Abstract

Two graphs G and H with the same vertex set V are P 4- isomorphic if there exists a permutation π on V such that, for all subsets S⊆V, S induces a chordless path on four vertices (denoted by P 4) in G if and only if π( S) induces a P 4 in H. This paper gives a characterization of all graphs P 4-isomorphic to a bipartite graph, which we call bipartite-perfect graphs. The characterization is based on graphs P 4-isomorphic to a tree previously described by A. Brandstädt and the author, and implies a linear time recognition algorithm for bipartite-perfect graphs.
