Abstract

We introduce a new way to compute common intervals of K permutations based on a very simple and general notion of generators of common intervals. This formalism leads to simple and efficient algorithms to compute the set of all common intervals of K permutations, that can contain a quadratic number of intervals, as well as a linear space basis of this set of common intervals. Finally, we show how our results on permutations can be used for computing the modular decomposition of graphs in linear time.
