Similarity:
Define a complete subgraph Q to be simplicial in a graph G when Q is contained in exactly one maximal complete subgraph ('maxclique') of G; otherwise, Q is nonsimplicial. Several graph classes-including strong p-Helly graphs and strongly chordal graphs-are shown to have pairs of peculiarly related new characterizations: (i) for every k ≤ 2, a certain property holds for the complete subgraphs that are in k or more maxcliques of G, and (ii) in every induced subgraph H of G, that...
