International audience The chordality of a graph with at least one cycle is the length of the longest induced cycle in it. The odd (even) chordality is defined to be the length of the longest induced odd (even) cycle in it. Chordal graphs have chordality at most 3. We show that co-circular-arc graphs and co-circle graphs have even chordality at most 4. We also identify few other classes of graphs having bounded (by a constant) chordality values.

Discrete Algorithms International audience We give a linear-time algorithm that checks for isomorphism between two 0-1 matrices that obey the circular-ones property. Our algorithm is similar to the isomorphism algorithm for interval graphs of Lueker and Booth, but works on PC trees, which are unrooted and have a cyclic nature, rather than with PQ trees, which are rooted. This algorithm leads to linear-time isomorphism algorithms for related graph classes, including Helly circular-arc graphs, Γ circular-arc graphs, proper circular-arc graphs and convex-round graphs.

We present a novel recolouring procedure for graph edge-colouring. We show that all graphs whose vertices have local degree sum not too large can be optimally edge-coloured in polynomial time. We also show that the set ofthe graphs satisfying this condition includes almost every graph (under the uniform distribution). We present further results on edge-colouring join graphs, chordal graphs, circular-arc graphs, and complementary prisms, whose proofs yield polynomial-time algorithms. Our results contribute towards settling the Over- full Conjecture, the main open conjecture on edge-colouring simple graphs. Fi- nally, we also present some results on total colouring.

In this chapter, a very important class of graphs called intersection graph is introduced. Based on the geometrical representation, many different types of intersection graphs can be defined with interesting properties. Some of them—interval graphs, circular-arc graphs, permutation graphs, trapezoid graphs, chordal graphs, line graphs, disk graphs, string graphs—are presented here. A brief introduction of each of these intersection graphs along with some basic properties and algorithmic status are investigated.

Graph Theory International audience A graph is balanced if its clique-vertex incidence matrix contains no square submatrix of odd order with exactly two ones per row and per column. There is a characterization of balanced graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs, but no characterization by mininal forbidden induced subgraphs is known, not even for the case of circular-arc graphs. A circular-arc graph is the intersection graph of a family of arcs on a circle. In this work, we characterize when a given graph G is balanced in terms of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs, by restricting the analysis to the case where G belongs to certain classes of circular-arc graphs, including Helly circular-arc graphs, claw-free circular-arc graphs, and gem-free circular-arc graphs. In the case of gem-free circular-arc graphs, analogous characterizations are derived for two superclasses of balanced graphs: clique-perfect graphs and coordinated graphs.
