چکیده

We provide a general method to prove the existence and compute efficiently elimination orderings in graphs. Our method relies on several tools that were known before, but that were not put together so far: the algorithm LexBFS due to Rose, Tarjan and Lueker, one of its properties discovered by Berry and Bordat, and a local decomposition property of graphs discovered by Maffray, Trotignon and Vušković.

Elimination schemes and lattices

Perfect vertex elimination schemes are part of the characterizations for several classes of graphs, including chordal and cop-win. Partial elimination schemes reduce a graph to an important subgraph, for example, k-cores and robber-win graphs. We are interested in those partial elimination schemes, in which once a vertex can be eliminated it is always ready to be eliminated. In such a scheme, t...

LexBFS-orderings of Distance-hereditary Graphs with Application to the Diametral Pair Problem

For an undirected graph G the kth power G of G is the graph with the same vertex set as G where two vertices are adjacent i their distance is at most k in G. In this paper we prove that every LexBFS-ordering of a distance-hereditary graph is both a common perfect elimination ordering of all even powers and a common semi-simplicial ordering of all powers of this graph. Moreover, we characterize ...

A characterization of signed graphs with generalized perfect elimination orderings

An important property of chordal graphs is that these graphs are characterized by existence of perfect elimination orderings on their vertex sets. In this paper, we generalize the notion of perfect elimination orderings to signed graphs, and give a characterization for graphs admitting such orderings, together with characterizations restricted to some subclasses and further properties of those ...

A Characterization of Edge-Bicolored Graphs with Generalized Perfect Elimination Orderings

An important property of chordal graphs is that these graphs are characterized by existence of perfect elimination orderings on their vertex sets. In this paper, we generalize the notion of perfect elimination orderings to graphs with edge-colorings by two colors, and give an excluded-subgraph characterization for graphs with such orderings. As an application, we announce some forthcoming resul...

Perfect elimination orderings for symmetric matrices

We introduce a new class of structured symmetric matrices by extending the notion of perfect elimination ordering from graphs to weighted graphs or matrices. This offers a common framework capturing common vertex elimination orderings of monotone families of chordal graphs, Robinsonian matrices and ultrametrics. We give a structural characterization for matrices that admit perfect elimination o...
