New advances about a conjecture on Helly circle graphs

A circle graph is the intersection graph of a set of chords on a circle. A graph is Helly circle if there is a model of chords satisfying the Helly property. In 2003 it was conjectured that Helly circle graphs are exactly diamond-free circle graphs. In this work, we propose a method to compress any...

Sumario:A circle graph is the intersection graph of a set of chords on a circle. A graph is Helly circle if there is a model of chords satisfying the Helly property. In 2003 it was conjectured that Helly circle graphs are exactly diamond-free circle graphs. In this work, we propose a method to compress any Helly circle representation of a graph and give some ideas to advance in an inductive proof of the diamond conjecture. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
