Graph modification problems are typically asked as follows: is there a small set of operations that transforms a given graph to have a certain property. The most commonly considered operations include vertex deletion, edge deletion, and edge addition; for the same property, one can define significantly different versions by allowing different operations. We study a very general graph modification problem which allows all three types of operations: given a graph G and integers k 1 , k 2 , and k 3 , the CHORDAL EDITING problem asks whether G can be transformed into a chordal graph by at most k 1 vertex deletions, k 2 edge deletions, and k 3 edge additions. Clearly, this problem generalizes both CHORDAL VERTEX/EDGE DELETION and CHORDAL COMPLETION (also known as MINIMUM FILL-IN). Our main result is an algorithm for CHORDAL EDITING in time 2 O(k log k) • n O(1) , where k := k 1 + k 2 + k 3 and n is the number of vertices of G. Therefore, the problem is fixed-parameter tractable parameterized by the total number of allowed operations. Our algorithm is both more efficient and conceptually simpler than the previously known algorithm for the special case CHORDAL DELETION.
