A class of graphs $\mathcal{C}$ is closed under powers if for every graph $G\in\mathcal{C}$ and every $k\in\mathbb{N}$, $G^k\in\mathcal{C}$. Also $\mathcal{C}$ is strongly closed under powers if for every $k\in\mathbb{N}$, if $G^k\in\mathcal{C}$, then $G^{k+1}\in\mathcal{C}$. It is known that circular arc graphs and proper circular arc graphs are closed under powers. But it is open whether these classes of graphs are also strongly closed under powers. In this paper we have settled these problems.

In this article, we present two new characterizations of circular-arc bigraphs based on their vertex ordering. Also, we provide a characterization of circular-arc bigraphs in terms of forbidden patterns with respect to a particular ordering of their vertices.
