Abstract (EN)
A proportionally dense subgraph (PDS) is an induced subgraph of a graph such that each vertex in the PDS is adjacent to proportionally as many vertices in the subgraph as in the rest of the graph. In this paper, we study a partition of a graph into two proportionally dense subgraphs, namely a 2-PDS partition, with and without additional constraint of connectivity of the subgraphs. We present two infinite classes of graphs: one with graphs without a 2-PDS partition, and another with graphs that only admit a disconnected 2-PDS partition. These results answer some questions proposed by Bazgan et al. (2018).
