β¦ Synopsis
The following assertions are shown to be equivalent, for any countable graph G: (1) G can be represented as the intersection graph of a family of subtrees of a tree; (2) G admits a tree-decomposition (Robertson/Seymour) into primes; (3) G is chordal, and G admits a simpkial tree-decomposition (Halin) into primes; (4) G is chordal, and neither of two specSed graphs is contained in G as a simplicial minor.

Maximal complete subgraphs and clique trees are basic to both the theory and applications of chordal graphs. A simple notion of strong clique tree extends this structure to strongly chordal graphs. Replacing maximal complete subgraphs with open or closed vertex neighborhoods discloses new relationsh
In this paper we show that, for each chordal graph G, there is a tree T such that T is a spanning tree of the square G 2 of G and, for every two vertices, the distance between them in T is not larger than the distance in G plus 2. Moreover, we prove that, if G is a strongly chordal graph or even a d
with β¦ G G V r2 q 10 h V log V , and h y 1 divides E , then there is a decomposition of the edges of G into copies of H. This result is asymptotically the best possible for all trees with at least three vertices.
A linear arrangement of an n-vertex graph G = V E is a one-one mapping f of the vertex set V onto the set n = 0 1 n -1 . The bandwidth of this linear arrangement is the maximum difference between the images of the endpoints of any edge in E G . When the input graph G is a tree, the best known approx
