Abstract

An easy way for graph recognition algorithms is to use a two-step process: first, compute a characteristic feature as if the graph belongs to that class; second, check whether the computed characteristic feature as if the graph belongs to that class; second, check whether the computed separating them may yield new and much more easily understood algorithms. In this paper we apply that paradigm to the cograph and distance hereditary graph recognition problems.
