An even hole is an induced chordless cycle of even length at least four. A diamond is an induced subgraph isomorphic to K_4-e. We show that graphs without even holes and without diamonds can be decomposed via clique-separators into graphs…
We consider the class of (C4, diamond)-free graphs; graphs in this class do not contain a C4 or a diamond as an induced subgraph. We provide an efficient recognition algorithm for this class. We count the number of maximal cliques in a (C4,…
A hole is a chordless cycle with at least four vertices. A hole is odd if it has an odd number of vertices. A dart is a graph which vertices $a, b, c, d, e$ and edges $ab, bc, bd, be, cd, de$. Dart-free graphs have been actively studied in…
Given two graphs $H_1$ and $H_2$, a graph is $(H_1,\,H_2)$-free if it contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H_1$ or $H_2$. For a positive integer $t$, $P_t$ is the chordless path on $t$ vertices. A paraglider is the graph that…
Let $P_t$ and $C_t$ be a path and a cycle on $t$ vertices, respectively. In 2021, Choudum {\em et al.} [Disc. Math. 344 (2021) 112244] determined the structures of $(P_7,C_7,C_4$, diamond)-free and $(P_7,C_7,C_4$, gem)-frees, and gave…
A $hole$ is an induced cycle of length at least four, and an odd hole is a hole of odd length. A {\em fork} is a graph obtained from $K_{1,3}$ by subdividing an edge once. An {\em odd balloon} is a graph obtained from an odd hole by…
A paraglider, house, 4-wheel, is the graph that consists of a cycle $C_4$ plus an additional vertex adjacent to three vertices, two adjacent vertices, all the vertices of the $C_4$, respectively. For a graph $G$, let $\chi(G)$, $\omega(G)$…
We give a structural description of the class $\cal C$ of graphs that do not contain a cycle with a unique chord as an induced subgraph. Our main theorem states that any connected graph in $\cal C$ is either in some simple basic class or…
Chordal graphs are the graphs in which every cycle of length at least four has a chord. A set $S$ is a vertex separator for vertices $a$ and $b$ if the removal of $S$ of the graph separates $a$ and $b$ into distinct connected components. A…
A graph is $H$-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Brandst\"adt, Engelfriet, Le and Lozin proved that the class of chordal graphs with independence number at most 3 has unbounded clique-width. Brandst\"adt, Le and Mosca…
A hole is a chordless cycle with at least four vertices. A pan is a graph which consists of a hole and a single vertex with precisely one neighbor on the hole. An even hole is a hole with an even number of vertices. We prove that a (pan,…
A diamond is the graph that is obtained from removing an edge from the complete graph on $4$ vertices. A ($C_4$,diamond)-free graph is a graph that does not contain a diamond or a cycle on four vertices as induced subgraphs. Let $G$ be a…
A theta is a graph formed by three paths between the same pair of distinct vertices so that the union of any two of the paths induces a hole. A wheel is a graph formed by a hole and a node that has at least 3 neighbors in the hole. In this…
An {\em odd hole} in a graph is an induced subgraph which is a cycle of odd length at least five. An {\em odd parachute} is a graph obtained from an odd hole $H$ by adding a new edge $uv$ such that $x$ is adjacent to $u$ but not to $v$ for…
A hole in a graph is a chordless cycle of length at least 4. A theta is a graph formed by three paths between the same pair of distinct vertices so that the union of any two of the paths induces a hole. A wheel is a graph formed by a hole…
A set $X$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is called a {\em clique cut} of $G$ if the subgraph of $G$ induced by $X$ is a complete graph and the number of connected components of $G-X$ is greater than that of $G$. A clique cut $X$ of $G$ is…
A strong clique in a graph is a clique intersecting all inclusion-maximal stable sets. Strong cliques play an important role in the study of perfect graphs. We study strong cliques in the class of diamond-free graphs, from both structural…
A graph is $H$-free if it does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. The diamond graph is the graph obtained from $K_4$ by deleting one edge. We prove that if $G$ is a connected graph with order $n\geq 10$, then there exists a subset $S\subseteq…
Let $G$ be a graph. We use $P_t$ and $C_t$ to denote a path and a cycle on $t$ vertices, respectively. A {\em diamond} is a graph obtained from two triangles that share exactly one edge. A {\em kite} is a graph consists of a diamond and…
A graph is even-hole-free if it has no induced even cycles of length 4 or more. A cap is a cycle of length at least 5 with exactly one chord and that chord creates a triangle with the cycle. In this paper, we consider (cap, even hole)-free…
