Clique separator decomposition of hole-free and diamond-free graphs and algorithmic consequences
2012
Discrete Applied Mathematics
Clique separator decomposition, introduced by Whitesides and Tarjan, is one of the most important graph decompositions. A hole is a chordless cycle with at least five vertices. A paraglider is a graph with five vertices a, b, c, d, e and edges ab, ac, bc, bd, cd, ae, de. We show that every (hole, paraglider)-free graph admits a clique separator decomposition into graphs of three very specific types. This yields efficient algorithms for various optimization problems in this class of graphs.
