1 Introduction
The book embedding problem is a well studied problem in graph theory due
to its numerous applications with early results dating back to early 1970s; see
e.g., [12]. The input in this problem is a graph G and the task is to find a linear
order of the vertices of G along a line , called the spine of the book, and an
assignment of the edges of G to different half-planes, called pages of the book,
delimited by the spine, such that no two edges of the same page cross; see Fig. 1a
for an illustration. The minimum number of pages that are required by any book
embedding of G is commonly referred to as its book thickness (but also as stack
number or page number ) and is denoted by bt(G).
For planar input graphs, the literature is really rich. The most notable result
is due to Yannakakis [26], who proved that the book thickness of a planar graph
is at most four. Better upper bounds are only known for restricted subclasses,
such as planar 3-trees [16] (which fit in books with three pages), subgraphs of

in which no two edges of the same color cross. (Color figure online)
planar Hamiltonian graphs [5], 4-connected planar graphs [22], planar graphs
without separating triangles [19], Halin graphs [10], bipartite planar graphs [14],
planar 2-trees [9], planar graphs of maximum degree 4 [3] (which fit in books
with two pages), and outerplanar graphs [5] (which fit in single-page books).
Note that, in general, the problem of testing, whether a maximal planar graph
has book thickness two, is equivalent to determining whether it is Hamiltonian,
and thus is NP-complete [25].
For non-planar graphs, the literature is significantly limited. It is known that
the book thickness of a complete n-vertex graph is Θ(n) [5], while all graphs
with subquadratic number of edges [21], subquadratic genus [20] or sublinear
treewidth [11] have sublinear book thickness. The book thickness is known to
be bounded, e.g., for bounded genus graphs [20] and, more generally, all minor-
closed graph families [6]. The reader is referred to [12] for a survey.
In this paper, we focus on dispersable book embeddings [5], in which addition-
ally no two edges of the same page share a common endvertex. The dispersable
book thickness of a graph G, denoted by dbt(G), is defined analogously to the
book thickness as the minimum number of pages required by any dispersable
book embedding of G. By definition dbt(G) ≥ Δ(G) holds, where Δ(G) is the
maximum degree of G. Finally, a graph G is called dispersable if and only if
dbt(G) = Δ(G); see Fig. 1a. Note that any book embedding with k pages can
be equivalently transformed into a circular embedding with a k-edge-coloring,
in which no two edges of the same color cross, and vice versa [5,16]. In the dis-
persable case, the graphs induced by the edges of the same color must addition-
ally be 1-regular; see Fig. 1b. The order in which the vertices appear in a circular
embedding with Δ(G) colors (or, equivalently on the spine of a dispersable book
embedding with Δ(G) pages), if any, is called dispersable order.
Dispersable book embeddings were first studied by Bernhart and Kainen [5],
who back in 1979 proved that the book thickness of the graph formed by the
Cartesian product of a dispersable bipartite graph B and an arbitrary graph
H is upper bounded by the degree of B plus the book thickness of H (that is,
bt(B × H) ≤ bt(H) + Δ(B)), and posed the following conjecture (see also [18]):
On Dispersable Book Embeddings 3
The Folkman graph [13] can be constructed in two steps starting from K5 as
follows. First, we replace every edge by a path of length two to obtain a bipartite
graph (see Fig. 2b). Then, we add for every vertex of the original K5 a copy with
the same neighborhood (see Fig. 2c). The resulting graph is the Folkman graph,
which is clearly 4-regular and bipartite. We refer to a vertex of the original K5
and to its copy as twin vertices. The remaining vertices of the Folkman, i.e., the
ones obtained from the paths, are referred to as connector vertices. We denote
the five pairs of twin vertices by A1 , A2 , B1 , B2 , C1 , C2 , D1 , D2 , E1 , E2 , and the
ten connector vertices by ab, ac, ad, ae, bc, bd, be, cd, ce, de; see Fig. 2c.
