In this short note, we relate the boxicity of graphs (and the dimension of posets) with their generalized coloring parameters. In particular, together with known estimates, our results imply that any graph with no $K_t$-minor can be represented as the intersection of $O(t^2\log t)$ interval graphs (improving the previous bound of $O(t^4)$), and as the intersection of $\tfrac{15}2 t^2$ circular-arc graphs.

In this chapter, a very important class of graphs called intersection graph is introduced. Based on the geometrical representation, many different types of intersection graphs can be defined with interesting properties. Some of them—interval graphs, circular-arc graphs, permutation graphs, trapezoid graphs, chordal graphs, line graphs, disk graphs, string graphs—are presented here. A brief introduction of each of these intersection graphs along with some basic properties and algorithmic status are investigated.

Deciding if a graph is Δ-edge-colourable (resp. (Δ + 1)-total colourable), although it is an NP-complete problem for graphs in general, is polynomially solvable for interval graphs of odd (resp. even) maximum degree Δ. An interesting superclass of the proper interval graphs are the proper circular-arc graphs, for which we suspect that Δ-edge-colourability is linear-time decidable. This work presents sufficient conditions for Δ-edge-colourability, (Δ + 1)-total colourability, and (Δ+2)-total colourability of proper circular-arc graphs. Our proofs are constructive and yield polynomial-time algorithms.

Abstract In this short note, we prove the following analog of the Kővári–Sós–Turán theorem for intersection graphs of boxes. If G is the intersection graph of n axis-parallel boxes in $${{\mathbb{R}}^d}$$ such that G contains no copy of K t,t , then G has at most ctn( log n)2d+3 edges, where c = c(d)>0 only depends on d. Our proof is based on exploring connections between boxicity, separation dimension and poset dimension. Using this approach, we also show that a construction of Basit, Chernikov, Starchenko, Tao and Tran of K2,2-free incidence graphs of points and rectangles in the plane can be used to disprove a conjecture of Alon, Basavaraju, Chandran, Mathew and Rajendraprasad. We show that there exist graphs of separation dimension 4 having superlinear number of edges.
