Universal Graphs (with Forbidden Subgraphs)
نویسنده
چکیده
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 stability theory.

Forbidden Subgraphs for Planar Blict and Blitact Graphs
Many graphs which are encountered in the study of graph theory are characterized by a type of configuration or subgraphs 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. Such subgraphs are called forbidden subgraphs. In this paper, we present characterizations of graphs whose blict and bl...
متن کاملBlack-and-White Threshold Graphs
Let k be a natural number. We introduce k-threshold graphs. We show that there exists anO(n) algorithm for the recognition of k-threshold graphs for each natural number k. k-Threshold graphs are characterized by a finite collection of forbidden induced subgraphs. For the case k = 2 we characterize the partitioned 2threshold graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs. We introduce restricted, and spe...
متن کاملPartial Characterizations of Circle Graphs
A circle graph is the intersection graph of a family of chords on a circle. There is no known characterization of circle graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs that do not involve the notions of local equivalence or pivoting operations. We characterize circle graphs by a list of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs when the graph belongs to one of the following classes: linear domino graphs, P4-t...
متن کاملMinimal forbidden induced subgraphs of graphs of bounded clique-width and bounded linear clique-width
In the study of full bubble model graphs of bounded clique-width and bounded linear clique-width, we determined complete sets of forbidden induced subgraphs, that are minimal in the class of full bubble model graphs. In this note, we show that (almost all of) these graphs are minimal in the class of all graphs. As a corollary, we can give sets of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs for graphs o...
متن کاملOn-Line 3-Chromatic Graphs I. Triangle-Free Graphs
This is the first half of a two-part paper devoted to on-line 3-colorable graphs. Here on-line 3-colorable triangle-free graphs are characterized by a finite list of forbidden induced subgraphs. The key role in our approach is played by the family of graphs which are both triangleand (2K2 + K1)-free. Characterization of this family is given by introducing a bipartite modular decomposition conce...
