Coloring of (P5, 4-wheel)-free graphs

نویسندگان

چکیده

For a graph G, χ(G) (ω(G)) denote its chromatic (clique) number. A P5 is the chordless path on five vertices, and 4-wheel consisting of cycle four vertices C4 plus an additional vertex adjacent to all C4. In this paper, we show that every (P5, 4-wheel)-free G satisfies χ(G)≤32ω(G). Moreover, bound almost tight. That is, there class graphs L such H∈L χ(H)≥107ω(H). This generalizes/improves several previously known results in literature.

Weighted Parameters in (P5, P5)-free Graphs

We use the modular decomposition to give O(n(m + n)) algorithms for finding a maximum weighted clique (respectively stable set) and an approximate weighted colouring (respectively partition into cliques) in a (P5, P5)-free graph. As a by-product, we obtain an O(m+n) algorithm for finding a minimum weighted transversal of the C5 in a (P5, P5)free graph.

Choosability of P5-Free Graphs

A graph is k-choosable if it admits a proper coloring of its vertices for every assignment of k (possibly different) allowed colors to choose from for each vertex. It is NP-hard to decide whether a given graph is k-choosable for k ≥ 3, and this problem is considered strictly harder than the k-coloring problem. Only few positive results are known on input graphs with a given structure. Here, we ...

On (P5, diamond)-free graphs

We study the stability number, chromatic number and clique cover of graphs with no induced P5 and diamonds. In particular, we provide a way to obtain all imperfect (P5, diamond)-free graphs by iterated point multiplication or substitution from a /nite collection of small basic graphs. Corollaries of this and other structural properties, among which a result of Bacs1 o and Tuza, are (i) combinat...

Wheel-free planar graphs

A wheel is a graph formed by a chordless cycle C and a vertex u not in C that has at least three neighbors in C. We prove that every 3-connected planar graph that does not contain a wheel as an induced subgraph is either a line graph or has a clique cutset. We prove that every planar graph that does not contain a wheel as an induced subgraph is 3-colorable. AMS classification: 05C75 ∗Partially ...

Constructions of k-critical P5-free graphs

4 With respect to a class C of graphs, a graph G ∈ C is said to be k-critical if every proper 5 subgraph of G belonging to C is k−1 colorable. We construct an infinite set of k-critical P56 free graphs for every k ≥ 5. We also prove that there are exactly eight 5-critical {P5, C5}-free 7 graphs. 8
