Abstract
This paper is inspired in the well known characterization of chordal graphs as the intersection graphs of subtrees of a tree. We consider families of induced trees of any graph and we prove that their recognition is NP-Complete. A consequence of this fact is that the concept of clique tree of chordal graphs cannot be widely generalized. Finally, we consider the fact that every graph is the intersection graph of induced trees of a bipartite graph and we characterize some classes that arise when we impose restrictions on the host bipartite graph.
期刊介绍：
ENTCS is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication and the availability on the electronic media is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear in ENTCS, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.
