Minimal Split Completions of Graphs

چکیده
We study the problem of adding edges to a given arbitrary graph so that the resulting graph is a split graph, called a split completion of the input graph. Our purpose is to add an inclusion minimal set of edges to obtain a minimal split completion, which means that no proper subset of the added edges is sufficient to create a split completion. Minimal completions of arbitrary graphs into chordal graphs have been studied previously, and new results have been added continuously. There is an increasing interest in minimal completion problems, and minimal completions of arbitrary graphs into interval graphs have been studied very recently. We extend these previous results to split graphs, and we give a characterization of minimal split completions, along with a linear time algorithm for computing a minimal split completion of an arbitrary input graph. Among our results is a new way of partitioning the vertices of a split graph uniquely into three subsets.

متن کاملMinimal comparability completions
We study the problem of adding edges to a given arbitrary graph so that the resulting graph is a comparability graph, called a comparability completion of the input graph. Computing a comparability completion with the minimum possible number of added edges is an NP-hard problem. Our purpose here is to add an inclusion minimal set of edges to obtain a minimal comparability completion, which mean...
متن کاملSingle-Edge Monotonic Sequences of Graphs and Linear-Time Algorithms for Minimal Completions and Deletions
We study graph properties that admit an increasing, or equivalently decreasing, sequence of graphs on the same vertex set such that for any two consecutive graphs in the sequence their difference is a single edge. This is useful for characterizing and computing minimal completions and deletions of arbitrary graphs into having these properties. We prove that threshold graphs and chain graphs adm...
متن کاملStrongly Chordal and Chordal Bipartite Graphs Are Sandwich Monotone
A graph class is sandwich monotone if, for every pair of its graphs G1 = (V,E1) and G2 = (V,E2) with E1 ⊂ E2, there is an ordering e1, . . . , ek of the edges in E2 \E1 such that G = (V,E1 ∪ {e1, . . . , ei}) belongs to the class for every i between 1 and k. In this paper we show that strongly chordal graphs and chordal bipartite graphs are sandwich monotone, answering an open question by Bakon...
متن کاملMatrix Partitions of Split Graphs
Matrix partition problems generalize a number of natural graph partition problems, and have been studied for several standard graph classes. We prove that each matrix partition problem has only finitely many minimal obstructions for split graphs. Previously such a result was only known for the class of cographs. (In particular, there are matrix partition problems which have infinitely many mini...
