A class $\mathcal G$ of graphs is $\chi$-bounded if there is a function $f$ such that for every graph $G\in \mathcal G$ and every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$, $\chi(H)\le f(\omega(H))$. In addition, we say that $\mathcal G$ is polynomially…
In the paper [J. Graph Theory (2023) 102:458-471, the Esperet's conjecture has been posed: Every $\chi$-bounded hereditary class is poly-$\chi$-bounded]. This conjecture was first posed in [Habilitation Thesis, Universit\'e Grenoble Alpes,…
Chudnovsky, Cook, Davies, and Oum introduced the notion of Pollyanna graph classes: a class $\mathcal{C}$ is Pollyanna if for every $\chi$-bounded class $\mathcal{F}$, the intersection $\mathcal{C} \cap \mathcal{F}$ is polynomially…
A class $\mathcal{G}$ of graphs is said to be {\em $\chi$-bounded} if there is a function $f:\mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that for all $G \in \mathcal{G}$ and all induced subgraphs $H$ of $G$, $\chi(H) \leq f(\omega(H))$. In this…

A class of graphs is $\chi$-bounded if there is a function $f$ such that every graph $G$ in the class has chromatic number at most $f(\omega(G))$, where $\omega(G)$ is the clique number of $G$; the class is polynomially $\chi$-bounded if…

We prove that if $\mathcal{C}$ is a hereditary class of graphs that is polynomially $\chi$-bounded, then the class of graphs that admit decompositions into pieces belonging to $\mathcal{C}$ along cuts of bounded rank is also polynomially…
A class of graphs is $\chi$-bounded if there exists a function $f:\mathbb N\rightarrow \mathbb N$ such that for every graph $G$ in the class and an induced subgraph $H$ of $G$, if $H$ has no clique of size $q+1$, then the chromatic number…
Extending the idea from the recent paper by Carbonero, Hompe, Moore, and Spirkl, for every function $f\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$ with $f(1)=1$ and $f(n)\geq\binom{3n+1}{3}$, we construct a hereditary class of graphs…
For a graph $G$, $\chi(G)$ denotes the chromatic number of $G$ and $\omega(G)$ denotes the size of the largest clique in $G$. A hereditary class of graphs is called $\chi$-bounded if there is a function $f$ such that for each graph $G$ in…
A hereditary class of graphs $\mathcal{G}$ is \emph{$\chi$-bounded} if there exists a function $f$ such that every graph $G \in \mathcal{G}$ satisfies $\chi(G) \leq f(\omega(G))$, where $\chi(G)$ and $\omega(G)$ are the chromatic number and…
We use $P_t$ and $C_t$ to denote a path and a cycle on $t$ vertices, respectively. A {\em bull} is a graph consisting of a triangle with two disjoint pendant edges, a {\em hammer} is a graph obtained by identifying an endvertex of a $P_3$…
Given $k$ graphs $G_{1}, \ldots, G_{k}$, their intersection is the graph $(\cap_{i\in [k]}V(G_{i}), \cap_{i\in [k]}E(G_{i}))$. Given $k$ graph classes $\mathcal{G}_{1}, \ldots , \mathcal{G}_{k}$, we call the class $\{G: \forall i \in[k],…

For any graph $G$, the First-Fit (or Grundy) chromatic number of $G$, denoted by $\chi_{_{\sf FF}}(G)$, is defined as the maximum number of colors used by the First-Fit (greedy) coloring of the vertices of $G$. We call a family…
The {\em disjointness graph} of a set system is a graph whose vertices are the sets, two being connected by an edge if and only if they are disjoint. It is known that the disjointness graph $G$ of any system of segments in the plane is {\em…
