Given a property P of graphs, write P for the set of graphs with vertex set [n] having property P. The growth or speed of a property P can be discussed in terms of the values of |P|. For properties with |P|<n hereditary properties are surprisingly well determined by their speeds. Sharpening results of E. R. Scheinerman and J. Zito (1994, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 61, 16 39), we prove numerous re...
