Abstract

This paper considers the problem of recognition and representation of dynamically changing chordal graphs. The input to the problem consists of a series of modifications to be performed on a graph, where modifications can be additions or deletions of complete r-vertex graphs. The purpose is to maintain a representation of the graph as long as it remains a chordal graph and to detect when it ceases to be so.
