In the mathematical area of graph theory, a chordal bipartite graph is a bipartite graph B = (X,Y,E) in which every cycle of length at least 6 in B has a chord, i.e., an edge that connects two vertices that are a distance > 1 apart from each other in the cycle.

[1]

A better name would be weakly chordal and bipartite since chordal bipartite graphs are in general not chordal as the induced cycle of length 4 shows.

Characterizations

Chordal bipartite graphs have various characterizations in terms of perfect elimination orderings, hypergraphs and matrices. They are closely related to strongly chordal graphs.

By definition, chordal bipartite graphs have a forbidden subgraph characterization as the graphs that do not contain

any induced cycle of length 3 or of length at least 5 (so-called holes) as an induced subgraph. Thus, a graph G is chordal bipartite if and only if

G is triangle-free and hole-free. In {{harvtxt|Golumbic|1980}}, two other characterizations are mentioned:

B is chordal bipartite if and only if every minimal edge separator induces a complete bipartite subgraph in B if and only if every induced

subgraph is perfect elimination bipartite.

Martin Farber has shown: A graph is strongly chordal if and only if the bipartite incidence graph of its clique hypergraph is chordal bipartite.

[2]

A similar characterization holds for the closed neighborhood hypergraph: A graph is strongly chordal if and only if the bipartite incidence graph of its

closed neighborhood hypergraph is chordal bipartite.[3]

Another result found by Elias Dahlhaus is: A bipartite graph B = (X,Y,E) is chordal bipartite if and only if the split graph resulting from making X a clique is strongly chordal.[4]

A bipartite graph B = (X,Y,E) is chordal bipartite if and only if every induced subgraph of B has a maximum X-neighborhood ordering and a

maximum Y-neighborhood ordering.[5]

Various results describe the relationship between chordal bipartite graphs and totally balanced neighborhood hypergraphs of bipartite graphs.

[6]

A characterization of chordal bipartite graphs in terms of intersection graphs related to hypergraphs is given in.[7]

A bipartite graph is chordal bipartite if and only if its adjacency matrix is totally balanced if and only if the adjacency matrix is Gamma-free.

[8]

Recognition

Chordal bipartite graphs can be recognized in time {{nowrap|O(min(n2, (n + m) log n))}} for a graph with n vertices and

m edges.[9]

Complexity of problems

Various problems such as Hamiltonian cycle,[10] Steiner tree [11] and Efficient Domination

[12] remain NP-complete on chordal bipartite graphs.

Various other problems which can be solved efficiently for bipartite graphs can be solved more efficiently for chordal bipartite graphs as discussed in

[13]

Related graph classes

Every chordal bipartite graph is a modular graph. The chordal bipartite graphs include the complete bipartite graphs and the bipartite distance-hereditary graphs.[14]
