Abstract :
Our main result is a polynomialtime algorithm for deciding whether a given graph is a circle graph, that is, the intersection graph of a set of chords on a circle. Our algorithm utilizes two new graph-theoretic results, regarding necessary induced subgraphs of graphs having neither articulation points nor similar pairs of vertices.
