Cluster Vertex Deletion on Chordal Graphs

Abstract

We present a polynomial-time algorithm for the cluster vertex deletion problem on chordal graphs, resolving an open question posed in different contexts by Cao et al. [Theoretical Computer Science, 2018], Aprile et al. [Mathematical Programming, 2023], Chakraborty et al. [Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2024], and Hsieh et al. [Algorithmica, 2024]. We use dynamic programming over clique trees and reduce the computation of the optimal subproblem value to the minimization of a submodular set function.
