چکیده

Distance-hereditary graphs (sensu Howorka) are connected graphs in which all induced paths are isometric. Examples of such graphs are provided by complete multipartite graphs and ptolemaic graphs. Every finite distance-hereditary graph is obtained from K, by iterating the following two operations: adding pendant vertices and splitting vertices. Moreover, distance-hereditary graphs are characterized in terms of the distance function d, or via forbidden isometric subgraphs. t-1 1986

Centers and medians of distance-hereditary graphs

A graph is distance-hereditary if the distance between any two vertices in a connected induced subgraph is the same as in the original graph. In this paper, we study metric properties of distance-hereditary graphs. In particular, we determine the structures of centers and medians of distance-hereditary and related graphs. The relations between eccentricity, radius, and diameter of such graphs a...

Hamiltonian Cycle Problem on Distance-Hereditary Graphs

All graphs considered in this paper are finite and undirected, without loops or multiple edges. Let G = (V, E) be a graph. Throughout this paper, let m and n denote the numbers of edges and vertices of graph G, respectively. A connected graph is distance-hereditary if the distance between every two vertices in a connected induced subgraph is the same as that in the original graph. Distance-here...

(k, +)-Distance-Hereditary Graphs

In this work we introduce, characterize, and provide algorithmic results for (k, +)–distance-hereditary graphs, k ≥ 0. These graphs can be used to model interconnection networks with desirable connectivity properties; a network modeled as a (k, +)–distance-hereditary graph can be characterized as follows: if some nodes have failed, as long as two nodes remain connected, the distance between the...

Linear rank-width of distance-hereditary graphs II. Vertex-minor obstructions

In the companion paper [Linear rank-width of distance-hereditary graphs I. A polynomialtime algorithm, Algorithmica 78(1):342–377, 2017], we presented a characterization of the linear rank-width of distance-hereditary graphs, from which we derived an algorithm to compute it in polynomial time. In this paper, we investigate structural properties of distance-hereditary graphs based on this charac...

Weighted Connected Domination and Steiner Trees in Distance-Hereditary Graphs

Distance-hereditary graphs are graphs in which every two vertices have the same distance in every connected induced subgraph containing them. This paper studies distance-hereditary graphs from an algorithmic viewpoint. In particular, we present linear-time algorithms for finding a minimum weighted connected dominating set and a minimum vertex-weighted Steiner tree in a distance-hereditary graph...