To prove that the dispersable book thickness of the Folkman graph is five, it
suffices to prove that its dispersable book thickness cannot be four, and that it
admits a dispersable book embedding with five pages. For the latter, refer to [1].
For the former, we will assume for a contradiction that the Folkman graph admits
a circular embedding with a 4-edge-coloring, in which (i) no two edges of the
same color cross, and (ii) the graphs induced by the edges of the same color are
1-regular. Since by Property (ii) adjacent edges must have different colors, we
name them “crossing” such that we can use Property (i) also for them. In the
drawings, we use red, green, blue, and orange to indicate the four colors of the
4 J. Md. Alam et al.
edges; black is used for an unknown (or not yet specified) color. For any subset of
at least three twin or connector vertices of the Folkman graph, say A1 , ab and B2 ,
we denote the clockwise order in which they appear along the boundary of the
circular embedding by (. . . A1 . . . ab . . . B2 . . . ). Every two vertices, say ab and A1 ,
form two intervals, [ab, A1 ] and [A1 , ab], in the clockwise order that correspond
to the two arcs on the circle.
Useful Lemmas: In the following, we investigate properties of a dispersable
book embedding with four pages of the Folkman graph. We start with a property
that was first observed by Overbay [23] and latter reproved by Hoske [17].
Lemma 1 (Overbay [23]). For any regular bipartite graph, the vertices from
both partitions are alternating in a dispersable order.
For the Folkman graph, Lemma 1 implies alternating twin and connector
vertices in a dispersable order. In the following, we adjust this implication.
Lemma 2. Let A1 , A2 be a pair of twins and [A1 , A2 ], [A2 , A1 ] be the two inter-
vals defined by them in a dispersable order. Then one of the following holds:
Proof Sketch. Assuming that there is an interval with three or four of A’s con-
nectors, or with only one A’s connector and some other connectors, we easily see
that there exist five pairwise crossing edges; a contradiction.
Denote the number of A’s connectors in [x, y] by δA (x, y). Lemma 2 defines
two possible configurations for a pair of twins, A1 and A2 . The first one, which we
call 1–3 configuration, is when δA (A1 , A2 ) = 1 and δA (A2 , A1 ) = 3, that is, the first
interval contains one connector and another interval contains three connectors.
In that case, the twins have to lie next to each other in the order (that is,
there are no other twins in between); we call such twins close. In the second
On Dispersable Book Embeddings 5
Proof. If ab ∈ [A2 , B1 ]∪[B2 , A1 ], then the lemma holds. Let w.l.o.g. ab ∈ [A1 , A2 ].
If A1 and A2 were far, then by Lemma 2 there would be a connector of A, say ax,
in [A1 , A2 ]. It follows that one of (A1 , ax), (A2 , ax) cannot be colored; see Fig. 3a.
Thus, ab is the only connector of A in [A1 , A2 ]. Hence, A1 and A2 are close twins.
Twins B1 and B2 define three sub-intervals on [A2 , A1 ]. If two of A’s connec-
tors, say ax and ay, belong to the left- or rightmost one, say w.l.o.g. the former,
then (A2 , ab), (A2 , ax), (A2 , ay), (B1 , ab) and (B2 , ab) pairwise cross (see Fig. 3b);
a contradiction. Finally, if two of A’s connectors, say ax and ay, are on the central
sub-interval, then by symmetry we may assume that the fourth of A’s connec-
tors, say az, belongs either to [A2 , B1 ] or to [B1 , B2 ]. In both cases, edge (B2 , ab)
crosses (A1 , ax), (A1 , ay) and (A1 , az), which implies that all must have different
colors; see Figs. 3c and d. Thus, (A1 , ab) needs a fifth color; a contradiction. We
conclude that each of the intervals contain one connector.

