Clique-width and edge contraction
We prove that edge contractions do not preserve the property that a set of graphs has bounded clique-width.
متن کاملEdge contraction and edge removal on iterated clique graphs
The clique graph K(G) of a graph G is the intersection graph of all its (maximal) cliques. We explore the effect of operations like edge contraction, edge removal and others on the dynamical behaviour of a graph under the iteration of the clique operator K. As a consequence of this study, we can now prove the clique divergence of graphs for which no previously known technique would yield the re...
متن کاملOn the Complete Width and Edge Clique Cover Problems
A complete graph is the graph in which every two vertices are adjacent. For a graph G = (V,E), the complete width of G is the minimum k such that there exist k independent sets Ni ⊆ V , 1 ≤ i ≤ k, such that the graph G obtained from G by adding some new edges between certain vertices inside the sets Ni, 1 ≤ i ≤ k, is a complete graph. The complete width problem is to decide whether the complete...
متن کاملApproximating clique-width and branch-width
We construct a polynomial-time algorithm to approximate the branch-width of certain symmetric submodular functions, and give two applications. The first is to graph “clique-width”. Clique-width is a measure of the difficulty of decomposing a graph in a kind of tree-structure, and if a graph has clique-width at most k then the corresponding decomposition of the graph is called a “k-expression”. ...
متن کاملMulti-Clique-Width
Multi-clique-width is obtained by a simple modification in the definition of cliquewidth. It has the advantage of providing a natural extension of tree-width. Unlike clique-width, it does not explode exponentially compared to tree-width. Efficient algorithms based on multi-clique-width are still possible for interesting tasks like computing the independent set polynomial or testing c-colorabili...
