A graph is a P 4 -indifference graph if it admits a linear ordering βΊ on its vertices such that every chordless path with vertices a, b, c, d and edges ab, bc, cd has either a βΊ b βΊ c βΊ d or d βΊ c βΊ b βΊ a. P 4 -indifference graphs generalize indifference graphs and are perfectly orderable. We give a
We present a complete description of the set of 4-connected contraction-critical graphs.
It was proved (A. Kotlov and L. LovΓ‘sz, The rank and size of graphs, J. Graph Theory 23 (1996), 185-189) that the number of vertices in a twin-free graph is O(( β 2) r ) where r is the rank of the adjacency matrix. This bound was shown to be tight. We show that the chromatic number of a graph is o(β
