Abstract

A cograph completion of an arbitrary graph Gis a cograph supergraph of Gon the same vertex set. Such a completion is called minimal if the set of edges added to Gis inclusion minimal. In this paper we present two results on minimal cograph completions. The first is a a characterization that allows us to check in linear time whether a given cograph completion is minimal. The second result is a vertex incremental algorithm to compute a minimal cograph completion Hof an arbitrary input graph Gin O(V(H) + E(H)) time.
