Abstract
In Partition Into Complementary Subgraphs (Comp-Sub) we are given a graph , and an edge set property , and asked whether can be decomposed into two graphs, and its complement , for some graph , in such a way that the edge cut satisfies the property . Motivated by previous work, we consider Comp-Sub() when the property specifies that the edge cut of the decomposition is a perfect matching. We prove that Comp-Sub() is GI-hard when the graph is -free. On the other hand, we show that Comp-Sub() is polynomial-time solvable on -free graphs and on -free graphs. Furthermore, we present characterizations of Comp-Sub() on chordal, distance-hereditary, and extended -laden graphs.
