Special asteroidal quadruple on directed path graph non rooted path graph

چکیده
An asteroidal triple in a graph G is a set of three nonadjacent vertices such that for any two of them there exists a path between them that does not intersect the neighborhood of the third. Special asteroidal triple in a graph G is an asteroidal triple such that each pair is linked by a special connection. A special asteroidal triples play a central role in a characterization of directed path graphs by Cameron, Hoáng and Lévêque [2]. They also introduce a related notion of asteroidal quadruple and conjecture a characterization of rooted path graphs [1]. In its original form this conjecture is not complete, still in leafage four, as was showed in [3]. But, as suggested by the conjecture, a characterization by forbidding particular types of asteroidal quadruples may hold. We prove that the conjecture in the original form is true on directed path graphs with leafage four having two minimal separators with multiplicity two. Thus we build the family of forbidden subgraphs in this case.

A directed path graph is the intersection graph of a family of directed subpaths of a directed tree. A rooted path graph is the intersection graph of a family of directed subpaths of a rooted tree. Rooted path graphs are directed path graphs. Several characterizations are known for directed path graphs: one by forbidden induced subgraphs and one by forbidden asteroids. It is an open problem to ...
