Recognition of Unigraphs through Superposition of Graphs

 

A. Borri, T. Calamoneri, R. Petreschi

Abstract

Unigraphs are graphs uniquely determined by their own degree sequence up to isomorphism. In this paper a structural description for unigraphs is introduced: vertex set is partitioned into three disjoint sets while edge set is divided into two different classes. This characterization allows us to design a linear time recognition algorithm that works recursively pruning the degree sequence of the graph. The algorithm detects two particular graphs whose superposition generates the given unigraph.
