Abstract

Given a class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$, a graph G is a probe graph of$\mathcal{G}$ if its vertices can be partitioned into two sets ℙ, the probes, and ℕ, the nonprobes, where ℕ is an independent set, such that G can be embedded into a graph of $\mathcal{G}$ by adding edges between certain vertices of ℕ. If the partition of the vertices into probes and nonprobes is part of the input, then we call the graph a partitioned probe graph of$\mathcal{G}$. In this paper, we provide a recognition algorithm for partitioned probe permutation graphs with time complexity O(n2) where n is the number of vertices in the input graph. We show that there are at most O(n4) minimal separators for a probe permutation graph. As a consequence, there exist polynomial-time algorithms solving treewidth and minimum fill-in problems for probe permutation graphs.
