Abstract

A chordal graph H is a triangulation of a graph G, if H is obtained by adding edges to G. If no proper subgraph of H is a triangulation of G, then H is a minimal triangulation of G. A potential maximal clique of G is a set of vertices that induces a maximal clique in a minimal triangulation of G. We will characterise the potential maximal cliques of permutation graphs and give a characterisation of minimal triangulations of permutation graphs in terms of sets of potential maximal cliques. This results in linear-time algorithms for computing treewidth and minimum fill-in for permutation graphs.