Let δ(C1 , A2 ) and δ(C2 , A1 ) be the number of twin vertices in [C1 , A2 ] and
[C2 , A1 ]. Clearly, δ(C1 , A2 ) + δ(C2 , A1 ) ≤ 4 holds. Since there exist two B’s con-
nectors in each of [C1 , A2 ] and [C2 , A1 ], there exist at least one twin vertex in
each of [C1 , A2 ] and [C2 , A1 ]. Thus, δ(C1 , A2 ), δ(C2 , A1 ) ≥ 1. Assume w.l.o.g. that
D1 is encountered first in [C1 , A2 ]. The first twin vertex in [C2 , A1 ] cannot be
D2 , as otherwise B1 , C1 , D1 , and B2 , C2 , D2 would form a non-zero crossing triple
containing C’s connectors. By symmetry, let E1 be the first twin vertex in [C2 , A1 ].
We claim that δ(C1 , A2 ), δ(C2 , A1 ) ≤ 2. For a contradiction, let δ(C1 , A2 ) = 3
(the case δ(C2 , A1 ) = 3 is symmetric). Then, [C1 , A2 ] contains D1 , D2 , E2 . If D2
precedes E2 in [C1 , A2 ], then E1 , A1 , B1 , and E2 , A2 , B2 form a non-zero crossing

[A1 , A2 ] is the union of [A1 , B1 ], [B1 , C1 ], [C1 , C2 ], [C2 , A2 ]. As in the last three there are
C’s connectors including ac ∈ [C1 , C2 ], the second A’s connector can be only in
[A1 , B1 ].
On Dispersable Book Embeddings 9
Proof. We argue that the dispersable book thickness of the Folkman graph is not
four. Let d[A1 , A2 ] be the number of twin vertices in [A1 , A2 ] including A1 and A2 ,
and let d(A) = min (d[A1 , A2 ], d[A2 , A1 ]). By Forbidden Pattern 1, d(A) = 3; by
Forbidden Patterns 2 and 3, d(A) = 4; by Forbidden Patterns 7 and 8, d(A) = 5.
As d(A) ∈ {2, 6}, any pair of twins is close or opposite in a dispersable order.
We argue that at most one pair of twins is opposite. Indeed, let A1 , A2 be one
opposite twin pair. By Forbidden Pattern 6, the twin vertices next to A1 and A2
cannot be opposite. This directly implies that all remaining twin pairs are close.
Figures 4d and e shows the remaining two cases, in which no or one pair of
twins is opposite. In the former case, by Lemma 2 there is an A’s connector, say
w.l.o.g. ab, in [A1 , A2 ]. Then, by Corollary 1, twins B1 , B2 must be far; a contra-
diction. For the latter case, let C1 , C2 be the pair of opposite twins. By Lemma 2
and Corollary 1, the connectors between the four close pairs can only be C’s con-
nectors. Hence, the order is (C2 x A1 ac A2 y B1 bc B2 z C1 u D1 cd D2 v E1 ce E2 w),
where x, y, z, u, v, w are the remaining connectors.
Applying Lemma 3 on A and C, we conclude that there exist A’s connectors in
both [A2 , C1 ] and [C2 , A1 ]. Thus, x is a connector of A. Similarly, we conclude that
z is B’s connector. Next observe that z = ab, as otherwise five edges, (ab, A1 ),
(ab, A2 ), (ab, B1 ), (bc, C2 ), (bc, C1 ), pairwise cross. Hence, y = ab. Symmetrically,
u is D’s connector, w is E’s connector, and v = de. So, bd is either z or u. Both
cases are impossible, as (D1 , bd) or (B2 , bd) would cross four C1 ’s edges.
In this section, we study the dispersable book thickness of the Gray graph [7],
which can be constructed in two steps starting from three copies of K3,3 . First,
we subdivide every edge. Then, for each newly introduced vertex u in the first
copy, with v and w being its counterparts in the other two copies, we add a new
vertex connected to u, v and w. The resulting graph is the Gray graph, which
is clearly 3-regular and bipartite; for an illustration refer to [1].
10 J. Md. Alam et al.
The Gray graph, which is 3-connected, 3-regular and bipartite, is not dispersable.
