersection graphs, which is one of natural generalized interval graphs. We show that the graph class has so rich structure that some typical problems are still hard on the graph class.
