Abstract

A simultaneous representation of (vertex-labeled) graphs G_1,… ,G_k consists of a (geometric) intersection representation R_i for each graph G_i such that each vertex v is represented by the same geometric object in each R_i for which G_i contains v. While Jampani and Lubiw showed that the existence of simultaneous interval representations for k = 2 can be tested efficiently (2010), testing it for graphs where k is part of the input is NP-complete (Bok and Jedličková, 2018). An important special case of simultaneous representations is the sunflower case, where G_i ∩ G_j = (V(G_i)∩ V(G_j),E(G_i)∩ E(G_j)) is the same graph for each i ≠ j. We give an O(∑_{i=1}^k (|V(G_i)|+|E(G_i)|))-time algorithm for deciding the existence of a simultaneous interval representation for the sunflower case, even when k is part of the input. This answers an open question of Jampani and Lubiw.
