ON TRANSITIVE ORIENTATIONS OF G-ê

Abstract

A comparability graph is a graph whose edges can be oriented transitively. Given a comparability graph G = (V,E) and an arbitrary edge ê∈E we explore the question whether the graph G-ê, obtained by removing the undirected edge ê, is a comparability graph as well. We define a new substructure of implication classes and present a complete mathematical characterization of all those edges.

Keywords: (primary): comparability graph, edge deletion;
(secondary): transitive orientation, Triangle Lemma, Γ-components, open shop scheduling, irreducibility.
