چکیده

A graph is called equistable when there is a non-negative weight function on its vertices such that a set S of vertices has total weight 1 if and only if S is maximal stable. We characterize those series-parallel graphs that are equistable, generalizing results of Mahadev, Peled and Sun about equistable outer-planar graphs.

Structural Results for Equistable Graphs and Related Graph Classes

The class of equistable graphs is defined by the existence of a weight structure on the vertices where maximal stable sets are characterized by their weights. This class, not contained in any nontrivial hereditary class, has been studied both from a structural and an algorithmic point of view, however no combinatorial characterization is known for these graphs. We present some structural result...

Equistable Chordal Graphs

A graph is called equistable when there is a non-negative weight function on its vertices such that a set S of vertices has total weight 1 if and only if S is maximal stable. We show that a chordal graphs is equistable if and only if every two adjacent non-simplicial vertices have a common simplicial neighbor.

Equistarable graphs and counterexamples to three conjectures on equistable graphs

Equistable graphs are graphs admitting positive weights on vertices such that a subset of vertices is a maximal stable set if and only if it is of total weight 1. In 1994, Mahadev et al. introduced a subclass of equistable graphs, called strongly equistable graphs, as graphs such that for every c ≤ 1 and every non-empty subset T of vertices that is not a maximal stable set, there exist positive...

Recognizing k-equistable Graphs in FPT Time

A graph G = (V,E) is called equistable if there exist a positive integer t and a weight function w : V → N such that S ⊆ V is a maximal stable set of G if and only if w(S) = t. Such a function w is called an equistable function of G. For a positive integer k, a graph G = (V,E) is said to be k-equistable if it admits an equistable function which is bounded by k. We prove that the problem of reco...

Equistable distance-hereditary graphs

A graph is called equistable when there is a nonnegative weight function on its vertices such that a set S of vertices has total weight 1 if and only if S is maximal stable. We show that a necessary condition for a graph to be equistable is sufficient when the graph in question is distance-hereditary. This is used to design a polynomial-time recognition algorithm for equistable distanceheredita...
