Abstract

In this paper we consider the following problem. Given an undirected graph   G = (V,E)   and vertices   s1,t1;s2,t2, the problem is to determine whether or not   G   admits two edge-disjoint paths   P1 and   P2 connecting   s1 with   t1 and   s2 with   t2, respectively. We give a linear    (O(|V|+|E|))   algorithm to solve this problem on a permutation graph.

Keywords: algorithm, bridge, connectivity, disjoint paths, permutation graph.
