Abstract

Unigraphs are graphs identifiable up to isomorphism from their degree sequences. Given a class A\mathcal{A} of graphs, we define the class of A\mathcal{A}-unigraphs to be graphs identifiable from degree sequence and membership in A\mathcal{A}. While these classes are often not hereditary, we provide characterizations of the largest hereditary subclass contained in the bipartite-unigraphs, the kk-partite unigraphs, the perfect-unigraphs, and the chordal-unigraphs. We also characterize the largest hereditary subclass contained in the bipartite-unigraphs in terms of structure, degree sequence, and a partial order on degree sequences due to Rao. Lastly, we show that all unigraphs GG satisfy the bound χ(G)ω(G)+1\chi(G) \le \omega(G) + 1 and are hence apex-perfect graphs.
