A class $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs is $\chi$-bounded if there is a function $f$ such that $\chi(H)\le f(\omega(H))$ for all induced subgraphs $H$ of a graph in $\mathcal{F}$. If $f$ can be chosen to be a polynomial, we say that $\mathcal{F}$…

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…

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 $P_3$…

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,…

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…

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…

For a graph $G$, $\chi(G)$ will denote its chromatic number, and $\omega(G)$ its clique number. A graph $G$ is said to be perfectly divisible if for all induced subgraphs $H$ of $G$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into two sets $A$, $B$ such…

In this paper, we establish that the class of $\{P_6, (2,2)\text{-broom}\}$-free graphs contains a subclass $\mathcal{L}_i$, defined by certain cutset conditions, whose chromatic number admits a linear $\chi$-bound. Building on recent…

A hereditary class $\cal G$ of graphs is {\em $\chi$-bounded} if there is a {\em $\chi$-binding function}, say $f$, such that $\chi(G)\le f(\omega(G))$ for every $G\in\cal G$, where $\chi(G)(\omega(G))$ denotes the chromatic (clique) number…

A class of graphs closed under taking induced subgraphs is $\chi$-bounded if there exists a function $f$ such that for all graphs $G$ in the class, $\chi(G) \leq f(\omega(G))$. We consider the following question initially studied in [A.…

We prove a conjecture of Bonamy, Bousquet, Pilipczuk, Rz\k{a}\.zewski, Thomass\'e, and Walczak, that for every graph $H$, there is a polynomial $p$ such that for every positive integer $s$, every graph of average degree at least $p(s)$…

The $k$-Coloring problem on hereditary graph classes has been a deeply researched problem over the last decade. A hereditary graph class is characterized by a (possibly infinite) list of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs. We say that a…

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 H of graphs is $\chi$-bounded if there is a $\chi$-binding function f such that for every $G$ in $H$, $\chi(G)$ less than or equal to $f(\omega(G))$. Here we prove that if a graph $G$ is free of 1. {Chair; P$_4$+K$_1$} or…
