Abstract

We propose a linear time recognition algorithm for proper interval graphs. The algorithm is based on certain ordering of vertices, called bicompatible elimination ordering (BCO). Given a BCO of a biconnected proper interval graph G, we also propose a linear time algorithm to construct a Hamiltonian cycle of G.
