Abstract

A graph is (s, k)-polar if there exists a partition A, B of its vertex set such that A induces a complete s-partite graph and B a disjoint union of at most k cliques. Recognizing a polar graph is known to be NP-complete. Here we consider the class of polar graphs which are also cographs. We provide polynomial time algorithms and forbidden subgraphs characterizations for problems related to polar cographs.
