Abstract

We investigate the class of intersection graphs of paths on a grid (VPG graphs), and specifically the relationship between the bending number of a cocomparability graph and the poset dimension of its complement. We show that the bending number of a cocomparability graph G is at most the poset dimension of the complement of G minus one. Then, via Ramsey type arguments, we show our upper bound is best possible.
