چکیده
7 A homogeneous set of a graph G is a set X of vertices such that 2 ≤ |X| < |V (G)| 8 and no vertex in V (G) − X has both a neighbor and a non-neighbor in X. A graph 9 is prime if it has no homogeneous set. We present an algorithm to decide whether a 10 class of graphs given by a finite set of forbidden induced subgraphs contains infinitely 11 many non-isomorphic prime graphs. 12

Well-Quasi-Ordering versus Clique-Width: New Results on Bigenic Classes
Daligault, Rao and Thomassé asked whether a hereditary class of graphs well-quasi-ordered by the induced subgraph relation has bounded clique-width. Lozin, Razgon and Zamaraev recently showed that this is not true for classes defined by infinitely many forbidden induced subgraphs. However, in the case of finitely many forbidden induced subgraphs the question remains open and we conjecture that ...
متن کاملDeciding the Bell Number for Hereditary Graph Properties - (Extended Abstract)
A graph property is a set of graphs closed under isomorphism. A property is hereditary if it is closed under taking induced subgraphs. Given a graph property X , we write Xn for the number of graphs in X with vertex set {1, 2, . . . , n} and following [1] we call Xn the speed of the property X . The paper [2] identifies a jump in the speed of hereditary graph properties to the Bell number Bn an...
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...
متن کاملMinimal forbidden subgraphs of reducible graph properties
A property of graphs is any class of graphs closed under isomorphism. Let P1,P2, . . . ,Pn be properties of graphs. A graph G is (P1,P2, . . . ,Pn)-partitionable if the vertex set V (G) can be partitioned into n sets, {V1, V2, . . . , Vn}, such that for each i = 1, 2, . . . , n, the graph G[Vi] ∈ Pi. We write P1◦P2◦ · · · ◦Pn for the property of all graphs which have a (P1,P2, . . . ,Pn)-partit...
متن کاملClique-Width and Well-Quasi-Ordering of Triangle-Free Graph Classes
Daligault, Rao and Thomassé asked whether every hereditary graph class that is well-quasi-ordered by the induced subgraph relation has bounded clique-width. Lozin, Razgon and Zamaraev (JCTB 2017+) gave a negative answer to this question, but their counterexample is a class that can only be characterised by infinitely many forbidden induced subgraphs. This raises the issue of whether the questio...
