English abstract:
A unit disk intersection representation (UDR) of a graph G
represents each vertex of G as a unit disk in the plane, such that two
disks intersect if and only if their vertices are adjacent in G. A UDR with
interior-disjoint disks is called a unit disk contact representation (UDC).
We prove that it is NP-hard to decide if an outerplanar graph or an
embedded tree admits a UDR. We further provide a linear-time decidable
characterization of caterpillar graphs that admit a UDR. Finally we show
that it can be decided in linear time if a lobster graph admits a weak
UDC, which permits intersections between disks of non-adjacent vertices.
