Matrix partition problems generalize a number of natural graph partition problems, and have been studied for several standard graph classes. We prove that each matrix partition problem has only finitely many minimal obstructions for split graphs. Previously such a result was only known for the class of cographs. (In particular, there are matrix partition problems which have infinitely many mini...

A set of vertices in a graph is c-colorable if the subgraph induced by the set has a proper c-coloring. In this paper, we study the problem of finding a step-by-step transformation (reconfiguration) between two c-colorable sets in the same graph. This problem generalizes the well-studied Independent Set Reconfiguration problem. As the first step toward a systematic understanding of the complexi...

In this paper, we are interested in the enumeration of minimal dominating sets in graphs. A polynomial delay algorithm with polynomial space in split graphs is presented. We then introduce a notion of maximal extension (a set of edges added to the graph) that keeps invariant the set of minimal dominating sets, and show that graphs with extensions as split graphs are exactly the ones having chor...

We generalize the class of split graphs to the directed case and show that these split digraphs can be identified from their degree sequences. The first degree sequence characterization is an extension of the concept of splittance to directed graphs, while the second characterization says a digraph is split if and only if its degree sequence satisfies one of the Fulkerson inequalities (which de...

For a family F of graphs and a nonnegative integer k, F + ke and F − ke, respectively, denote the families of graphs that can be obtained from F graphs by adding and deleting at most k edges, and F + kv denotes the family of graphs that can be made into F graphs by deleting at most k vertices. This paper is mainly concerned with the parameterized complexity of the vertex colouring problem on F ...
