IntervalGraph( c )

Parameters

c

-

a list, Vector, or 1-D Array of intervals

Description

• 

The IntervalGraph( c ) command 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.

• 

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 intersect.

Examples

Compute the interval graph for {1..3, 2..4, 3..5}.

The following interval graph has only edge because the intervals 0..1 and 1..2 intersect at 1, but the half-open interval −1,0 does not intersect 0..1.

IntervalGraph( [ RealRange(-1,Open(0)), 0..1, 1..2 ] );
