Title
Linear-Time Recognition of Double-Threshold Graphs
Abstract
A graph $G = (V,E)$ is a double-threshold graph if there exist a vertex-weight function $w \colon V \to \mathbb{R}$ and two real numbers $\mathtt{lb}, \mathtt{ub} \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $uv \in E$ if and only if $\mathtt{lb} \le \mathtt{w}(u) + \mathtt{w}(v) \le \mathtt{ub}$. In the literature, those graphs are studied as the pairwise compatibility graphs that have stars as their underlying trees. We give a new characterization of double-threshold graphs, which gives connections to bipartite permutation graphs. Using the new characterization, we present a linear-time algorithm for recognizing double-threshold graphs. Prior to our work, the fastest known algorithm by Xiao and Nagamochi [COCOON 2018] ran in $O(n^6)$ time, where $n$ is the number of vertices.
