A survey of ‐boundedness

A Scott, P Seymour - Journal of Graph Theory, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
If a graph has bounded clique number and sufficiently large chromatic number, what can we
say about its induced subgraphs? András Gyárfás made a number of challenging …

Polynomial -Binding Functions and Forbidden Induced Subgraphs: A Survey

I Schiermeyer, B Randerath - Graphs and Combinatorics, 2019 - Springer
A graph G with clique number ω (G) ω (G) and chromatic number χ (G) χ (G) is perfect if χ
(H)= ω (H) χ (H)= ω (H) for every induced subgraph H of G. A family GG of graphs is called χ …

Induced subgraphs and tree decompositions I. Even-hole-free graphs of bounded degree

T Abrishami, M Chudnovsky, K Vušković - Journal of Combinatorial Theory …, 2022 - Elsevier
Treewidth is a parameter that emerged from the study of minor closed classes of graphs (ie
classes closed under vertex and edge deletion, and edge contraction). It in some sense …

[HTML][HTML] Structure and algorithms for (cap, even hole)-free graphs

K Cameron, MVG da Silva, S Huang, K Vušković - Discrete Mathematics, 2018 - Elsevier
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 …

Even-hole-free graphs: a survey

K Vušković - Applicable Analysis and Discrete Mathematics, 2010 - JSTOR
The class of even-hole-free graphs is structurally quite similar to the class of perfect graphs,
which was the key initial motivation for their study. The techniques developed in the study of …

Tree Independence Number IV. Even-hole-free Graphs

M Chudnovsky, P Gartland, S Hajebi… - Proceedings of the 2025 …, 2025 - SIAM
We prove that the tree independence number of every even-hole-free graph is at most
polylogarithmic in its number of vertices. More explicitly, we prove that there exists a …

Square-free graphs with no six-vertex induced path

T Karthick, F Maffray - SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2019 - SIAM
We elucidate the structure of (P_6,C_4)-free graphs by showing that every such graph either
has a clique cutset, or a universal vertex, or belongs to several special classes of graphs …

Three-in-a-tree in near linear time

KY Lai, HI Lu, M Thorup - Proceedings of the 52nd Annual ACM SIGACT …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
The three-in-a-tree problem is to determine if a simple undirected graph contains an induced
subgraph which is a tree connecting three given vertices. Based on a beautiful …

An optimal ‐bound for (, diamond)‐free graphs

K Cameron, S Huang, O Merkel - Journal of Graph Theory, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper we show that every (P 6, diamond)‐free graph G satisfies χ (G)≤ ω (G)+ 3,
where χ (G) and ω (G) are the chromatic number and clique number of G, respectively. Our …

Even-hole-free graphs still have bisimplicial vertices

M Chudnovsky, P Seymour - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 2023 - Elsevier
A hole in a graph is an induced subgraph which is a cycle of length at least four. A hole is
called even if it has an even number of vertices. An even-hole-free graph is a graph with no …
