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 (non–probes), 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. We show that the recognition problem of probe interval graphs, i.e., probe graphs of the class of interval graphs, is in P.
