Abstract

The \({{\mathrm{\mathrm {AT}}}}\)-free order is a linear order of the vertices of a graph the existence of which characterizes \({{\mathrm{\mathrm {AT}}}}\)-free graphs. We show that all \({{\mathrm{\mathrm {AT}}}}\)-free orders of an \({{\mathrm{\mathrm {AT}}}}\)-free graph can be generated in O(1) amortized time.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A convexity space has Carathéodory number k if k is the smallest integer satisfying the following property. If \(x \in \sigma (X)\) for a set X then there exists a \(X^{\prime } \subseteq X\) with \(|X^{\prime }| \le k\) and \(x \in \sigma (X^{\prime })\).
