On graphs containing a given graph as median

Authors: A. Poshtaru, R. Boliac

Abstract

P.J. Slater demonstrated that any connected graph G is the median of a graph G* and indicated the construction of G*. His construction requires O(n2) new vertices, where n is the number of G vertices of G. In this paper the same problem is considered and some new constructions of G* are presented. The number of new vertices added to G is considerably improved. From our constructions it follows that in the general case n new vertices are necessary.
