- Cographs are the graphs formed from a single vertex under the closure
- of the operations of union and complement. Another characterization of
- cographs is that they are the undirected graphs with no induced paths
- on four vertices (P_4). (see: Corneil, ..., SIAM J Comput 14 (1985) 926)
-
- Let A(G) be the adjacency matrix of the graph G.
-
- Conjecture:
- For a cograph G there is
- rg( A(G) ) = the number of different nonzero columns of A(G).
-
- Are there other classes of graphs with this property?
