Abstract: Graph modification problems refer to deleting or adding edges or vertices in a graph to make a graph transform to another graph with a certain property.Graph modification problems have been widely studied for many years,especially on chordal graphs,interval graphs and unit interval graphs.Chordal graphs are the most important perfect graph class and supersets of (unit) interval graphs.There are many NP-hard problems which can be solved in polynomialtime on chordal graphs.Interval graphs and unit interval graphs have momentous application on computational biology.Research on graph modification problems of these graphs make a great contribution to both computer theory and applications.This survey first summarized important results for the graph modification problems on chordal graph,interval graph and unit interval graphs,then analyzed these problems,and provided some open problems to be worth studying.
