We show that a graph is weakly triangulated, or weakly chordal, if and only if it can be generated by starting with a graph with no edges, and repeatedly adding an edge, so that the new edge is not the middle edge of any chordless path with four vertices. This is a corollary of results due to Sritha
We show that Ps-free weakly triangulated graphs are perfectly orderable. Our proof is algorithmic, and relies on a notion concerning separating sets, a property of weakly triangulated graphs, and several properties of Ps-free weakly triangulated graphs.

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,.
