As usual, $P_n$ ($n geq 1$) denotes the path on $n$ vertices, and $C_n$ ($n geq 3$) denotes the cycle on $n$ vertices. For a family $mathcal{H}$ of graphs, we say that a graph $G$ is $mathcal{H}$-free if no induced subgraph of $G$ is isomorphic to any graph in $mathcal{H}$. We present a decomposition theorem for the class of $(P_7,C_4,C_5)$-free graphs; in fact, we give a complete structural characterization of $(P_7,C_4,C_5)$-free graphs that do not admit a clique-cutset. We use this decomposition theorem to show that the class of $(P_7,C_4,C_5)$-free graphs is $chi$-bounded by a linear function (more precisely, every $(P_7,C_4,C_5)$-free graph $G$ satisfies $chi(G) leq frac{3}{2} omega(G)$). We also use the decomposition theorem to construct an $O(n^3)$ algorithm for the minimum coloring problem, an $O(n^2m)$ algorithm for the maximum weight stable set problem, and an $O(n^3)$ algorithm for the maximum weight clique problem for this class, where $n$ denotes the number of vertices and $m$ the number of edges of the input graph.
Let $G$ be a ${C_4, C_5}$-free planar graph with a list assignment $L$. Suppose a preferred color is given for some of the vertices. We prove that if all lists have size at least four, then there exists an $L$-coloring respecting at least a constant fraction of the preferences.
For which graphs $F$ is there a sparse $F$-counting lemma in $C_4$-free graphs? We are interested in identifying graphs $F$ with the property that, roughly speaking, if $G$ is an $n$-vertex $C_4$-free graph with on the order of $n^{3/2}$ edges, then
We introduce a new approach and prove that the maximum number of triangles in a $C_5$-free graph on $n$ vertices is at most $$(1 + o(1)) frac{1}{3 sqrt 2} n^{3/2}.$$ We also show a connection to $r$-uniform hypergraphs without (Berge) cycles of lengt
In 1967, ErdH{o}s asked for the greatest chromatic number, $f(n)$, amongst all $n$-vertex, triangle-free graphs. An observation of ErdH{o}s and Hajnal together with Shearers classical upper bound for the off-diagonal Ramsey number $R(3, t)$ shows tha
Given two graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, a graph $G$ is $(H_1,H_2)$-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H_1$ or $H_2$. Let $P_t$ be the path on $t$ vertices and $K_t$ be the complete graph on $t$ vertices. The diamond is the graph obtaine
