โฆ Synopsis
The n-component graph of a graph G is the intersection graph having a point corresponding to each n-component of G and a line joining two points whenever the corresponding n-components of G share at least one point. We give a characterization of graphs which are n-component graphs of some graph, thus generalizing a theorem of .

A connected undirected graph G is called a Seymour graph if the maximum number of edge disjoint T -cuts is equal to the cardinality of a minimum T -join for every even subset T of V (G). Several families of graphs have been shown to be subfamilies of Seymour graphs (Seymour
A connected graph G is ptolernaic provided that for each four vertices u,, 1 5 i 5 4, of G, the six distances d, =dG (u,ui), i f j satisfy the inequality d,2d34 5 d,3d24 + d,4d23 (shown by Ptolemy t o hold in Euclidean spaces). Ptolemaic graphs were first investigated by Chartrand and Kay, who showe
Chartrand and Harary have shown that if G is a non-outerplanar graph such that, for every edge e, both the deletion G \ e and the contraction G/e of e from G are outerplanar, then G is isomorphic to K4 or K2,3. An a-outerplanar graph is a graph which is not outerplanar such that, for some edge a , b
A graph G is radius-critical if every proper induced connected subgraph of G has radius strictly smaller than the original graph. Our main purpose is to characterize all such graphs. 1. By a graph we shall mean here a finite, simple, undirected graph. For a connected graph the distance between two
