摘要
Recently lexicographic breadth first search (LexBFS) has been shown to be a very powerful tool for the development of linear time, easily implementable recognition algorithms for various families of graphs. In this paper, we add to this work by producing a simple two LexBFS sweep algorithm to recognize the family of cographs. This algorithm extends to other related graph families such as P-4-reducible, P-4-sparse, and distance hereditary. It is an open question whether our cograph recognition algorithm can be extended to a similarly easy algorithm for modular decomposition.
