17 comparability co-comparability permutation Let E tr be a transitive orientation of G and F tr a transitive orientation of its complement. Lemma E tr F tr induces a total ordering π (E tr F tr ) on the vertex set. rev(e tr ) F tr induces another total ordering π (rev(e tr ) F tr ). 0/

18 A realizer of G Permutations π (E tr F tr ) and π (rev(e tr ) F tr ) form a realizer of G. Segments x and y intersect iff (xy) E tr and (yx) rev(e tr ) or vice-versa ; equivalently, iff xy E. /

19 Modules and common intervals Substituting a segment (vertex) by the realizer of a permutation graph (module) produces a new permutation graph. A common interval of π and π forms a module in G Strong modules correspond exactly to strong common intervals [de Mongolfier 00] A graph is a permutation graphs iff all prime nodes in the modular decomposition are permutation graphs. /
