Well-Covered Claw-Free Graphs

چکیده
We prove the existence of a polynomial time algorithm to tell whether a graph, with no induced subgraph isomorphic to K1.3 , is well covered. A graph is wellcovered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same cardinality. The problem is known to be polynomialy solvable where the input graph is a line graph and it is NP-hard for the larger family of all graphs which do not contain an induced subgraph isomorphic to K1, 4 . 1996 Academic Press, Inc.

Weighted well-covered claw-free graphs
A graph G is well-covered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same cardinality. Assume that a weight function w is defined on its vertices. Then G is w-well-covered if all maximal independent sets are of the same weight. For every graph G, the set of weight functions w such that G is w-well-covered is a vector space. Given an input claw-free graph G, we present an O (
متن کاملOn cycles in intersection graphs of rings
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. We describe all $C_3$- and $C_4$-free intersection graph of non-trivial ideals of $R$ as well as $C_n$-free intersection graph when $R$ is a reduced ring. Also, we shall describe all complete, regular and $n$-claw-free intersection graphs. Finally, we shall prove that almost all Artin rings $R$ have Hamiltonian intersection graphs. ...
متن کاملThe Structure of Claw-Free Perfect Graphs
In 1988, Chvátal and Sbihi [4] proved a decomposition theorem for claw-free perfect graphs. They showed that claw-free perfect graphs either have a clique-cutset or come from two basic classes of graphs called elementary and peculiar graphs. In 1999, Maffray and Reed [6] successfully described how elementary graphs can be built using line-graphs of bipartite graphs using local augmentation. How...
متن کاملClaw-free circular-perfect graphs
The circular chromatic number of a graph is a well-studied refinement of the chromatic number. Circular-perfect graphs form a superclass of perfect graphs defined by means of this more general coloring concept. This paper studies claw-free circular-perfect graphs. First we prove that ifG is a connected claw-free circular-perfect graph with χ(G) > ω(G), then min{α(G), ω(G)} = 2. We use this resu...
متن کاملApproximating independence polynomials of claw-free graphs
Matchings in graphs correspond to independent sets in the corresponding line graphs. Line graphs are an important subclass of claw-free graphs. Hence studying independence polynomials of claw-free graphs is a natural extension of studying matching polynomials of graphs. We extend a result of Bayati et.al. showing a fully polynomial time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for computing the independenc...
متن کاملClosure, clique covering and degree conditions for Hamilton-connectedness in claw-free graphs
We strengthen the closure concept for Hamilton-connectedness in claw-free graphs, introduced by the second and fourth authors, such that the strong closure GM of a claw-free graph G is the line graph of a multigraph containing at most two triangles or at most one double edge. Using the concept of strong closure, we prove that a 3-connected claw-free graph G is Hamilton-connected if G satisfies ...
