An edge-coloring of a graph $G$ with colors $1,2,ldots,t$ is an interval $t$-coloring if all colors are used, and the colors of edges incident to each vertex of $G$ are distinct and form an interval of integers. A graph $G$ is interval colorable if it has an interval $t$-coloring for some positive integer $t$. For an interval colorable graph $G$, $W(G)$ denotes the greatest value of $t$ for which $G$ has an interval $t$-coloring. It is known that the complete graph is interval colorable if and only if the number of its vertices is even. However, the exact value of $W(K_{2n})$ is known only for $n leq 4$. The second author showed that if $n = p2^q$, where $p$ is odd and $q$ is nonnegative, then $W(K_{2n}) geq 4n-2-p-q$. Later, he conjectured that if $n in mathbb{N}$, then $W(K_{2n}) = 4n - 2 - leftlfloorlog_2{n}rightrfloor - left | n_2 right |$, where $left | n_2 right |$ is the number of $1$s in the binary representation of $n$. In this paper we introduce a new technique to construct interval colorings of complete graphs based on their 1-factorizations, which is used to disprove the conjecture, improve lower and upper bounds on $W(K_{2n})$ and determine its exact values for $n leq 12$.
A lower bound is obtained for the greatest possible number of colors in an interval colourings of some regular graphs.
Problems of existence, construction and estimation of parameters of interval colorings of complete k-partite graphs K_{n}^{k} are investigated.
We unify several seemingly different graph and digraph classes under one umbrella. These classes are all broadly speaking different generalizations of interval graphs, and include, in addition to interval graphs, also adjusted interval digraphs, threshold graphs, complements of threshold tolerance graphs (known as `co-TT graphs), bipartite interval containment graphs, bipartite co-circular arc graphs, and two-directional orthogonal ray graphs. (The last three classes coincide, but have been investigated in different contexts.) This common view is made possible by introducing loops. We also show that all the above classes are united by a common ordering characterization, the existence of a min ordering. We propose a common generalization of all these graph and digraph classes, namely signed-interval digraphs, and show that they are precisely the digraphs that are characterized by the existence of a min ordering. We also offer an alternative geometric characterization of these digraphs. For most of the above example graph and digraph classes, we show that they are exactly those signed-interval digraphs that satisfy a suitable natural restriction on the digraph, like having all loops, or having a symmetric edge-set, or being bipartite. (For instance co-TT graphs are precisely those signed-interval digraphs that have each edge symmetric.) We also offer some discussion of recognition algorithms and characterizations, saving the details for future papers.
In this paper we obtain several characterizations of the adjacency matrix of a probe interval graph. In course of this study we describe an easy method of obtaining interval representation of an interval bipartite graph from its adjacency matrix. Finally, we note that if we add a loop at every probe vertex of a probe interval graph, then the Ferrers dimension of the corresponding symmetric bipartite graph is at most 3.
