Graphs with minimal well-covered dimension

Abstract

There is a class of graphs with well-covered dimension equal to the simplicial clique number that contains all chordal graphs and infinitely many other graphs. These graphs generalize a result by Brown and Nowakowski on the well-covered dimension of chordal graphs. Furthermore, each member of the infinite family of Sierpinski gasket graphs of order at least $2$ has well-covered dimension $3,$ the simplicial clique number.
