In this paper we extend the work of Rautenbach and Szwarcfiter by giving a structural characterization of graphs that can be represented by the intersection of unit intervals that may or may not contain their endpoints. A characterization was proved independently by Joos, however our approach provides an algorithm that produces such a representation, as well as a forbidden graph characterization.

Corneil, Olariu, and Stewart [SODA 1998; SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics 2009] presented a recognition algorithm for interval graphs by six graph searches. Li and Wu [Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science 2014] simplified it to onl y four. The great simplicity of the latter algorithm is however eclipsed by the complicated and long proofs. The main purpose of this paper is to present a new and significantly short proof for Li and Wus algorithm, as well as a simpler implementation. We also give a self-contained simpler interpretation of the recognition algorithm of Corneil [Discrete Applied Mathematics 2004] for unit interval graphs, based on three sweeps of graph searches. Moreover, we show that two sweeps are already sufficient. Toward the proofs of the main results, we make several new structural observations that might be of independent interests.
An interval $k$-graph is the intersection graph of a family $mathcal{I}$ of intervals of the real line partitioned into at most $k$ classes with vertices adjacent if and only if their corresponding intervals intersect and belong to different classes. In this paper we discuss the interval $k$-graphs that are the incomparability graphs of orders; i.e., cocomparability interval $k$-graphs or interval $k$-orders. Interval $2$-orders have been characterized in many ways, but we show that analogous characterizations do not carry over to interval $k$-orders, for $k > 2$. We describe the structure of interval $k$-orders, for any $k$, characterize the interval $3$-orders (cocomparability interval $3$-graphs) via one forbidden suborder (subgraph), and state a conjecture for interval $k$-orders (any $k$) that would characterize them via two forbidden suborders.

We confirm the equitable $Delta$-coloring conjecture for interval graphs and establish the monotonicity of equitable colorability for them. We further obtain results on equitable colorability about square (or Cartesian) and cross (or direct) products of graphs.
A $k$-improper edge coloring of a graph $G$ is a mapping $alpha:E(G)longrightarrow mathbb{N}$ such that at most $k$ edges of $G$ with a common endpoint have the same color. An improper edge coloring of a graph $G$ is called an improper interval edge coloring if the colors of the edges incident to each vertex of $G$ form an integral interval. In this paper we introduce and investigate a new notion, the interval coloring impropriety (or just impropriety) of a graph $G$ defined as the smallest $k$ such that $G$ has a $k$-improper interval edge coloring; we denote the smallest such $k$ by $mu_{mathrm{int}}(G)$. We prove upper bounds on $mu_{mathrm{int}}(G)$ for general graphs $G$ and for particular families such as bipartite, complete multipartite and outerplanar graphs; we also determine $mu_{mathrm{int}}(G)$ exactly for $G$ belonging to some particular classes of graphs. Furthermore, we provide several families of graphs with large impropriety; in particular, we prove that for each positive integer $k$, there exists a graph $G$ with $mu_{mathrm{int}}(G) =k$. Finally, for graphs with at least two vertices we prove a new upper bound on the number of colors used in an improper interval edge coloring.
A proper edge-coloring of a graph $G$ with colors $1,ldots,t$ is called an emph{interval cyclic $t$-coloring} if all colors are used, and the edges incident to each vertex $vin V(G)$ are colored by $d_{G}(v)$ consecutive colors modulo $t$, where $d_{ G}(v)$ is the degree of a vertex $v$ in $G$. A graph $G$ is emph{interval cyclically colorable} if it has an interval cyclic $t$-coloring for some positive integer $t$. The set of all interval cyclically colorable graphs is denoted by $mathfrak{N}_{c}$. For a graph $Gin mathfrak{N}_{c}$, the least and the greatest values of $t$ for which it has an interval cyclic $t$-coloring are denoted by $w_{c}(G)$ and $W_{c}(G)$, respectively. In this paper we investigate some properties of interval cyclic colorings. In particular, we prove that if $G$ is a triangle-free graph with at least two vertices and $Gin mathfrak{N}_{c}$, then $W_{c}(G)leq vert V(G)vert +Delta(G)-2$. We also obtain bounds on $w_{c}(G)$ and $W_{c}(G)$ for various classes of graphs. Finally, we give some methods for constructing of interval cyclically non-colorable graphs.
