Forced Edges and Graph Structure

Abstract

For a degree sequence, its set of forced edges are the edges that appear in every realization of that sequence, while its forbidden edges appear in no realization. We examine sequences with forced or forbidden edges, showing relationships between these sequences, the structure of the forced or forbidden edge sets, and the resulting structural consequences to their realizations.
