We prove that every class of graphs $\mathscr C$ that is monadically stable and has bounded twin-width can be transduced from some class with bounded sparse twin-width. This generalizes analogous results for classes of bounded linear…

In this paper, we characterise graphs that are quasi-isometric to graphs with bounded treewidth. Specifically, we prove that a graph is quasi-isometric to a graph with bounded treewidth if and only if it has a tree-decomposition where each…

A graph is said to be well-covered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same size. In 1999, Yamashita and Kameda introduced a subclass of well-covered graphs, called localizable graphs and defined as graphs having a partition of…

We study the complexity of the Graph Isomorphism problem on graph classes that are characterized by a finite number of forbidden induced subgraphs, focusing mostly on the case of two forbidden subgraphs. We show hardness results and develop…

We study some properties of graphs (or, rather, graph sequences) defined by demanding that the number of subgraphs of a given type, with vertices in subsets of given sizes, approximatively equals the number expected in a random graph. It…

Given two graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, a graph $G$ is $(H_1,H_2)$-free if it contains no subgraph isomorphic to $H_1$ or $H_2$. We continue a recent study into the clique-width of $(H_1,H_2)$-free graphs and present three new classes of…

We study two notions of being well-structured for classes of graphs that are inspired by classic model theory. A class of graphs $C$ is monadically stable if it is impossible to define arbitrarily long linear orders in vertex-colored graphs…

We continue the study of $(tw,\omega)$-bounded graph classes, that is, hereditary graph classes in which large treewidth is witnessed by the presence of a large clique, and the relation of this property to boundedness of the…

The juxtaposition of permutation classes $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ is the class of all permutations formed by concatenations $\sigma\tau$, such that $\sigma$ is order isomorphic to a permutation in $\mathcal{C}$, and $\tau$ to a…

A graph is said to be well-dominated if all its minimal dominating sets are of the same size. The class of well-dominated graphs forms a subclass of the well studied class of well-covered graphs. While the recognition problem for the class…

We prove some results concerning Alcuin number of graphs. First, we classify graphs which have unique minimum vertex cover. Then we present two necessary conditions for a graph to be of class two and show why one of them (condition on…

A large number of NP-hard graph problems become polynomial-time solvable on graph classes where the mim-width is bounded and quickly computable. Hence, when solving such problems on special graph classes, it is helpful to know whether the…

We introduce a new subclass of chordal graphs that generalizes split graphs, which we call well-partitioned chordal graphs. Split graphs are graphs that admit a partition of the vertex set into cliques that can be arranged in a star…

We generalize the notion of quasirandom which concerns a class of equivalent properties that random graphs satisfy. We show that the convergence of a graph sequence under the spectral distance is equivalent to the convergence using the…

Although the chromatic number of a graph is not known in general, attempts have been made to find good bounds for the number. Here we prove that for a graph G with two forbidden subgraphs and maximum degree less than or equal to 2{\omega} -…

The class of closed graphs by a linear ordering on their sets of vertices is investigated. A recent characterization of such a class of graphs is analyzed by using tools from the proper interval graph theory.

Suppose a graph has no large balanced bicliques, but has large minimum degree. Then what can we say about its induced subgraphs? This question motivates the study of degree-boundedness, which is like $\chi$-boundedness but for minimum…

In 2006 Qian [J. Qian, Degree complete graphs; Discrete Mathematics 306 (2006), 533--537] introduced the concept of degree complete graphs for labeled graphs. He also gave a characterization of these graphs in terms of two forbidden…

Motivated by the question of whether planar graphs have bounded queue-number, we prove that planar graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ have queue-number $O(\Delta^{2})$, which improves upon the best previous bound of $O(\Delta^6)$. More…

The sparsity order of a (simple undirected) graph is the highest possible rank (over ${\mathbb R}$ or ${\mathbb C}$) of the extremal elements in the matrix cone that consists of positive semidefinite matrices with prescribed zeros on the…
