TLDR
An O ( n 3 ) algorithm to find a minimum weighted coloring of a ( P 5 , P � 5 )-free graph is designed and can be used to solve the same problem for several classes of graphs, defined by forbidden induced subgraphs, such as (diamond, co-diamond)-free graphs.

A Survey on the Computational Complexity of Coloring Graphs with Forbidden Subgraphs

TL;DR: In this article, the authors survey known results on the computational complexity of k-coloring and k-COLORING for graph classes that are characterized by one or two forbidden induced subgraphs, and also consider a number of variants: for example, where the problem is to extend a partial coloring, or where lists of permissible colors are given for each vertex.

Clique-Width of Graph Classes Defined by Two Forbidden Induced Subgraphs

TL;DR: This work considers classes characterized by forbidding a finite family of graphs as subgraphs, minors and topological minors, respectively, and completely determine which of these classes have bounded clique-width.

Colouring diamond-free graphs.

TL;DR: The technique for handling this case is to reduce the graph under consideration to a $k$-partite graph that has a very specific decomposition, and this work is able to prove boundedness of clique-width for four other new classes of $(H_1,H_2)$-free graphs.

The ellipsoid method and its consequences in combinatorial optimization

TL;DR: The method yields polynomial algorithms for vertex packing in perfect graphs, for the matching and matroid intersection problems, for optimum covering of directed cuts of a digraph, and for the minimum value of a submodular set function.

Modular decomposition and transitive orientation

TL;DR: This work gives O(n+m) algorithms for modular decomposition and transitive orientation, where n and m are the number of vertices and edges of the graph and linear time bounds for recognizing permutation graphs, maximum clique and minimum vertex coloring on comparability graphs, and other combinatorial problems on comparable graphs and their complements.

A New Linear Algorithm for Modular Decomposition

TL;DR: This work presents a new algorithm linear in time and space complexity for Modular Decomposition that builds and explores the decomposition tree of any undirected graph in a depth-first search way and shows that a vertex-splitting operation is really a central tool for modular decomposition algorithms.

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.
