IntervalGraph(c) returns an interval graph for the collection of intervals C.

Each element of the input C must be a range or a RealRange expression. A range a..b is interpreted as the closed real interval from a to b. To specify open or half-open intervals, you can use RealRange.

The vertices of the resulting graph correspond to the intervals given in C. An edge between vertices exists if the corresponding intervals have non-empty intersection.

IsIntervalGraph(G) tests whether the graph G could be expressed as an interval graph for some collection of intervals.

An interval graph is the intersection graph of a set of intervals on the real line. For any vertices $i$, $j$ in the graph, an edge between $i$ and $j$ exists if and only if the intervals $i$ and $j$ have non-empty intersection.
