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 the doubly-exponential bound of McGuinness and generalizes the recent result that the class of circle graphs is polynomially $chi$-bounded. We also survey $chi$-boundedness problems for grounded geometric intersection graphs and give a high-level overview of recent techniques to obtain polynomial bounds.
It is proved that triangle-free intersection graphs of $n$ L-shapes in the plane have chromatic number $O(loglog n)$. This improves the previous bound of $O(log n)$ (McGuinness, 1996) and matches the known lower bound construction (Pawlik et al., 2013).
By using the Szemeredi Regularity Lemma, Alon and Sudakov recently extended the classical Andrasfai-Erd~os-Sos theorem to cover general graphs. We prove, without using the Regularity Lemma, that the following stronger statement is true. Given any (r-
For $kgeq 1$, a $k$-colouring $c$ of $G$ is a mapping from $V(G)$ to ${1,2,ldots,k}$ such that $c(u) eq c(v)$ for any two non-adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$. The $k$-Colouring problem is to decide if a graph $G$ has a $k$-colouring. For a family of gr
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 separator
A famous conjecture of Gyarfas and Sumner states for any tree $T$ and integer $k$, if the chromatic number of a graph is large enough, either the graph contains a clique of size $k$ or it contains $T$ as an induced subgraph. We discuss some results a
