Partially ordered sets of small width and graphs of small Dilworth number have many interesting properties and have been well studied. Here we show that recognition of such orders and graphs can be done more efficiently than by using the well-known algorithms based on bipartite matching and matrix multiplication. In particular, we show that deciding deciding if an order has width k can be done in O(kn2) time and whether a graph has Dilworth number k can be done in O(k2n2) time.For very small k…

Graph Classes with Structured Neighborhoods and Algorithmic Applications
• Mathematics, Computer Science

This paper studies graph classes for which a decomposition of logarithmic boolean-width is computed, and shows that these decompositions have boolean- width O(logn), which implies that a large class of vertex subset and vertex partitioning problems can be solved in polynomial time on these graph classes.
Nested colourings of graphs
A proper vertex colouring of a graph is \emph{nested} if the vertices of each of its colour classes can be ordered by inclusion of their open neighbourhoods. Through a relation to partially ordered

This paper gives a new characterization of Dilworth k graphs, for each value of k, exactly defining their structure and puts these graphs in relation with pairwise compatibility graphs (PCGs), i.e. graphs on n nodes that can be generated from an edge-weighted tree T that has n leaves.

New Width Parameters of Graphs
The notion of branch decompositions of a set function introduced by Robert-son and Seymour is used to introduce three new graph parameters, boolean-width, max-imum matching-width (MM-width) and maximum induced matching- width (MIM-width), which are compared to existing graph parameters by comparing partial orders of width parameters.

An algorithm based on the notion of frontier antichains, generalizing the standard notion of right-most maximum antichain of a directed acyclic graph, which is faster than all existing MPC algorithms and shows that some basic problems on DAGs get faster algorithms as immediate corollaries of this result.

A characterization result reminiscent of the proof of Dilworth's theorem is proved, which yields as a byproduct a flow-based algorithm for computing such a minimal decomposition of sets and sequences of intervals.
