TLDR
In this paper, the problem of finding any given type of connected dominating sets in all members of a classG of graphs can be reduced to the graphsG∈G that have a cut-vertex or do not contain any cutsetS dominated by somes∈S.
Abstract
All induced connected subgraphs of a graphG contain a dominating set of pair-wise adjacent vertices if and only if there is no induced subgraph isomorphic to a path or a cycle of five vertices inG. Moreover, the problem of finding any given type of connected dominating sets in all members of a classG of graphs can be reduced to the graphsG∈G that have a cut-vertex or do not contain any cutsetS dominated by somes∈S.

Deciding k -Colorability of P 5 -Free Graphs in Polynomial Time

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for every fixed integer k, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm for determining whether a P5-free graph admits a k-coloring, and finding one, if it does.

Vertex Colouring and Forbidden Subgraphs – A Survey

TL;DR: This work surveys results on vertex colourings of graphs defined in terms of forbidden induced subgraph conditions in order to obtain useful results from a graph coloring formulation of his problem.

Precoloring extension. ii. graphs classes related to bipartite graphs

Mihály Hujter, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the complexity status of precoloring extendibility on some graph classes which are related to bipartite graphs was investigated, giving a complete solution for graphs with co-chromatic number 2, i.e., admitting a parti- tion V = V 1 (V 2 of the vertex set V such that each V i induces a complete subgraph or an independent set.

On a property of the class of n-colorable graphs

TL;DR: In this paper, a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to be n-colorable was derived from a lower bound on the chromatic number of points in a complete subgraph.

Star-cutsets and perfect graphs

TL;DR: This work first establishes a certain property of minimal imperfect graphs and then uses it to generate large classes of perfect graphs, which are then used to establish and generate large numbers of minimal perfect graphs.

The maximum number of edges in 2 K 2 -free graphs of bounded degree

TL;DR: It is shown that if G is 2K2-free and has maximum degree Δ(G)=D, then G has at most 5D24 edges if D is even, and this bound can be improved to (5D2−2D+1)4.

On domination problems for permutation and other graphs

TL;DR: An algorithm with time bound O ( n 2 ) for the weighted independent domination problem on permutation graphs and an investigation of (weighted) dominating clique problems for several graph classes including an NP-completeness result for weakly triangulated graphs as well as polynomial time bounds are given.
