Enumeration of chordal planar graphs and maps

We determine the number of labelled chordal planar graphs with n vertices, which is asymptotically for a constant and . We also determine the number of rooted simple chordal planar maps with n edges, which is asymptotically , where , , and s is an algebraic number of degree 12. The proofs are based...

Resumo:We determine the number of labelled chordal planar graphs with n vertices, which is asymptotically for a constant and . We also determine the number of rooted simple chordal planar maps with n edges, which is asymptotically , where , , and s is an algebraic number of degree 12. The proofs are based on combinatorial decompositions and singularity analysis. Chordal planar graphs (or maps) are a natural example of a subcritical class of graphs in which the class of 3-connected graphs is relatively rich. The 3-connected members are precisely chordal triangulations, those obtained starting from by repeatedly adding vertices adjacent to an existing triangular face.
