Bipartite graphs that are not circle graphs

André Bouchet (1999)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

The following result is proved: if a bipartite graph is not a circle graph, then its complement is not a circle graph. The proof uses Naji’s characterization of circle graphs by means of a linear system of equations with unknowns in GF ( 2 ) . At the end of this short note I briefly recall the work of François Jaeger on circle graphs.

Characterization of Line-Consistent Signed Graphs

Daniel C. Slilaty, Thomas Zaslavsky (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The line graph of a graph with signed edges carries vertex signs. A vertex-signed graph is consistent if every circle (cycle, circuit) has positive vertex-sign product. Acharya, Acharya, and Sinha recently characterized line-consistent signed graphs, i.e., edge-signed graphs whose line graphs, with the naturally induced vertex signature, are consistent. Their proof applies Hoede’s relatively difficult characterization of consistent vertex-signed graphs. We give a simple proof that does...
