Characterization by forbidden induced subgraphs of some subclasses of chordal graphs

چکیده
Chordal graphs are the graphs in which every cycle of length at least four has a chord. A set S is a vertex separator for vertices a and b if the removal of S of the graph separates a and b into distinct connected components. A graph G is chordal if and only if every minimal vertex separator is a clique. We study subclasses of chordal graphs defined by restrictions imposed on the intersections of its minimal separator cliques. Our goal is to characterize them by forbidden induced subgraphs. Some of these classes have already been studied such as chordal graphs in which two minimal separators have no empty intersection if and only if they are equal. Those graphs are known as strictly chordal graphs and they were first introduced as block duplicate graphs by Golumbic and Peled [5], they were also considered in [7] and [2], showing that strictly chordal graphs are exactly the (gem, dart)-free graphs. 0

On Self-complementary Chordal Graphs Defined by Single Forbidden Induced Subgraph
In this paper we deal with several subclasses of self complementary chordal graphs characterized by single forbidden induced subgraph namely Chairfree sc chordal graphs, H-free sc chordal graphs and Cross (star1, 1, 1, 2)-free sc chordal graphs. We obtain some results on these classes and an algorithm is proposed based on these results that recognize these classes. We also compile a catalogue o...
متن کاملObstructions to chordal circular-arc graphs of small independence number
A blocking quadruple (BQ) is a quadruple of vertices of a graph such that any two vertices of the quadruple either miss (have no neighbours on) some path connecting the remaining two vertices of the quadruple, or are connected by some path missed by the remaining two vertices. This is akin to the notion of asteroidal triple used in the classical characterization of interval graphs by Lekkerkerk...
متن کاملOn Chordal-k-Generalized Split Graphs
A graph G is a chordal-k-generalized split graph if G is chordal and there is a clique Q in G such that every connected component in G[V \ Q] has at most k vertices. Thus, chordal-1-generalized split graphs are exactly the split graphs. We characterize chordal-k-generalized split graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs. Moreover, we characterize a very special case of chordal-2-generalized split ...
متن کاملComplexity of Generalized Colourings of Chordal Graphs
The generalized graph colouring problem (GCOL) for a fixed integer k, and fixed classes of graphs P1, . . . ,Pk (usually describing some common graph properties), is to decide, for a given graph G, whether the vertex set of G can be partitioned into sets V1, . . . , Vk such that, for each i, the induced subgraph of G on Vi belongs to Pi. It can be seen that GCOL generalizes many natural colouri...
متن کاملGraph limits and hereditary properties
We collect some general results on graph limits associated to hereditary classes of graphs. As examples, we consider some classes defined by forbidden subgraphs and some classes of intersection graphs, including triangle-free graphs, chordal graphs, cographs, interval graphs, unit interval graphs, threshold graphs, and line graphs.
