1. On a generalization of median graphs: k-median graphsMarc Hellmuth, Sandhya Thekkumpadan Puthiyaveedu, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Median graphs are connected graphs in which for all three vertices there is a unique vertex that belongs to shortest paths between each pair of these three vertices. To be more formal, a graph G is a median graph if, for all μ, u, v ∈ V(G), it holds that |I(μ, u) ∩ I(μ, v) ∩ I(u, v)| = 1 where I(x, y) denotes the set of all vertices that lie on shortest paths connecting x and y.
In this paper we are interested in a natural generalization of median graphs, called k-median graphs. A graph G is a k-median graph, if there are k vertices μ1, …, μk ∈ V(G) such that, for all u, v ∈ V(G), it holds that |I(μ_i, u) ∩ I(μ_i, v) ∩ I(u, v)| = 1, 1 ≤ i ≤ k. By definition, every median graph with n vertices is an n-median graph. We provide several characterizations of k-median graphs that, in turn, are used to provide many novel characterizations of median graphs.

2. On the proper interval completion problem within some chordal subclassesFrançois Dross, Claire Hilaire, Ivo Koch, Valeria Alejandra Leoni, Nina Pardal, María Inés Lopez Pujato, Vinicius Fernandes dos Santos, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Given a property (graph class) Π, a graph G, and an integer k, the Π-completion problem consists of deciding whether we can turn G into a graph with the property Π by adding at most k edges to G. The Π-completion problem is known to be NP-hard for general graphs when Π is the property of being a proper interval graph (PIG). In this work, we study the PIG-completion problem within different subclasses of chordal graphs. We show that the problem remains NP-complete even when restricted to split graphs. We then turn our attention to positive results and present polynomial time algorithms to solve the PIG-completion problem when the input is restricted to caterpillar and threshold graphs. We also present an efficient algorithm for the minimum co-bipartite-completion for quasi-threshold graphs, which provides a lower bound for the PIG-completion problem within this graph class.
