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.

This work shows that any hereditary class of graphs of bounded clique cover number that excludes some complete prism is tame, and develops a dichotomy theorem separating tame from non-tame graph classes within the family of graph classes defined by sets of forbidden induced subgraphs with at most four vertices.

A Characterization of Comparability Graphs and of Interval Graphs
• Mathematics

Let < be a non-reflexive partial ordering defined on a set P. Let G(P, <) be the undirected graph whose vertices are the elements of P, and whose edges (a, b) connect vertices for which either a < b
The splittance of a graph
• Mathematics

• 1981
The splittance of an arbitrary graph is seen to depend only on the degree sequence of the graph, and an explicit formula for it is derived to give a simple characterization of the degree sequences of split graphs.
Two tricks to triangulate chordal probe graphs in polynomial time
• Mathematics

Several characterizations of chordal probe graphs are given, first in the case of a fixed given partition of the vertices into probes and non-probes, and second in the more general case where no partition is given.
