چکیده

Let C be a finite connected graph for which there is a countable universal C-free graph, and whose tree of blocks is a path. Then the blocks of C are complete. This generalizes a result of Füredi and Komjáth, and fits naturally into a set of conjectures regarding the existence of countable C-free graphs, with C an arbitrary finite connected graph.

From Path Graphs to Directed Path Graphs

We present a linear time algorithm to greedily orient the edges of a path graph model to obtain a directed path graph model (when possible). Moreover we extend this algorithm to find an odd sun when the method fails. This algorithm has several interesting consequences concerning the relationship between path graphs and directed path graphs. One is that for a directed path graph, path graph mode...

Heavy subgraph pairs for traceability of block-chains

A graph is called traceable if it contains a Hamilton path, i.e., a pathcontaining all its vertices. Let G be a graph on n vertices. We say that aninduced subgraph of G is o−1-heavy if it contains two nonadjacent verticeswhich satisfy an Ore-type degree condition for traceability, i.e., with degreesum at least n−1 in G. A block-chain is a graph whose block graph is a path,<l...

Characterization of graphs dominated by induced paths

We give a characterization, in terms of forbidden induced subgraphs, of those graphs in which every connected induced subgraph has a dominating induced path on at most k vertices (k 3). We show, in particular, that k = 4 means precisely the class of domination-reducible graphs, whose original definition applied four types of structural reduction. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Universal graphs with a forbidden subtree

The systematic investigation of countable universal graphs with “forbidden” subgraphs was initiated in [13], followed by [12]. If C is a finite connected graph, then a graph G is C-free if it contains no subgraph isomorphic to C. A countable C-free graph G is weakly universal if every countable C-free graph is isomorphic to a subgraph of G, and strongly universal if every such graph is isomorph...

On minimal forbidden subgraph characterizations of balanced graphs

A graph is balanced if its clique-matrix contains no edge-vertex incidence matrix of an odd chordless cycle as a submatrix. While a forbidden induced subgraph characterization of balanced graphs is known, there is no such characterization by minimal forbidden induced subgraphs. In this work, we provide minimal forbidden induced subgraph characterizations of balanced graphs restricted to graphs ...
