Detecting an induced net subdivision

Discrete Mathematics 2020-12-01 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

A {\em net} is a graph consisting of a triangle CC and three more vertices, each of degree one and with its neighbour in CC, and all adjacent to different vertices of CC. We give a polynomial-time algorithm to test whether an input graph has an induced subgraph which is a subdivision of a net. Unlike many similar questions, this does not seem to be solvable by an application of the "three-in-a-tree" subroutine.
