Polarity and Monopolarity of $3$-colourable comparability graphs

چکیده

We sharpen the result that polarity and monopolarity are NP-complete problems by showing that they remain NP-complete if the input graph is restricted to be a 3-colourable comparability graph. We start by presenting a construction reducing 1-3-SAT to monopolarity of 3-colourable comparability graphs. Then we show that polarity is at least as hard as monopolarity for input graphs restricted to a fixed disjoint-union-closed class. We conclude the paper by stating that both polarity and monopolarity of 3-colourable comparability graphs are NPcomplete problems.

Polarity of chordal graphs

Polar graphs are a common generalization of bipartite, cobipartite, and split graphs. They are defined by the existence of a certain partition of vertices, which is NPcomplete to decide for general graphs. It has been recently proved that for cographs, the existence of such a partition can be characterized by finitely many forbidden subgraphs, and hence tested in polynomial time. In this paper ...

Recognizing Polar Planar Graphs Using New Results for Monopolarity

Polar and monopolar graphs are natural generalizations of bipartite or split graphs. A graph G = (V,E) is polar if its vertex set admits a partition V = A∪B such thatA induces a complete multipartite and B the complement of a complete multipartite graph. If A is even a stable set then G is called monopolar. Recognizing general polar or monopolar graphs is NP-complete and, as yet, efficient reco...

Wiener Polarity Index of Tensor Product of Graphs

Mathematical chemistry is a branch of theoretical chemistry for discussion and prediction of the molecular structure using mathematical methods without necessarily referring to quantum mechanics. In theoretical chemistry, distance-based molecular structure descriptors are used for modeling physical, pharmacologic, biological and other properties of chemical compounds. The Wiener Polarity index ...

(Delta-k)-critical graphs

Every graphG of maximum degree is ( +1)-colourable and a classical theorem of Brooks states that G is not -colourable iff G has a ( + 1)-clique or = 2 and G has an odd cycle. Reed extended Brooks’ Theorem by showing that if (G) 1014 then G is not ( − 1)-colourable iff G contains a -clique. We extend Reed’s characterization of ( − 1)-colourable graphs and characterize ( − 2), ( −3), ( −4) and ( ...

Claw-free graphs. I. Orientable prismatic graphs

A graph is prismatic if for every triangle T , every vertex not in T has exactly one neighbour in T . In this paper and the next in this series, we prove a structure theorem describing all prismatic graphs. This breaks into two cases depending whether the graph is 3-colourable or not, and in this paper we handle the 3-colourable case. (Indeed we handle a slight generalization of being 3-coloura...
