A normal Helly circular-arc graph is the intersection graph of arcs on a circle of which no three or less arcs cover the whole circle. Lin, Soulignac, and Szwarcfiter [Discrete Appl. Math. 2013] characterized circular-arc graphs that are not normal Helly circular-arc graphs, and used it to develop the first recognition algorithm for this graph class. As open problems, they ask for the forbidden induced subgraph characterization and a direct recognition algorithm for normal Helly circular-arc graphs, both of which are resolved by the current paper. Moreover, when the input is not a normal Helly circular-arc graph, our recognition algorithm finds in linear time a minimal forbidden induced subgraph as certificate.
