Abstract

Given a class of graphs, $\mathcal{G}$, a graph Gis a probe graph of$\mathcal{G}$ if its vertices can be partitioned into two sets, 茂戮驴 (the probes) and 茂戮驴 (the nonprobes), where 茂戮驴 is an independent set, such that Gcan be embedded into a graph of $\mathcal{G}$ by adding edges between certain nonprobes. In this paper we study the probe graphs of ptolemaic graphs when the partition of vertices is unknown. We present some characterizations of probe ptolemaic graphs and show that there exists a polynomial-time recognition algorithm for probe ptolemaic graphs.
