## Abstract A path graph is the intersection graph of subpaths of a tree. In 1970, Renz asked for a characterization of path graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs. We answer this question by determining the complete list of graphs that are not path graphs and are minimal with this property. © 2009

Abstract
Cartesian products of complete graphs are known as Hamming graphs. Using embeddings into Cartesian products of quotient graphs we characterize subgraphs, induced subgraphs, and isometric subgraphs of Hamming graphs. For instance, a graph G is an induced subgraph of a Hamming graph if and only if there exists a labeling of E(G) fulfilling the following two conditions: (i) edges of a triangle receive the same label; (ii) for any vertices u and v at distance at least two, there exist two labels which both appear on any induced u, υ‐path. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

We show that the minimum set of unordered graphs that must be forbidden to get the same graph class characterized by forbidding a single ordered graph is infinite.
## Abstract Let γ(__G__) ι(__G__) be the domination number and independent domination number of a graph (__G__), respectively. A graph (__G__) is called domination perfect if γ(__H__) = ι(__H__), for every induced subgraph __H__ of (__G__). There are many results giving a partial characterization o
A Hamming graph is a Cartesian product of complete graphs. We show that (finite or infinite) quasi-median graphs, which are a generalization of median graphs, are exactly the retracts of Hamming graphs. This generalizes a result of Bandelt (1984,

Let β(G) and Γ(G) be the independence number and the upper domination number of a graph G, respectively. A graph G is called Γ-perfect if β(H) = Γ(H), for every induced subgraph H of G. The class of Γ-perfect graphs generalizes such well-known classes of graphs as strongly perfect graphs, absorbantl
