Infinite Families of k-Vertex-Critical (, )-Free Graphs
A graph is k-vertex-critical if χ (G)= k but χ (Gv)< k for all v∈ V (G). We construct new infinite
families of k-vertex-critical (P 5, C 5)-free graphs for all k≥ 6. Our construction generalises …

Colouring (Pr + Ps)-Free Graphs
The k-Colouring problem is to decide if the vertices of a graph can be coloured with at most k
colours for a fixed integer k such that no two adjacent vertices are coloured alike. If each …

A refinement on the structure of vertex-critical (P5, gem)-free graphs
We give a new, stronger proof that there are only finitely many k-vertex-critical (P 5, gem)-
free graphs for all k. Our proof further refines the structure of these graphs and allows for the …

H-colouring Pt-free graphs in subexponential time
A graph is called P t-free if it does not contain the path on t vertices as an induced subgraph.
Let H be a multigraph with the property that any two distinct vertices share at most one …

Hamiltonian path and Hamiltonian cycle are solvable in polynomial time in graphs of bounded independence number
N Jedličková, J Kratochvíl - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.09228, 2023 - arxiv.org
A Hamiltonian path (a Hamiltonian cycle) in a graph is a path (a cycle, respectively) that
traverses all of its vertices. The problems of deciding their existence in an input graph are …

Vertex-critical (P3+ ℓP1)-free and vertex-critical (gem, co-gem)-free graphs
A graph G is k-vertex-critical if χ (G)= k but χ (G− v)< k for all v∈ V (G) where χ (G) denotes

M Kamiński, A Pstrucha - Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2019 - Elsevier
Let P k be a path, C ka cycle on k vertices, and K k, ka complete bipartite graph with k
vertices on each side of the bipartition. We prove that (1) for any integers k, t> 0 and a graph …

Computing homomorphisms in hereditary graph classes: the peculiar case of the 5-wheel and graphs with no long claws
For graphs $ G $ and $ H $, an $ H $-coloring of $ G $ is an edge-preserving mapping from
$ V (G) $ to $ V (H) $. In the $ H $-Coloring problem the graph $ H $ is fixed and we ask …