Since it contains K3,3 as minor, it is not planar. We next prove that when adding
planarity to the requirements, every such graph is dispersable. We refer to a 3-
connected 3-regular bipartite planar graph as Barnette graph for short (due to
Barnette’s Conjecture [2] which states that every such graph is Hamiltonian).
Lemma 5. Let G = (V, E) be a Barnette graph with its dual G∗ = (V ∗ , E ∗ ).
Then, there exists a 3-edge coloring Er Eg Eb = E for G, and a 3-vertex
coloring Vr∗ Vg∗ Vb∗ = V ∗ for G∗ so that: (i) Every facial cycle of G is
bichromatic, i.e., the edges on a facial cycle of G alternate between two colors.
(ii) Every face of G is colored differently from its bounding edges. (iii) The
edges of G∗ that connect vertices of Vg∗ to vertices of Vb∗ are in one-to-one
correspondence with the edges of Er , and induce a connected subgraph.
Proof. Since G is 3-regular and bipartite, G∗ is maximal planar and every vertex
has even degree. By the 3-color theorem, G∗ has chromatic number 3 [24], and
since it is maximal planar, G∗ is uniquely 3-colorable [8], i.e., it has a unique
3-vertex coloring up to permutation of the colors, say Vr∗ , Vg∗ and Vb∗ .
We first show (ii). Every edge e of G bounds two faces that are colored
differently in G∗ . Hence, we can assign to e the third color. Since every vertex v

edges belong to Tr (Nr ). Cycle Cq is drawn dotted black. (Color figure online)
respectively. Note that by Lemma 5.i and ii in the former case, the edges of q
alternate between red and green, while in the latter case between red and blue.
Assume first that q ∈ Vb∗ . We remove from Cp edge (u, v), which exists by
I.1 resulting in a path from u to v. Then, cycle Cq for Tp∗ ∪ {q} is obtained by
this path and the path from u to v in face q. Assume now that q ∈ Vg∗ . If q is a
leaf in T ∗ (i.e., the only edge incident to q that belongs to Tr is edge (u, v)), then
Cp is a (simple and plane) cycle also for Tp∗ ∪ {q}, which clearly satisfies I.1–I.5.
Let now q be w.l.o.g. not a leaf in T ∗ . Thus, there exist edges of q, different from
(u, v), that belong to Tr . Denote by w1 , . . . , w the endvertices of these edges as
they appear in a clockwise traversal of q starting from u. We remove from Cp
the edge (u, v), which exists by I.1. This results in a path from u to v. The cycle
Cq that is obtained by this path and the path u → w1 → . . . → w → v is a
cycle for Tp∗ ∪ {q}. We prove in [1] that in both cases I.1–I.5 hold.
The base of our recursive algorithm corresponds to the face ρ ∈ Vb∗ that is
the root of T ∗ , where we choose Cρ to be the facial cycle of ρ, which trivially
satisfies I.1–I.5. Once we have traversed T ∗ , we have computed a simple and
plane cycle C, which by I.2–I.4, satisfies i–iii of our theorem. We show that C
is a subhamiltonian cycle of G as follows. Since T ∗ is a spanning tree of G∗bg ,
every green edge of G bounds a face that is in T ∗ , and by I.4 we may assume
that both its endpoints are consecutive along C. As every vertex is incident to
a green edge, it follows that C is a subhamiltonian cycle of G.
Assigning the green edges to a third page yields then the desired result.
5 Conclusions
There is a number of interesting questions raised by our work. Does there exist
a non-dispersable bipartite graph for every k ≥ 5? Is it possible to provide an
upper bound on the dispersable book thickness of k-regular bipartite graphs
(e.g., k + 1)? We conjecture that all (not necessarily 3-connected) 3-regular
bipartite planar graphs are dispersable. Since Folkman and Gray graphs are not
vertex-transitive, we ask whether all vertex-transitive regular bipartite graphs
are dispersable.

