Let G be a chordal graph on n vertices and let S be any set of vertices in G. From the correctness of the described algorithm it follows that μ(G, S) is upper bounded by the number of leaves in the search tree corresponding to the algorithm. Let L(n) denote the maximum number of leaves in a search tree resulting from running our algorithm on an n-vertex chordal graph G = (V , E) and a subset S ⊆ V . From the description of the algorithm we see that L(n) satisfies the following inequalities; we list them in the same order as the corresponding branching vectors in the proof of Theorem 2.
