We show that graphs that do not contain a theta, pyramid, prism, or turtle as an induced subgraph have polynomially many minimal separators. This result is the best possible in the sense that there are graphs with exponentially many minimal separators if only three of the four induced subgraphs are excluded. As a consequence, there is a polynomial time algorithm to solve the maximum weight independent set problem for the class of (theta, pyramid, prism, turtle)-free graphs. Since every prism, theta, and turtle contains an even hole, this also implies a polynomial time algorithm to solve the maximum weight independent set problem for the class of (pyramid, even hole)-free graphs.
Given any graph $H$, a graph $G$ is said to be $q$-Ramsey for $H$ if every coloring of the edges of $G$ with $q$ colors yields a monochromatic subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Further, such a graph $G$ is said to be minimal $q$-Ramsey for $H$ if additiona
A grounded L-graph is the intersection graph of a collection of L shapes whose topmost points belong to a common horizontal line. We prove that every grounded L-graph with clique number $omega$ has chromatic number at most $17omega^4$. This improves
We establish mild conditions under which a possibly irregular, sparse graph $G$ has many strong orientations. Given a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, orient each edge in either direction with probability $1/2$ independently. We show that if $G$ satisfies
In the online labeling problem with parameters n and m we are presented with a sequence of n keys from a totally ordered universe U and must assign each arriving key a label from the label set {1,2,...,m} so that the order of labels (strictly) respec
Let $S(G^sigma)$ be the skew-adjacency matrix of an oriented graph $G^sigma$. The skew energy of $G^sigma$ is defined as the sum of all singular values of its skew-adjacency matrix $S(G^sigma)$. In this paper, we first deduce an integral formula for
