Abstract

Let C be a finite set of n elements and R = {r1, r2, ..., rm} a family of m subsets of C. The family R verifies the consecutive ones property if there exists a permutation P of C such that each ri in R is an interval of P. Several algorithms have been proposed to test this property in time O(Σi=1m|ri|), all being involved. We present a simpler algorithm, based on a new partitioning scheme.
