APUD(1,1) Recognition in Polynomial Time

Abstract

A unit disk graph is the intersection graph of a set of disk of unit radius in the Euclidean plane. In 1998, Breu and Kirkpatrick showed that the recognition problem for unit disk graphs is NP-hard. Given $k$ horizontal and $m$ vertical lines, an APUD($k,m$) is a unit disk graph such that each unit disk is centered either on a given horizontal or vertical line. Çağırıcı showed in 2020 that APUD($k,m$) recognition is NP-hard. In this paper, we show that APUD($1,1$) recognition is polynomial time solvable.
