Four-coloring $P_6$-free graphs. I. Extending an excellent precoloring
This is the first paper in a series whose goal is to give a polynomial time algorithm for the $4$-coloring problem and the $4$-precoloring extension problem restricted to the class of graphs with no induced six-vertex path, thus proving a conjecture of Huang. Combined with previously known results this completes the classification of the complexity of the $4$-coloring problem for graphs with a ...
متن کاملLinearly $\chi$-Bounding $(P_6,C_4)$-Free Graphs
Given two graphs H1 and H2, a graph G is (H1,H2)-free if it contains no subgraph isomorphic to H1 or H2. Let Pt and Cs be the path on t vertices and the cycle on s vertices, respectively. In this paper we show that for any (P6, C4)-free graph G it holds that χ(G) ≤ 3 2 ω(G), where χ(G) and ω(G) are the chromatic number and clique number of G, respectively. Our bound is attained by several graph...
متن کاملComplexity of Coloring Graphs without Paths and Cycles
Let Pt and C` denote a path on t vertices and a cycle on ` vertices, respectively. In this paper we study the k-coloring problem for (Pt, C`)-free graphs. Maffray and Morel, and Bruce, Hoang and Sawada, have proved that 3-colorability of P5-free graphs has a finite forbidden induced subgraphs characterization, while Hoang, Moore, Recoskie, Sawada, and Vatshelle have shown that k-colorability of...
متن کاملStructure and algorithms for (cap, even hole)-free graphs
A graph is even-hole-free if it has no induced even cycles of length 4 or more. A cap is a cycle of length at least 5 with exactly one chord and that chord creates a triangle with the cycle. In this paper, we consider (cap, even hole)-free graphs, and more generally, (cap, 4-hole)-free odd-signable graphs. We give an explicit construction of these graphs. We prove that every such graph G has a ...
متن کاملFilling the Complexity Gaps for Colouring Planar and Bounded Degree Graphs
We consider a natural restriction of the List Colouring problem: k-Regular List Colouring, which corresponds to the List Colouring problem where every list has size exactly k. We give a complete classification of the complexity of k-Regular List Colouring restricted to planar graphs, planar bipartite graphs, planar triangle-free graphs and to planar graphs with no 4-cycles and no 5-cycles. We a...
