Abstract

We investigate graphs that can be represented as vertex intersections of horizontal and vertical paths in a grid, known as B0 -VPG graphs. Recognizing these graphs is an NP-hard problem. In light of this, we focus on their subclasses. In the paper, we describe polynomial time algorithms for recognizing chordal B0 -VPG graphs, and for recognizing B0 -VPG graphs that have a representation on a grid with 2 rows.
