Abstract

A graph G is a Generalized Disk Graph if for some dimension η≥ 1, a non-decreasing sub-linear function f and natural number t, each vertex vi can be assigned a length li and set Pi⊆ Rη of t points such that vivj is an edge of G if and only if li≤ lj and d(Pi,Pj)≤lif(lj/li)+lif(1), where d(·, · ) is the least distance between points in either set. Generalized disk graphs were introduced as a model of wireless network interference and have been shown to be dramatically more accurate than disk graphs or other previously known graph classes. However, their properties have not been studied extensively before. We give a geometric representation of these graphs as intersection graphs of convex shapes, relate them to other geometric intersection graph classes, and solve several important optimization problems on these graphs using the geometric representation; either exactly (in two-dimensions) or approximately (in higher dimensions).
