A graph is balanced if its clique-matrix contains no edge–vertex incidence matrix of an odd chordless cycle as a submatrix. While a forbidden induced subgraph characterization of balanced graphs is known, there is no such ...

Iterated clique graphs arise when the clique operator is applied to a graph more than once. Determining whether a graph is a clique graph or an iterated clique graph is usually a difficult task. The fact that being a clique ...

A graph is clique-perfect if the maximum number of pairwise disjoint maximal cliques equals the minimum number of vertices intersecting all maximal cliques for each induced subgraph. In this work, we give necessary and ...

In this paper, we characterize the equistable graphs within the class of EPT graphs, the edge-intersection graphs of paths in a tree. This result generalizes a previously known characterization of equistable line graphs. ...

The aim of this paper is to study the Lovász-Schrijver PSD operator N+ applied to the edge relaxation of the stable set polytope of a graph. We are particularly interested in the problem of characterizing graphs for which ...

A graph is clique-perfect if the maximum number of pairwise disjoint maximal cliques equals the minimum number of vertices intersecting all maximal cliques for each induced subgraph. In this work, we give necessary and ...

Given integers m1,…,mℓ, the weighted clique graph of G is the clique graph K(G), in which there is a weight assigned to each complete set S of size mi of K(G), for each i=1,…,ℓ. This weight equals the cardinality of the ...

A graph is balanced if its clique-vertex incidence matrix is balanced, i.e., it does not contain a square submatrix of odd order with exactly two ones per row and per column. Interval graphs, obtained as intersection graphs ...

Importance of nodes and tie strength are necessary elements to characterize and analyze networks, as well as to study the processes that occur in their interior. We believe that it is also necessary to know the importance ...
