Abstract

If G is a graph, a k-role assignment is a function mapping each vertex into a role, a positive integer 1,2,…,k, so that if x and y have the same role, then the sets of roles assigned to their neighbors are the same. A graph is called a triangulated graph if it contains no chord-less cycle of four or more vertices. One interesting type of triangulated graph is the indifference graph, that is a graph for which we can find a function on its vertex set so that if x and y are adjacent, then their assigned function values are close. We study 2-role assignments for triangulated graphs. We provide a “greedy” algorithm for finding a 2-role assignment on a connected, non-bipartite triangulated graph with at most one pendant vertex. We characterize indifference graphs that have a 2-role assignment.
