Abstract


In this work we consider the problem of finding a set of vertices S minimum of a graph P4-tidy G, such that the subgraph induced by G n S is a tree and S is a stable set. It was showed that this problem is NP-complete for general graphs in Brandstädt et al. 1998. We present an algorithm for finding a minimum set S in P4-tidy graphs based on a characterization by minimal forbidden subgraphs. Through the analysis of the algorithm, we prove that this optimization problem can be solved in linear time.
