Clique immersions in graphs of independence number two with certain forbidden subgraphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Lescure–Meyniel conjecture is the analogue of Hadwiger’s for immersion order. It states that every graph G contains complete Kχ(G) as an immersion, and like its minor-order counterpart it open even graphs with independence number 2. We show α(G)≥2 no hole length between 4 2α(G) satisfies this conjecture. In particular, C4-free α(G)=2 give another generalisation corollary, follows. Let H be at most 2, such |V(H)|≤4. If H-free, then

Graphs with Forbidden Subgraphs
Many graphs which are encountered in the study of graph theory are characterized by a type of configuration or subgraph they possess. However, there are occasions when such graphs are more easily defined or described by the kind of subgraphs they are not permitted to contain. For example, a tree can be defined as a connected graph which contains no cycles, and Kuratowski [22] characterized plan...
متن کاملThe number of graphs with large forbidden subgraphs
In this note, extending some results of Erd1⁄2os, Frankl, Rödl, Alexeev, Bollobás and Thomason, we determine asymptotically the number of graphs which do not contain certain large subgraphs. In particular, we show that if H1;H2; : : : are graphs with jHnj = o (log n) and (Hn) = rn + 1; then the number Sn of graphs of order n not containing Hn satis es log2 Sn = (1 1=rn + o (1)) n 2 : We also gi...
متن کاملChromatic number of ordered graphs with forbidden ordered subgraphs
It is well-known that the graphs not containing a given graph H as a subgraph have bounded chromatic number if and only if H is acyclic. Here we consider ordered graphs, i.e., graphs with a linear ordering ≺ on their vertex set, and the function f≺(H) = sup{χ(G) | G ∈ Forb≺(H)}, where Forb≺(H) denotes the set of all ordered graphs that do not contain a copy of H. If H contains a cycle, then as ...
متن کاملUniversal Graphs (with Forbidden Subgraphs)
The graph theoretic problem of identifying the finite sets C of constraint graphs for which there is a countable universal C-free graph is closely related to the problem of determining for which sets C the model companion T ∗ C of the theory of C-free graphs is א0-categorical, and this leads back to combinatorics. Little is known about these theories from any other perspective, such as stabilit...
متن کاملForbidden subgraphs and MIN-algorithm for independence number
The well-known greedy algorithm MIN for nding a maximal independent set in a graph G is based on recursively removing the closed neighborhood of a vertex which has (in the currently existing graph) minimum degree. We give a forbidden induced subgraph condition under which algorithm MIN always results in nding a maximum independent set of G, and hence yields the exact value of the independence n...
