A graph G is called triangulated (or rigid-circuit graph, or chordal graph) if every circuit of G with length greater than 3 has a chord. It can be shown (see, UI, . . . , u,, . Let G = G,.

Abstract
New characterizations of triangulated and cotriangulated graphs are presented. Cotriangulated graphs form a natural subclass of the class of strongly perfect graphs, and they are also characterized in terms of the shellability of some associated collection of sets. Finally, the notion of stability function of a graph is introduced, and it is proved that a graph is triangulated if and only if the polynomial representing its stability function has all its coefficients equal to 0, +1 or −1.

## Abstract A circular‐arc graph is the intersection graph of a family of arcs on a circle. A characterization by forbidden induced subgraphs for this class of graphs is not known, and in this work we present a partial result in this direction. We characterize circular‐arc graphs by a list of minim
A connected graph G is a tree-clique graph if there exists a spanning tree T (a compatible tree) such that every clique of G is a subtree of T. When Tis a path the connected graph G is a proper interval graph which is usually defined as intersection graph of a family of closed intervals of the real
The interval number of a simple undirected graph G, denoted i(G), is the least nonnegative integer r for which we can assign to each vertex in G a collection of at most r intervals on the real line such that two distinct vertices u and w of G are adjacent if and only if some interval for u intersect
