Bounding the Clique-Width of H-free Split Graphs

چکیده
A graph is H-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to H . We continue a study into the boundedness of clique-width of subclasses of perfect graphs. We identify five new classes of H-free split graphs whose clique-width is bounded. Our main result, obtained by combining new and known results, provides a classification of all but two stubborn cases, that is, with two potential exceptions we determine all graphs H for which the class of H-free split graphs has bounded cliquewidth.

Bounding the Clique-Width of H-free Chordal Graphs
A graph is H-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to H . Brandstädt, Engelfriet, Le and Lozin proved that the class of chordal graphs with independence number at most 3 has unbounded clique-width. Brandstädt, Le and Mosca erroneously claimed that the gem and the co-gem are the only two 1-vertex P4-extensions H for which the class of H-free chordal graphs has bounded clique-width. In fa...
متن کاملBounding Clique-Width via Perfect Graphs
Given two graphs H1 and H2, a graph G is (H1,H2)-free if it contains no subgraph isomorphic to H1 or H2. We continue a recent study into the clique-width of (H1,H2)-free graphs and present three new classes of (H1, H2)-free graphs that have bounded clique-width. We also show the implications of our results for the computational complexity of the Colouring problem restricted to (H1,H2)-free grap...
متن کاملOn Efficient Domination for Some Classes of H-Free Chordal Graphs
A vertex set D in a finite undirected graph G is an efficient dominating set (e.d.s. for short) of G if every vertex of G is dominated by exactly one vertex of D. The Efficient Domination (ED) problem, which asks for the existence of an e.d.s. in G, is known to be NP-complete even for very restricted graph classes such as for 2P3-free chordal graphs while it is solvable in polynomial time for P...
متن کاملClique-Width for Graph Classes Closed under Complementation
Clique-width is an important graph parameter due to its algorithmic and structural properties. A graph class is hereditary if it can be characterized by a (not necessarily finite) set H of forbidden induced subgraphs. We initiate a systematic study into the boundedness of clique-width of hereditary graph classes closed under complementation. First, we extend the known classification for the |H|...
متن کاملColouring Diamond-free Graphs
The Colouring problem is that of deciding, given a graph G and an integer k, whether G admits a (proper) k-colouring. For all graphs H up to five vertices, we classify the computational complexity of Colouring for (diamond, H)-free graphs. Our proof is based on combining known results together with proving that the clique-width is bounded for (diamond, P1+2P2)-free graphs. Our technique for han...
