An arc of D is called dependent if its reversal creates a directed cycle. Let m and M denote the minimum and the maximum of the number of dependent arcs over all acyclic orientations of G. We call G fully orientable if G has an acyclic orientation with exactly d dependent arcs for every d satisfying m <= d <= M. A graph G is called chordal if every cycle in G of length at least four has a chord. We show that all chordal graphs are fully orientable.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-02-26T02:58:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C99" ], "keywords": [ "chordal graphs", "fully orientable", "acyclic orientation", "dependent arcs", "reversal creates" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1202.5718L" } } }
