Wikipedia
chordal
In the mathematical area of graph theory, a chordal graph is one in which all cycles of four or more vertices have a chord, which is an edge that is not part of the cycle but connects two vertices of the cycle. Equivalently, every induced cycle in the graph should have exactly three vertices. The chordal graphs may also be characterized as the graphs that have perfect elimination orderings, as the graphs in which each minimal separator is a clique, and as the intersection graphs of subtrees of a tree. They are sometimes also called rigid circuit graphs or triangulated graphs.Chordal graphs are a subset of the perfect graphs. They may be recognized in linear time, and several problems that are hard on other classes of graphs such as graph coloring may be solved in polynomial time when the input is chordal. The treewidth of an arbitrary graph may be characterized by the size of the cliques in the chordal graphs that contain it.

chordal
In mathematics, particularly in graph theory, a graph is chordal (or rigid circuit, or triangulated) if every cycle of four or more vertices has a chord, which is an edge that is not part of the cycle but connects two vertices of the cycle. In music, "chordal" refers to music that is based on or employs harmonic or chordal structures, as opposed to linear or melodic structures. In general, "chordal" pertains to, relates to, or consists of a chord or chords.
