k-trees are I special class of perfect elimination grap% which arise in the study of sparse linear systems. We present four simple ch,&r.xterizations of k-trees involving cliques, paths, and separators.

✦ Synopsis
The purpose of this note is to give a local criterion for a graph to be a k-tree. We show that a connected graph with the right number of edges is a k-tree if and only if the neighbourhood of each vertex is a (k -l)-tree.

We first give a one-pass algorithm for finding the core of a tree. This algorithm is a refinement of the two-pass algorithm of Morgan and Slater. We then define a generalization of a core which we call a \(k\)-tree core. Given a tree \(T\) and parameter \(k\), a \(k\)-tree core is a subtree \(T^{\pr
