Abstract

In this chapter, we address the question: given a graph, does it have a trilateration order? And if so, is it contiguous? Unlike the DGP, which is not known to be in NP, these order existence problems are both in NP: if a graph is a YES instance, a suitable vertex order can be verified to be correct in polytime, by simply checking that it has enough adjacent predecessors.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Formally, this is the same as the order called DVOP in [76, 84].

  2. 2.

    This distance is given by the length of the path.

  3. 3.

    In [22], the TOP is called DDGPO and the CTOP is called \(^K\!\)DMDGPO.
