Indecomposable graphs

Partially critical indecomposable graphs

Given a graph G = (V, E), with each subset X of V is associated the subgraph G(X) of G induced by X. A subset I of V is an interval of G provided that for any a, b ∈ I and x ∈ V \ I , {a, x} ∈ E if and only if {b, x} ∈ E. For example, ∅, {x}, where x ∈ V , and V are intervals of G called trivial intervals. A graph is indecomposable if all its intervals are trivial; otherwise, it is decomposable...

Minimal indecomposable graphs

Let G=(V,E) be a graph, a subset X of V is an interval of G whenever for a, b E X and xE V X , (a,x)EE (resp. (x,a)EE) if and only if (b,x)EE (resp. (x,b)EE). For instance, 0, {x}, where x E V, and V are intervals of G, called trivial intervals. A graph G is then said to be indecomposable when all of its intervals are trivial. In the opposite case, we will say that G is decomposable. We now int...

Resolution of indecomposable integral flows on signed graphs

It is well-known that each nonnegative integral flow of a directed graph can be decomposed into a sum of nonnegative graph circuit flows, which cannot be further decomposed into nonnegative integral sub-flows. This is equivalent to saying that indecomposable flows of graphs are those graph circuit flows. Turning from graphs to signed graphs, the indecomposable flows are much richer than that of...
