Clique coloring B1-EPG graphs

We consider the problem of clique coloring, that is, coloring the vertices of a given graph such that no (maximal) clique of size at least two is monocolored. It is known that interval graphs are 2-clique colorable. In this paper we prove that B1-EPG graphs (edge intersection graphs of paths on a gr...

Sumario:We consider the problem of clique coloring, that is, coloring the vertices of a given graph such that no (maximal) clique of size at least two is monocolored. It is known that interval graphs are 2-clique colorable. In this paper we prove that B1-EPG graphs (edge intersection graphs of paths on a grid, where each path has at most one bend) are 4-clique colorable. Moreover, given a B1-EPG representation of a graph, we provide a linear time algorithm that constructs a 4-clique coloring of it.
