A cograph is a graph which does not contain any induced path on four vertices. In this paper, we characterize those cographs that are intersection graphs of paths on a grid in the following two cases: (i) the paths on the grid all have at most one bend and the intersections concern edges (→ B1-EPG); (ii) the paths on the grid are not bended and the intersections concern vertices (→ B0-VPG). In both cases,wegive a characterization by a family of forbidden induced subgraphs.We further present linear- time algorithms to recognize B1-EPG cographs and B0-VPG cographs using their cotree.
