On b-perfect chordal graphs

چکیده
The b-chromatic number of a graph G is the largest integer k such that G has a coloring of the vertices in k color classes such that every color class contains a vertex that has a neighbour in all other color classes. We characterize the class of chordal graphs for which the bchromatic number is equal to the chromatic number for every induced subgraph.

Counting the Number of Matchings in Chordal and Chordal Bipartite Graph Classes
We provide polynomial-time algorithms for counting the number of perfect matchings and the number of matchings in chain graphs, cochain graphs, and threshold graphs. These algorithms are based on newly developed subdivision schemes that we call a recursive decomposition. On the other hand, we show the #P-completeness for counting the number of perfect matchings in chordal graphs, split graphs a...
متن کاملCharacterization of Uniquely Colorable and Perfect Graphs
This paper studies the concepts of uniquely colorable graphs & Perfect graphs. The main results are 1) Every uniquely k-colorable graph is (k 1)-connected. 2) If G is a uniquely k-colorable graph, then (G) ≥ k l. 3) A maximal planar graph G of order 3 or more has chromatic number 3 if and only if G is Eulerian. 4) Every interval graph is perfect. 5) A graph G is chordal if and only if G can b...
متن کاملOn Roussel-Rubio-type lemmas and their consequences
Roussel and Rubio proved a lemma which is essential in the proof of the Strong Perfect Graph Theorem. We give a new short proof of the main case of this lemma. In this note, we also give a short proof of Hayward’s decomposition theorem for weakly chordal graphs, relying on a Roussel–Rubio-type lemma. We recall how Roussel–Rubio-type lemmas yield very short proofs of the existence of even pairs ...
متن کاملComplement of Special Chordal Graphs and Vertex Decomposability
In this paper, we introduce a subclass of chordal graphs which contains $d$-trees and show that their complement are vertex decomposable and so is shellable and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay.
متن کاملLexicographic Breadth First Search for Chordal Graphs
Applied to a chordal graph, lexicographic breadth rst search computes a perfect elimination scheme. We present a short elegant proof for this fact using only a new property of separators in chordal graphs.
