Authors

Abstract:

In this paper, we introduce a subclass of chordal graphs which contains $d$-trees and show that their complement are vertex decomposable and so is shellable and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay.

complement of special chordal graphs and vertex decomposability

in this paper, we introduce a subclass of chordal graphs which contains $d$-trees and show that their complement are vertex decomposable and so is shellable and sequentially cohen-macaulay.

Vertex partitions of chordal graphs

A k-tree is a chordal graph with no (k + 2)-clique. An l-treepartition of a graph G is a vertex partition of G into ‘bags’, such that contracting each bag to a single vertex gives an l-tree (after deleting loops and replacing parallel edges by a single edge). We prove that for all k ≥ l ≥ 0, every k-tree has an l-tree-partition in which every bag induces a connected ⌊k/(l + 1)⌋-tree. An analogo...

The vertex leafage of chordal graphs

Every chordal graph G can be represented as the intersection graph of a collection of subtrees of a host tree, a so-called tree model of G. The leafage l(G) of a connected chordal graph G is the minimum number of leaves of the host tree of a tree model of G and the vertex leafage vl(G) is the smallest number k such that there exists a tree model of G in which every subtree has at most k leaves....

Vertex Deletion Problems on Chordal Graphs

Containing many classic optimization problems, the family of vertex deletion problems has an important position in algorithm and complexity study. The celebrated result of Lewis and Yannakakis gives a complete dichotomy of their complexity. It however has nothing to say about the case when the input graph is also special. This paper initiates a systematic study of vertex deletion problems from ...

Subset feedback vertex sets in chordal graphs

Given a graph G = (V, E) and a set S ⊆ V , a set U ⊆ V is a subset feedback vertex set of (G, S ) if no cycle in G[V \ U] contains a vertex of S . The Subset Feedback Vertex Set problem takes as input G, S , and an integer k, and the question is whether (G, S ) has a subset feedback vertex set of cardinality or weight at most k. Both the weighted and the unweighted versions of this problem are ...

Reconfiguration graphs for vertex colourings of chordal and chordal bipartite graphs

A k-colouring of a graph G = (V,E) is a mapping c : V → {1, 2, . . . , k} such that c(u) 6= c(v) whenever uv is an edge. The reconfiguration graph of the k-colourings of G contains as its vertex set the k-colourings of G, and two colourings are joined by an edge if they differ in colour on just one vertex of G. We introduce a class of k-colourable graphs, which we call k-colour-dense graphs. We...
