Chordal graphs are easily testable

Combinatorics 2019-02-19 v1

Abstract

We prove that the class of chordal graphs is easily testable in the following sense. There exists a constant c>0c>0 such that, if adding/removing at most ϵn2\epsilon n^2 edges to a graph GG with nn vertices does not make it chordal, then a set of (1/ϵ)c(1/\epsilon)^c vertices of GG chosen uniformly at random induces a graph that is not chordal with probability at least 1/21/2. This answers a question of Gishboliner and Shapira.
