page 1
chordal graph
graph in which all cycles of four or more vertices have a chord
perfect graph
graph whose maximum clique’s size equals the chromatic number
interval graph
intersection graph of a collection of intervals of the real line
König's theorem
theorem showing that maximum matching and minimum vertex cover are equivalent for bipartite graphs
Dilworth's theorem
theorem that the maximum size of an antichain in a finite partial order equals the minimum number of chains into which it can be partitioned
k-tree
thumb|The Goldner–Harary graph, an example of a planar 3-tree. In graph theory, a '''k-tree' is an undirected graph formed by starting with a (k + 1)-vertex complete graph and then repeatedly adding vertices in such a way that each added vertex v has exactly k neighbors U such that, together, the k + 1 vertices formed by v and U'' form a clique.
cograph
thumb|The Turán graph T(13,4) is a cograph In graph theory, a cograph, or complement-reducible graph, or '''P4-free graph', is a graph that can be generated from the single-vertex graph K1 by complementation and disjoint union. That is, the family of cographs is the smallest class of graphs that includes K''1 and is closed under complementation and disjoint union.
split graph
graph which partitions into a clique and independent set
permutation graph
graph whose vertices represent the elements of a permutation
threshold graph
graph that can be constructed with a sequence of operations that add either an isolated vertex or a dominating vertex
comparability graph
undirected graph linking pairs of comparable elements in a partial order
windmill graph
undirected graph constucted by joining multiple complete graphs at a shared universal vertex
line perfect graph
graph whose line graph is perfect
distance-hereditary graph
graph whose induced subgraphs preserve distance
block graph
connected graph whose biconnected components are all cliques
perfect graph theorem
theorem in graph theory
strong perfect graph theorem
perfect graphs have neither odd holes nor odd antiholes
rook's graph
graph that represents all legal moves of the rook chess piece on a chessboard
