On graphs with 2 trivial distance ideals

Abstract

Distance ideals generalize the Smith normal form of the distance matrix of a graph. The family of graphs with 2 trivial distance ideals contains the family of graphs whose distance matrix has at most 2 invariant factors equal to 1. Here we give an infinite family of forbidden induced subgraphs for the graphs with 2 trivial distance ideals. These are also related with other well known graph classes.
