Extending results of Ellingham and of Goldwasser and Zhang, we prove that if e is an edge of M such that every 4-cycle containing an edge of M contains e, then e is contained in a subdivision of the Petersen graph of a special type. In particular, if the graph is cyclically 5-edge-connected, then every edge of M is contained in such a subdivision. Our proof is based on a characterization of cographs in terms of twin vertices. We infer a linear lower bound on the number of Petersen subdivisions in a permutation graph with no 4-cycles, and give a construction showing that this lower bound is tight up to a constant factor.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-04-09T20:53:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C99", "05C75" ], "keywords": [ "permutation graph", "multiple petersen subdivisions", "linear lower bound", "complement consists", "constant factor" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1204.1989K" } } }
