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.

A n-vertex graph is said to be decomposable if for any partition (λ1, . . . , λp) of the integer n, there exists a sequence (V1, . . . , Vp) of connected vertex-disjoint subgraphs with |Vi| = λi. In this paper, we focus on decomposable trees. We show that a decomposable tree has degree at most 4. Moreover, each degree-4 vertex of a decomposable tree is adjacent to a leaf. This leads to a polyno...

A graph G of order n is called arbitrarily vertex decomposable if for each sequence (a1, . . . , ak) of positive integers such that a1+. . .+ak = n there exists a partition (V1, . . . , Vk) of the vertex set of G such that for each i ∈ {1, . . . , k}, Vi induces a connected subgraph of G on ai vertices. D. Barth and H. Fournier showed that if a tree T is arbitrarily vertex decomposable, then T ...
