3-Colorability ∈P for P6-free graphs
✍ Bert Randerath; Ingo Schiermeyer 📂 Article 📅 2004 🏛 Elsevier Science 🌐 English ⚖ 337 KB

In this paper, we study a chromatic aspect for the class of P6-free graphs. Here, the focus of our interest are graph classes (deÿned in terms of forbidden induced subgraphs) for which the question of 3-colorability can be decided in polynomial time and, if so, a proper 3-coloring can be determined

## Abstract We derive decomposition theorems for __P__~6~, __K__~1~ + __P__~4~‐free graphs, __P__~5~, __K__~1~ + __P__~4~‐free graphs and __P__~5~, __K__~1~ + __C__~4~‐free graphs, and deduce linear χ‐binding functions for these classes of graphs (here, __P__~__n__~ (__C__~__n__~) denotes the path

The P 3 -graph of a finite simple graph G is the graph whose vertices are the 3-vertex paths of G, with adjacency between two such paths whenever their union is a 4-vertex path or a 3-cycle. In this paper we show that connected finite simple graphs G and H with isomorphic P 3 -graphs are either isom

## Abstract We show that every 3‐connected claw‐free graph which contains no induced copy of __P__~11~ is hamiltonian. Since there exist non‐hamiltonian 3‐connected claw‐free graphs without induced copies of __P__~12~ this result is, in a way, best possible. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph T
