چکیده

It is well known that the comparability graph of any partially ordered set of n elements contains either a clique or an independent set of size at least pn. In this note we show that any graph of n vertices which is the union of two comparability graphs on the same vertex set, contains either a clique or an independent set of size at least n 13 . On the other hand, there exist such graphs for which the size of any clique or independent set is at most n0:4118. Similar results are obtained for graphs which are unions of a xed number k comparability graphs. We also show that the same bounds hold for unions of perfect graphs.

Ramsey-type results for unions of comparability graphs and convex sets inrestricted position

A graph on n vertices which is the union of two comparability graphs on the same vertex set, always contains a clique or independent set of size n 1 3 . On the other hand, there exist such graphs for which the largest clique and independent set are of size at most n. Similar results are obtained for graphs which are a union of a fixed number k of comparability graphs. We also show that the same...

The Ramsey property for collections of sequences not containing all arithmetic progressions

A familyB of sequences has the Ramsey property if for every positive integer k, there exists a least positive integer fB(k) such that for every 2-coloring of f1;2; : : : ; fB(k)g there is a monochromatic k-term member of B. For fixed integers m > 1 and 0 q < m, let Bq(m) be the collection of those increasing sequences of positive integers fx1; : : : ;xkg such that xi+1 xi q(mod m) for 1 i k 1. ...

All Ramsey (2K2,C4)−Minimal Graphs

Let F, G and H be non-empty graphs. The notation F → (G,H) means that if any edge of F is colored by red or blue, then either the red subgraph of F con- tains a graph G or the blue subgraph of F contains a graph H. A graph F (without isolated vertices) is called a Ramsey (G,H)−minimal if F → (G,H) and for every e ∈ E(F), (F − e) 9 (G,H). The set of all Ramsey (G,H)−minimal graphs is denoted by ...

Finite Induced Graph Ramsey Theory: On Partitions of Subgraphs

For given finite (unordered) graphs G and H, we examine the existence of a Ramsey graph F for which the strong Ramsey arrow F −→ (G)r holds. We concentrate on the situation when H is not a complete graph. The set of graphs G for which there exists an F satisfying F −→ (G)2 2 (P2 is a path on 3 vertices) is found to be the union of the set of chordal comparability graphs together with the set of...

Finding Independent Sets in Unions of Perfect Graphs

Themaximum independent set problem (MAXIS) on general graphs is known to beNPhard to approximate within a factor of n1−ǫ, for any ǫ > 0. However, there are many “easy” classes of graphs on which the problem can be solved in polynomial time. In this context, an interesting question is that of computing the maximum independent set in a graph that can be expressed as the union of a small number of...
