Popis: A topology on the vertex set of a graphG iscompatible with the graph if every induced subgraph ofG is connected if and only if its vertex set is topologically connected. In the case of locally finite graphs with a finite number of components, it was shown in [11] that a compatible topology exists if and only if the graph is a comparability graph and that all such topologies are Alexandroff. The main results of Section 1 extend these results to a much wider class of graphs. In Section 2, we obtain sufficient conditions on a graph under which all the compatible topologies are Alexandroff and in the case of bipartite graphs we show that this condition is also necessary.
