A STRUCTURE THEOREM FOR THE CONSECUTIVE 1'S PROPERTY.

Abstract

A (0, 1)-matrix M has the consecutive 1's property for columns if the rows of M can be permuted so that the l's in each column appear consecutively. A graph-theoretic approach is used to characterize matrices with this property in terms of forbidden submatrices. Graphs whose adjacency matrix has this property are also characterized. (Author)
