چکیده

A graph is a quasi-line graph if for every vertex v, the set of neighbours of v is expressible as the union of two cliques. Such graphs are more general than line graphs, but less general than claw-free graphs. Here we give a construction for all quasi-line graphs; it turns out that there are basically two kinds of connected quasi-line graphs, one a generalization of line graphs, and the other a subclass of circular arc graphs.

On 3-connected hamiltonian line graphs

Thomassen conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian. It has been proved that every 4-connected line graph of a claw-free graph, or an almost claw-free graph, or a quasi-claw-free graph, is hamiltonian. In 1998, Ainouche et al. [2] introduced the class of DCT graphs, which properly contains both the almost claw-free graphs and the quasi-claw-free graphs. Recently, Broersma and...

Circular Ones Matrices and the Stable Set Polytope of Quasi- ine Graphs

It is a long standing open problem to find an explicit description of the stable set polytope of claw-free graphs. Yet more than 20 years after the discovery of a polynomial algorithm for the maximum stable set problem for claw-free graphs, there is even no conjecture at hand today. Such a conjecture exists for the class of quasi-line graphs. This class of graphs is a proper superclass of line ...

Webs and line graphs belong to the classes of quasi-line graphs and claw-free graphs

Graphs with circular symmetry, called webs, are relevant w.r.t. describing the stable set polytopes of two larger graph classes, quasi-line graphs [8,12] and claw-free graphs [7,8]. Providing a decent linear description of the stable set polytopes of claw-free graphs is a long-standing problem [9]. Ben Rebea conjectured a description for quasi-line graphs, see [12]; Chudnovsky and Seymour [2] v...
