Abstract

We show how to use split decomposition to compute the weighted clique number and the chromatic number of a graph and we apply these results to some classes of graphs. In particular we present an O(n2m) algorithm to compute the chromatic number for all those graphs having a split decomposition in which every prime graph is an induced subgraph of either a Ck or a $\overline{C_k}$ for some k≥ 3.
