Graphclass: ptolemaic

Definition:

A connected graph is ptolemaic if any four vertices u,v,w,x satisfy the ptolemaic inequality: d(u,v) d(w,x) <= d(u,w) d(v,x) + d(u,x) d(v,w).

Inclusions

The map shows the inclusions between the current class and a fixed set of landmark classes. Minimal/maximal is with respect to the contents of ISGCI. Only references for direct inclusions are given. Where no reference is given, check equivalent classes or use the Java application. To check relations other than inclusion (e.g. disjointness) use the Java application, as well.

Cliquewidth
[?]
Whether the cliquewidth of the graphs in this class is bounded by a constant k .
The cliquewidth of a graph is the number of different labels that is needed to construct the graph using the following operations:
  • creation of a vertex with label i,
  • disjoint union,
  • renaming labels i to label j,
  • connecting all vertices with label i to all vertices with label j.

Cliquewidth expression
[?]
Input: A graph G in this class.
Output: An expression that constructs G according to the rules for cliquewidth, using only a constant number of labels.
Undefined if this class has unbounded cliquewidth.
