In this paper we continue the study of the edge intersection graphs of one (or zero) bend paths on a rectangular grid. That is, the edge intersection graphs where each vertex is represented by one of the following shapes: $llcorner$,$ulcorner$, $urcorner$, $lrcorner$, and we consider zero bend paths (i.e., | and $-$) to be degenerate $llcorner$s. These graphs, called $B_1$-EPG graphs, were first introduced by Golumbic et al (2009). We consider the natural subclasses of $B_1$-EPG formed by the subsets of the four single bend shapes (i.e., {$llcorner$}, {$llcorner$,$ulcorner$}, {$llcorner$,$urcorner$}, and {$llcorner$,$ulcorner$,$urcorner$}) and we denote the classes by [$llcorner$], [$llcorner$,$ulcorner$], [$llcorner$,$urcorner$], and [$llcorner$,$ulcorner$,$urcorner$] respectively. Note: all other subsets are isomorphic to these up to 90 degree rotation. We show that testing for membership in each of these classes is NP-complete and observe the expected strict inclusions and incomparability (i.e., [$llcorner$] $subsetneq$ [$llcorner$,$ulcorner$], [$llcorner$,$urcorner$] $subsetneq$ [$llcorner$,$ulcorner$,$urcorner$] $subsetneq$ $B_1$-EPG; also, [$llcorner$,$ulcorner$] is incomparable with [$llcorner$,$urcorner$]). Additionally, we give characterizations and polytime recognition algorithms for special subclasses of Split $cap$ [$llcorner$].

We consider the NP-complete problem of tracking paths in a graph, first introduced by Banik et. al. [3]. Given an undirected graph with a source $s$ and a destination $t$, find the smallest subset of vertices whose intersection with any $s-t$ path re sults in a unique sequence. In this paper, we show that this problem remains NP-complete when the graph is planar and we give a 4-approximation algorithm in this setting. We also show, via Courcelles theorem, that it can be solved in linear time for graphs of bounded-clique width, when its clique decomposition is given in advance.
Given a graph, the shortest-path problem requires finding a sequence of edges with minimum cumulative length that connects a source vertex to a target vertex. We consider a generalization of this classical problem in which the position of each vertex in the graph is a continuous decision variable, constrained to lie in a corresponding convex set. The length of an edge is then defined as a convex function of the positions of the vertices it connects. Problems of this form arise naturally in motion planning of autonomous vehicles, robot navigation, and even optimal control of hybrid dynamical systems. The price for such a wide applicability is the complexity of this problem, which is easily seen to be NP-hard. Our main contribution is a strong mixed-integer convex formulation based on perspective functions. This formulation has a very tight convex relaxation and makes it possible to efficiently find globally-optimal paths in large graphs and in high-dimensional spaces.
Bir{o} et al. (1992) introduced $H$-graphs, intersection graphs of connected subgraphs of a subdivision of a graph $H$. They are related to many classes of geometric intersection graphs, e.g., interval graphs, circular-arc graphs, split graphs, and c hordal graphs. We negatively answer the 25-year-old question of Bir{o} et al. which asks if $H$-graphs can be recognized in polynomial time, for a fixed graph $H$. We prove that it is NP-complete if $H$ contains the diamond graph as a minor. We provide a polynomial-time algorithm recognizing $T$-graphs, for each fixed tree $T$. When $T$ is a star $S_d$ of degree $d$, we have an $O(n^{3.5})$-time algorithm. We give FPT- and XP-time algorithms solving the minimum dominating set problem on $S_d$-graphs and $H$-graphs parametrized by $d$ and the size of $H$, respectively. The algorithm for $H$-graphs adapts to an XP-time algorithm for the independent set and the independent dominating set problems on $H$-graphs. If $H$ contains the double-triangle as a minor, we prove that $H$-graphs are GI-complete and that the clique problem is APX-hard. The clique problem can be solved in polynomial time if $H$ is a cactus graph. When a graph $G$ has a Helly $H$-representation, the clique problem can be solved in polynomial time. We show that both the $k$-clique and the list $k$-coloring problems are solvable in FPT-time on $H$-graphs (parameterized by $k$ and the treewidth of $H$). In fact, these results apply to classes of graphs with treewidth bounded by a function of the clique number. We observe that $H$-graphs have at most $n^{O(|H|)}$ minimal separators which allows us to apply the meta-algorithmic framework of Fomin et al. (2015) to show that for each fixed $t$, finding a maximum induced subgraph of treewidth $t$ can be done in polynomial time. When $H$ is a cactus, we improve the bound to $O(|H|n^2)$.
A graph $G$ is said to be the intersection of graphs $G_1,G_2,ldots,G_k$ if $V(G)=V(G_1)=V(G_2)=cdots=V(G_k)$ and $E(G)=E(G_1)cap E(G_2)capcdotscap E(G_k)$. For a graph $G$, $mathrm{dim}_{COG}(G)$ (resp. $mathrm{dim}_{TH}(G)$) denotes the minimum num ber of cographs (resp. threshold graphs) whose intersection gives $G$. We present several new bounds on these parameters for general graphs as well as some special classes of graphs. It is shown that for any graph $G$: (a) $mathrm{dim}_{COG}(G)leqmathrm{tw}(G)+2$, (b) $mathrm{dim}_{TH}(G)leqmathrm{pw}(G)+1$, and (c) $mathrm{dim}_{TH}(G)leqchi(G)cdotmathrm{box}(G)$, where $mathrm{tw}(G)$, $mathrm{pw}(G)$, $chi(G)$ and $mathrm{box}(G)$ denote respectively the treewidth, pathwidth, chromatic number and boxicity of the graph $G$. We also derive the exact values for these parameters for cycles and show that every forest is the intersection of two cographs. These results allow us to derive improved bounds on $mathrm{dim}_{COG}(G)$ and $mathrm{dim}_{TH}(G)$ when $G$ belongs to some special graph classes.

In 1966, Gallai asked whether all longest paths in a connected graph share a common vertex. Counterexamples indicate that this is not true in general. However, Gallais question is positive for certain well-known classes of connected graphs, such as s plit graphs, interval graphs, circular arc graphs, outerplanar graphs, and series-parallel graphs. A graph is $2K_2$-free if it does not contain two independent edges as an induced subgraph. In this paper, we show that in nonempty $2K_2$-free graphs, every vertex of maximum degree is common to all longest paths. Our result implies that all longest paths in a nonempty $2K_2$-free graph have a nonempty intersection. In particular, it gives a new proof for the result on split graphs, as split graphs are $2K_2$-free.
