not comparablegraph theoryThe property of a graph such that its vertices can be listed in an order such that, for every vertex, the vertex is a subdominant vertex (has an adjacent vertex that is adjacent to every other vertex that it is adjacent to) in the induced subgraph generated by that vertex and all subsequent vertices.
We show that the independence complex of a chordal graph is contractible if and only if this complex is dismantlable (strong collapsible) and it is homotopy equivalent to a sphere if and only if its core is a cross-polytopal sphere.
