In matrix completion theory, it is known that the following two conditions are equivalent: (i) $G$ is a chordal graph; (ii) Every $G$-partial positive semidefinite matrix has a positive semidefinite matrix completion. In this paper, we relate these two conditions to constraint nondegeneracy condition in semidefinite programming and prove that they are each equivalent to (iii) For any $G$-partial positive definite matrix that has a positive semidefinite completion, constraint nondegeneracy is satisfied at each of its positive semidefinite matrix completions. rv:
