Abstract |

In this paper we introduce a new form of decomposition of graphs, the (P, Q)-decomposition. We first give an optimal algorithm for finding the 1-decomposition of a graph which is a special case of the (P, Q)-decomposition which was first introduced in [21]. We then examine the connections between the 1-decomposition and well known forms of decomposition of graphs, namely, modular and homogeneous decomposition. The characterization of graphs totally decomposable by 1-decomposition is also given. The last part of our paper is devoted to a generalization of the 1-decomposition. We first show that some basic properties of modular decomposition can be extended in a new form of decomposition of graphs that we called operator decomposition. We introduce the notion of a (P, Q)-module, where P and Q are hereditary graph-theoretic properties, the notion of a (P, Q)-split graph and the closed hereditary class (P, Q) of graphs (P and Q are closed under the operations of join of graphs and disjoint union of graphs, respectively). On this base, we construct a special case of the operator decomposition that is called (P, Q)-decomposition. Such decomposition is uniquely determined by an arbitrary minimal nontrivial (P, Q)-module in G. In particular, if G Ï (P, Q), then G has the unique canonical (P, Q)-decomposition. |
