\description{Decide if a graph is triangulated}

\usage{
is.triangulated(g)
}

\arguments{
  \item{g}{an instance of the \code{graph} class }
}

\details{
An undirected graph G = (V, E) is triangulated (i.e. chordal) if all cycles
[v1, v2, ..., vk] of length 4 or more have a chord, i.e., an edge
[vi, vj] with j != i +/- 1 (mod k)

An equivalent definition of chordal graphs is:

G is chordal iff either G is an empty graph, or
there is an v in V such that
\enumerate{
\item the neighborhood of v (i.e., v and its adjacent nodes) forms a clique, and
\item recursively, G-v is chordal
}

}

\value{
The return value is \code{TRUE} if \code{g} is triangulated and \code{FALSE} 
otherwise. An error is thrown if the graph is not undirected; you might use 
\code{\link[graph]{ugraph}} to compute the underlying graph.
