Abstract: | Ptolemaic graphs are those satisfying the Ptolemaic inequality for any four vertices. The graph class coincides with the intersection of chordal graphs and distance hereditary graphs. It can also be seen as a natural generalization of block graphs (and hence trees). In this paper, we first state a laminar structure of cliques, which leads to its canonical tree representation. This result is a translation of γ-acyclicity which appears in the context of relational database schemes. The tree representation gives a simple intersection model of ptolemaic graphs, and it is constructed in linear time from a perfect elimination ordering obtained by the lexicographic breadth first search. Hence the recognition and the graph isomorphism for ptolemaic graphs can be solved in linear time. Using the tree representation, we also give an efficient algorithm for the Hamiltonian cycle problem. |
