Deciding whether there are infinitely many prime graphs with forbidden induced subgraphs

Discrete Mathematics 2019-01-16 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

A homogeneous set of a graph GG is a set XX of vertices such that 2X<V(G)2\le \lvert X\rvert <\lvert V(G)\rvert and no vertex in V(G)XV(G)-X has both a neighbor and a non-neighbor in XX. A graph is prime if it has no homogeneous set. We present an algorithm to decide whether a class of graphs given by a finite set of forbidden induced subgraphs contains infinitely many non-isomorphic prime graphs.
