Abstract

We present a logspace algorithm that constructs a canonical intersection model for a given proper circular-arc graph, where canonical means that isomorphic graphs receive identical models. This implies that the recognition and the isomorphism problems for these graphs are solvable in logspace. For the broader class of concave-round graphs, which still possess (not necessarily proper) circular-arc models, we show that a canonical circular-arc model can also be constructed in logspace. As a building block for these results, we design a logspace algorithm for computing canonical circular-arc models of circular-arc hypergraphs; this important class of hypergraphs corresponds to matrices with the circular ones property. Furthermore, we consider the Star System Problem that consists in reconstructing a graph from its closed neighborhood hypergraph. We show that this problem is solvable in logarithmic space for the classes of proper circular-arc, concave-round, and co-convex graphs.
