Abstract

Graph theory provides algorithms and tools to handle models for important applications in biology and medicine, such as drug design, diagnosis, or visualization. This paper deals with some theoretical results concerning the relationship between two classes of graphs which may be susceptible of applications in medicine and intelligent systems. The class of Confidentially Connected-free graphs is introduced and related to the class of Asteroidal Triple-free graphs, as well as to the graphs that have a star-cutset. We give a characterization of Confidentially Connected-free graphs using neighborhoods and weakly decomposition.
