The Dilworth Number of Auto-Chordal-Bipartite Graphs

چکیده
The mirror (or bipartite complement) mir(B) of a bipartite graph B = (X,Y,E) has the same color classes X and Y as B, and two vertices x ∈ X and y ∈ Y are adjacent in mir(B) if and only if xy / ∈ E. A bipartite graph is chordal bipartite if none of its induced subgraphs is a chordless cycle with at least six vertices. In this paper, we deal with chordal bipartite graphs whose mirror is chordal bipartite as well; we call these graphs auto-chordal bipartite graphs (ACB graphs for short). We describe the relationship to some known graph classes such as interval and strongly chordal graphs and we present several characterizations of ACB graphs. We show that ACB graphs have unbounded Dilworth number, and we characterize ACB graphs with Dilworth number k.

Bounding cochordal cover number of graphs via vertex stretching
It is shown that when a special vertex stretching is applied to a graph, the cochordal cover number of the graph increases exactly by one, as it happens to its induced matching number and (Castelnuovo-Mumford) regularity. As a consequence, it is shown that the induced matching number and cochordal cover number of a special vertex stretching of a graph G are equal provided G is well-covered bipa...
متن کاملOn factorial properties of chordal bipartite graphs
For a graph property X, let Xn be the number of graphs with vertex set {1, . . . , n} having property X, also known as the speed of X. A property X is called factorial if X is hereditary (i.e. closed under taking induced subgraphs) and n1 ≤ Xn ≤ n2 for some positive constants c1 and c2. Hereditary properties with the speed slower than factorial are surprisingly well structured. The situation wi...
متن کاملCounting the Number of Matchings in Chordal and Chordal Bipartite Graph Classes
We provide polynomial-time algorithms for counting the number of perfect matchings and the number of matchings in chain graphs, cochain graphs, and threshold graphs. These algorithms are based on newly developed subdivision schemes that we call a recursive decomposition. On the other hand, we show the #P-completeness for counting the number of perfect matchings in chordal graphs, split graphs a...
متن کاملBandwidth of Convex Bipartite Graphs and Related Graphs
It is known that the bandwidth problem is NP-complete for chordal bipartite graphs, while the problem can be solved in polynomial time for bipartite permutation graphs, which is a subclass of chordal bipartite graphs. This paper shows that the problem is NP-complete even for convex bipartite graphs, a subclass of chordal bipartite graphs and a superclass of bipartite permutation graphs. We prov...
متن کاملBichain graphs: Geometric model and universal graphs
Bichain graphs form a bipartite analog of split permutation graphs, also known as split graphs of Dilworth number 2. Unlike graphs of Dilworth number 1 that enjoy many nice properties, split permutation graphs are substantially more complex. To better understand the global structure of split permutation graphs, in the present paper we study their bipartite analog. We show that bichain graphs ad...
