Abstract

We explore the properties of subgraphs (called Markovian subgraphs) of a decomposable graph under some conditions. For a decomposable graph \(\mathcal{G}\) and a collection γ of its Markovian subgraphs, we show that the set \(\chi(\mathcal{G})\) of the intersections of all the neighboring cliques of \(\mathcal{G}\) contains . We also show that \(\chi(\mathcal{G})=\cup_{g\in\gamma}\chi(g)\) holds for a certain type of \(\mathcal{G}\) which we call a maximal Markovian supergraph of γ. This graph-theoretic result is instrumental for combining knowledge structures that are given in undirected graphs.
