Abstract

Factor and fractional factor are widely used in many fields related to computer science. The isolated toughness of an incomplete graph G is defined as \(i\tau (G)=\min \{\frac{|S|}{i(G-S)}:S\in C(G), i(G-S)>1\}\). Otherwise, we set \(i\tau (G)=\infty \) if G is complete. This parameter has a close relationship with the existence of factors and fractional factors of graphs. In this paper, we pay our attention to computational complexity of isolated toughness, and present an optimal polynomial time algorithm to compute the isolated toughness for interval graphs, a subclass of co-comparability graphs.
