Abstract

For many problems on permutation graphs, polynomial time bounds were found by using different approaches as e.g. dynamic programming, structural properties of the intersection model, the reformulation as a shortest-path problem on suitable derived graphs and a geometric representation as points in the plane. Here we outline these approaches and apply them to two problems: minimum weight independent dominating set and maximum weight cycle-free subgraph (minimum weight feedback vertex set).