Characterising AT-free Graphs with BFS
Jesse Beisegel(B)
Abstract. An asteroidal triple free graph is a graph such that for every
independent triple of vertices no path between any two avoids the third.
In a recent result from Corneil and Stacho, these graphs were charac-
terised through a linear vertex ordering called an AT-free order. Here,
we use techniques from abstract convex geometry to improve on this
result by giving a vertex order characterisation with stronger structural
properties and thus resolve an open question by Corneil and Stacho.
These orderings are generated by a modification of BFS which runs in
polynomial time. Furthermore, we give a linear time algorithm which
employs multiple applications of (L)BFS to compute AT-free orders in
claw-free AT-free graphs and a generalisation of these.
1 Introduction
In a classical paper of algorithmic graph theory by Lekkerkerker and Boland from
the early 1960s [17] the authors used a forbidden substructure called an asteroidal
triple to characterise interval graphs. An asteroidal triple is an independent triple
of vertices, such that for any two of them there is a path that avoids the third.
This definition gave rise to the introduction of the class of asteroidal triple free
graphs (AT-free graphs) and due to the fact that these graphs form a superclass
of both the interval and cocomparability graphs, there has been considerable
research interest for the last two decades.
AT-free graphs are widely believed to exhibit a “linear structure” [14] akin to
the interval graphs and two results in particular corroborate this claim: In [8]
it was shown that every AT-free graph contains a dominating pair, i.e., a pair
of vertices such that every path between them forms a dominating set for the
whole graph. This result was strengthened in the same paper [8] which char-
acterised AT-free graphs with the so-called spine property: A graph H has the
spine property, if for every non-adjacent dominating pair s and t there exists a
neighbour of t, say t , such that s and t are a dominating pair in the connected
component of H − t that contains s. As shown in [8], a graph G is an asteroidal
triple free graph if and only if every connected induced subgraph of G has the
spine property. This can be seen as a generalisation of the fact that the maximal
cliques of interval graphs form a chain.
An important algorithmic tool in the theory of interval graphs has been
their characterising linear vertex ordering, the interval order. This is a linear

Conjecture 1. [11] Let G = (V, E) be an AT-free graph. Then there exists a BFS
ordering τ = (v1 , . . . , vn ) that is an AT-free order.
We will prove an even stronger version of this conjecture, and show how
such an order can be used to wed the notion of an AT-free ordering to the
spine property. We will also give a polynomial time algorithm to compute such
an order that takes approximately the same time as the previous best known
algorithm to compute AT-free orders, i.e. O(nm) [11]. The best known algorithm
to recognise AT-free graphs uses fast matrix multiplication and takes O(n2.82 )
time [16] and it can be shown that recognition of AT-free graphs is at least as
hard as recognising graphs without an independent set of size three [20].
For the special case of claw-free AT-free graphs and a generalisation of these
we give linear time algorithms to compute AT-free (L)BFS orders. This is a sur-
prising result, as it was shown in [13] that the recognition of claw-free AT-free
graphs is at least as hard as triangle recognition. This dichotomy is of striking
resemblance to the case of comparability graphs, where a characterising linear
ordering in the form of a transitive orientation can be found in linear time, while
there is no known recognition algorithm that is faster than matrix multiplica-
tion [20]. Due to these facts, we conjecture that it is possible to compute AT-free
orderings in linear time in the general case using some form of modified breadth-
first-search. As is the case for comparability graphs, such a linear ordering might
then be used for linear time optimisation algorithms that are robust for AT-free

(Advertising for pupils in newspapers was not the usual rule
among Quaker masters in early Pennsylvania, though some
cases occurred. 345 advertisements from 1730 to 1790 have
been noted in various newspapers of the period. Of a list of
seventy Quakers who are known to have taught school, only 15
were found in the list of advertisers. The papers examined were
the Weekly Mercury, Pennsylvania Gazette, Freeman’s Journal,
Evening Post, Pennsylvania Journal and Weekly Advertiser, Pa.
Packet, and the Pa. Chronicle; also the Courrier Francais (which
