Chordal bipartite graphs are bipartite graphs that do not contain an induced cycle of length greater than 4. It was conjectured by Otachi, Okamoto and Yamazaki that chordal bipartite graphs have boxicity at most 2. We disprove this conjecture by exhibiting an infinite family of chordal bipartite graphs that have unbounded boxicity.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-06-04T05:54:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C62" ], "keywords": [ "chordal bipartite graphs", "high boxicity", "axis-parallel k-dimensional boxes", "minimum integer", "intersection graph" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0906.0541C" } } }
