In this note we point out a flaw in the separator theorem for rooted directed vertex graphs due to C. L. Monma and V. K. Wei (1986, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 41, 141 181), and present a modified separator theorem for the same class of graphs.

β¦ Synopsis
This paper deals with the isomorphism problem of directed path graphs and rooted directed path graphs. Both graph classes belong to the class of chordal graphs, and for both classes the relative complexity of the isomorphism problem is yet unknown. We prove that deciding isomorphism of directed path graphs is isomorphism complete, whereas for rooted directed path graphs we present a polynomial-time isomorphism algorithm.

An asteroidal triple is a stable set of three vertices such that each pair is connected by a path avoiding the neighborhood of the third vertex. Asteroidal triples play a central role in a classical characterization of interval graphs by Lekkerkerker and Boland. Their result says that a chordal grap
In a graph G, a spanning tree T is called a tree t-spanner of G if the distance between any two vertices in T is at most t times their distance in G. While the complexity of finding a tree t-spanner of a given graph is known for any fixed t 3, the case t Ο 3 still remains open. In this article, we s
## Abstract Suppose __G__ is a connected graph and __T__ a spanning tree of __G__. A vertex __v__ Ξ΅ __V__(__G__) is said to be a degreeβpreserving vertex if its degree in __T__ is the same as its degree in __G__. The degreeβpreserving spanning tree problem is to find a spanning tree __T__ of a conn
