Abstract

A graph G=(V,E) is a tolerance graph if there is a set I={Iv|v ∈ V} of closed real intervals and a set τ = {τv|v ∈ V} of positive real numbers such that (x, y) ∈ E ⇔ |Ix ∩ Iy| ≥ min{τx, τy}. We show that every tolerance graph has a polynomial size integer representation. It follows that tolerance graph recognition is in NP.
