A Simple Linear-Time Recognition Algorithm for Weakly Quasi-Threshold Graphs

چکیده
Weakly quasi-threshold graphs form a proper subclass of the well-known class of cographs by restricting the join operation. In this paper we characterize weakly quasi-threshold graphs by a finite set of forbidden subgraphs: the class of weakly quasi-threshold graphs coincides with the class of {P4, co-(2P3)}-free graphs. Moreover we give the first linear-time algorithm to decide whether a given graph belongs to the class of weakly quasi-threshold graphs, improving the previously known running time. Based on the simplicity of our recognition algorithm, we can provide certificates of membership (a structure that characterizes weakly quasi-threshold graphs) or nonmembership (forbidden induced subgraphs) in additional O(n) time. Furthermore we give a linear-time algorithm for finding the largest induced weakly quasi-threshold subgraph in a cograph.

Fast Quasi-Threshold Editing
We introduce Quasi-Threshold Mover (QTM), an algorithm to solve the quasi-threshold (also called trivially perfect) graph editing problem with a minimum number of edge insertions and deletions. Given a graph it computes a quasi-threshold graph which is close in terms of edit count, but not necessarily closest as this edit problem is NP-hard. We present an extensive experimental study, in which ...
متن کاملLaplacian Spectrum of Weakly Quasi-threshold Graphs
In this paper we study the class of weakly quasi-threshold graphs that are obtained from a vertex by recursively applying the operations (i) adding a new isolated vertex, (ii) adding a new vertex and making it adjacent to all old vertices, (iii) disjoint union of two old graphs, and (iv) adding a new vertex and making it adjacent to all neighbours of an old vertex. This class contains the class...
متن کاملFast Recognition of Partial Star Products and Quasi Cartesian Products
This paper is concerned with the fast computation of a relation d on the edge set of connected graphs that plays a decisive role in the recognition of approximate Cartesian products, the weak reconstruction of Cartesian products, and the recognition of Cartesian graph bundles with a triangle free basis. A special case of d is the relation δ, whose convex closure yields the product relation σ th...
متن کاملA note on module-composed graphs
In this paper we consider module-composed graphs, i.e. graphs which can be defined by a sequence of single vertex insertions v1, . . . , vn, such that the neighbourhood of vertex vi, 2 ≤ i ≤ n, forms a module (a homogenous set) of the graph defined by vertices v1, . . . , vi−1. Module composed graphs are HHDS-free and thus homogeneous orderable, weakly chordal, and perfect. Every bipartite dist...
متن کاملFast and Simple Algorithms for Recognizing Chordal Comparability Graphs and Interval Graphs
In this paper, we present a linear-time algorithm for substitution decomposition on chordal graphs. Based on this result, we develop a linear-time algorithm for transitive orientation on chordal comparability graphs, which reduces the complexity of chordal comparability recognition from O(n) to O(n+m). We also devise a simple linear-time algorithm for interval graph recognition where no complic...
