Abstract

Given nonnegative integers, ss and kk, an (s,k)(s,k)-polar partition of a graph GG is a partition (A,B)(A,B) of VGV_G such that G[A]G[A] and G[B]\overline{G[B]} are complete multipartite graphs with at most ss and kk parts, respectively. If ss or kk is replaced by \infty, it means that there is no restriction on the number of parts of G[A]G[A] or G[B]\overline{G[B]}, respectively. A graph admitting a (1,1)(1,1)-polar partition is usually called a split graph. In this work, we present some results related to (s,k)(s,k)-polar partitions on two graph classes generalizing split graphs. Our main results include efficient algorithms to decide whether a graph on these classes admits an (s,k)(s,k)-polar partition, as well as upper bounds for the order of minimal (s,k)(s,k)-polar obstructions on such graph families for any ss and kk (even if ss or kk is \infty).
