RESUMO

A PI-representation consists of two parallellines, r and s, and triangles with one vertex on r and the other two on s. Let R be a PI-representation. The intersection graph of R is called PI graph when each vertex in the graph corresponds to a triangle in R and there exists an edge between two vertices if and only if their corresponding triangles intersect. According to the book Graph Classes - a Survey (1999) [3], by Brandstiidt, Le and Spinrad, the PI graph characterization and recognition problems are still open. This is the main motivation for the study of the PI graph class. In this dissertation, we present a study of PI graphs based on their relationship with other graph classes such as the interval and permutation graphs, which are well known intersection graph classes, and trapezoid graphs, which have a very similar structure to that of PI graphs. This dissertation is a survey on existing work on the PI graph class and presents new necessary andj or sufficient conditions for a graph to be PI
