Abstract

Kumar and Madhavan [Minimal vertex separators of chordal graphs, Discrete Appl. Math. 89 (1998) 155–168] gave a linear time algorithm to list all the minimal separators of a chordal graph. In this paper we give another linear time algorithm for the same purpose. While the algorithm of Kumar and Madhavan requires that a specific type of PEO, namely the MCS PEO is computed first, our algorithm works with any PEO. This is interesting when we consider the fact that there are other popular methods such as Lex BFS to compute a PEO for a given chordal graph.
