Collapsibility of Non-Cover Complexes of Graphs

Abstract: Given a graph G, the non-cover complex of G is the combinatorial Alexander dual of the independence complex of G. Aharoni asked if the non-cover complex of a graphverified Aharoni's question in the affirmative for chordal graphs, we prove that the answer to the question is yes for all graphs. Namely, we show that for a graph G, the non-cover complex of a graph G is (|V (G)| − iγ(G) − 1)-collapsible.

“…The notion of d-collapsibility of simplicial complexes was introduced in [40]. In combinatorial topology it is an important problem to determine the collapsibility number or bounds for the collapsibility number of a simplicial complex and it has been widely studied (see [12,19,31,34,35]). A simple consequence of d-collapsibility is the following: Proposition 1.2.…”
