A graph G is quasi-brittle if every induced subgraph H of G contains a vertex which is incident to no edge extending symmetrically to a chordless path with three edges in either H or its complement 8. The quasi-britiie graphs turn out to be a natural generalization of the well-known class of brittle

Let S be an arbitrary collection of stars in a graph G such that there is no chain of length ~3 joining the centers of (any) two stars in G. We consider the graphs that can be obtained by deleting in a parity graph all the edges of such a set S. These graphs will be called skeletal graphs and we pro
## Abstract For a positive integer __n__, we introduce the new graph class of __n__βordered graphs, which generalize partial __n__βtrees. Several characterizations are given for the finite __n__βordered graphs, including one via a combinatorial game. We introduce new countably infinite graphs __R__
Fouquet, J.L., A decomposition for a class of (P,, P,)-free graphs, Discrete Mathematics 121 (1993) 75-83. We give a decomposition for a subclass of (P5, P, )-free graphs, leading to an 0(n3) algorithm for the recognition of this class of graphs.
