چکیده

We introduced here an interesting tool for the structural study of chordal graphs, namely the Reduced Clique Graph. Using some of its combinatorial properties we show that for any chordal graph we can construct in linear time a simplicial elimination scheme starting with a pending maximal clique attached via a minimal separator maximal under inclusion among all minimal separators.

Chordal Digraphs

Chordal graphs, also called triangulated graphs, are important in algorithmic graph theory. In this paper we generalise the definition of chordal graphs to the class of directed graphs. Several structural properties of chordal graphs that are crucial for algorithmic applications carry over to the directed setting, including notions like simplicial vertices, perfect elimination orderings, and ch...

On economical set representations of graphs

In this paper we discuss the bounds of and relations among various kinds of intersection numbers of graphs. Especially, we address extremal graphs with respect to the established bounds. The uniqueness of the minimum-size intersection representations for some graphs is also studied. In the course of this work, we introduce a superclass of chordal graphs, defined in terms of a generalization of ...

A Dirac-type characterization of k-chordal graphs

Characterization of k-chordal graphs based on the existence of a simplicial path was shown in [Chvátal et al. Note: Dirac-type characterizations of graphs without long chordless cycles. Discrete Mathematics, 256, 445-448, 2002]. We give a characterization of k-chordal graphs which is a generalization of the known characterization of chordal graphs due to [G. A. Dirac. On rigid circuit graphs. A...

Computing Automorphism Groups of Chordal Graphs Whose Simplicial Components Are of Small Size

It is known that any chordal graph can be uniquely decomposed into simplicial components. Based on this fact, it is shown that for a given chordal graph, its automorphism group can be computed in O((c! · n)O(1)) time, where c denotes the maximum size of simplicial components and n denotes the number of nodes. It is also shown that isomorphism of those chordal graphs can be decided within the sa...
