Max-point-tolerance graphs (MPTG) was introduced by Catanzaro et al. in 2017 as a generalization of interval graphs. This graph class has many practical applications in study of human genome as well as in signal processing for networks. The same class of graphs were also studied in the name of p-BOX(1) graphs by Soto and Caro in 2015. In our article, we consider a natural subclass of max-point-tolerance graphs namely, proper max-point-tolerance graphs (proper MPTG) where intervals associated to the vertices are not contained in each other properly. We present the first characterization theorem of this graph class by defining certain linear ordering on the vertex set. In course of this study we prove proper max-point-tolerance graphs are asteroidal triple free and perfect. We also find proper max-point-tolerance graphs are equivalent to unit max-point-tolerance graphs. Further we note that MPTG (proper MPTG) and max-tolerance graphs (proper max-tolerance graphs) are incomparable. In conclusion we demonstrate relations between proper MPTG with other variants of MPTG and max-tolerance graphs. |
