摘要
The square H(2) of a graph H is obtained from H by adding new edges between every two vertices having distance two in H. Lau and Cornell [Recognizing powers of proper interval, split and chordal graphs, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 18 (2004) 83-102] proved that recognizing squares of split graphs is an NP-complete problem. In contrast, we show that squares of strongly chordal split graphs can be recognized in quadratic-time by giving a structural characterization of these graph class. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
