- Permutation graph
In areas of
mathematics influenced bygraph theory , a permutation graph is theintersection graph of a family of line segments that connect two parallel lines in theEuclidean plane . Equivalently, given apermutation (σ1,σ2,σ3,...) of the numbers 1,2,3,..."n", a permutation graph has a vertex for each number 1,2,3,..."n" and an edge between any two numbers that are in reversed order in the permutation.Definition and characterization
* A graph "G" is a permutation graph if and only if "G" is a
circle graph that admits an "equator," i.e., an additional chord that intersects every other chord. [.External links
