Abstract
A graph is called a pairwise compatibility graph (PCG) if there exists an edge-weighted tree and two non-negative real numbers and such that each leaf of corresponds to a vertex and there is an edge if and only if where is the sum of the weights of the edges on the unique path from to in . In this note, we show that all the graphs with at most seven vertices are PCGs. In particular all these graphs except for the wheel on 7 vertices are PCGs of a particular structure of a tree: a centipede.
