Interval graphs are intersection graphs of closed intervals and circle graphs are intersection graphs of chords of a circle. We study automorphism groups of these graphs.
We show that interval graphs have the same automorphism groups as trees, and circle graphs have the same as pseudoforests, which are graphs with at most one cycle in every connected component. Our technique determines automorphism groups for classes with a strong structure of all geometric representations, and it can be applied to other graph classes.
Our results imply polynomial-time algorithms for computing automorphism groups in term of group products.
