Abstract :
An asteroidal triple in a graph G is a set of three non-adjacent vertices such that for any two of them there exists a path between them that does not intersect the neighborhood of the third. A special asteroidal triple in a graph G is an asteroidal triple such that each pair is linked by a special connection. A special asteroidal triple play a central role in a characterization of directed path graphs by Cameron, Hoلng and Lévêque. They also introduce a related notion of asteroidal quadruple and conjecture a characterization of rooted path graphs. In this original form this conjecture is not complete, still in leafage four, as was showed in [M. Gutierrez, B. Lévêque, S. B. Tondato, Asteroidal quadruples in non rooted path graphs, manuscript 2012.] but as suggested by the conjecture, a characterization by forbidding particular type of asteroidal quadruples may holds. We prove that the conjecture in the original form is true on directed path graphs with leafage four having two minimal separators with multiplicity two. Thus we build the family of forbidden for this case.
