Let α(G), γ(G), and i(G) be the independence number, the domination number, and the independent domination number of a graph G, respectively. For any k ≥ 0, we define the following hereditary classes: αi where ISub(G) is the set of all induced subgraphs of a graph G. In this article, we present a f

Abstract
The concept of the line graph can be generalized as follows. The k‐line graph L~k~(G) of a graph G is defined as a graph whose vertices are the complete subgraphs on k vertices in G. Two distinct such complete subgraphs are adjacent in L~k~(G) if and only if they have in G k − 1 vertices in common. The concept of the total graph can be generalized similarly. Then the Perfect Graph Conjecture will be proved for 3‐line graphs and 3‐total graphs. Moreover, perfect 3‐line graphs are not contained in any of the known classes of perfect graphs. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract For a graph __G__, a subset __S__ of __V__(__G__) is called a shredder if __G__ − __S__ consists of three or more components. We show that if __k__ ≥ 4 and __G__ is a __k__‐connected graph, then the number of shredders of cardinality __k__ of __G__ is less than 2|__V__(__G__)|/3 (we sho
## Abstract For an integer __l__ > 1, the __l__‐edge‐connectivity of a connected graph with at least __l__ vertices is the smallest number of edges whose removal results in a graph with __l__ components. A connected graph __G__ is (__k__, __l__)‐edge‐connected if the __l__‐edge‐connectivity of __G_
A hamiltonian graph G of order n is k-ordered, 2 ≤ k ≤ n, if for every sequence v 1 , v 2 , . . . , v k of k distinct vertices of G, there exists a hamiltonian cycle that encounters v 1 , v 2 , . . . , v k in this order. Theorems by Dirac and Ore, presenting sufficient conditions for a graph to be h
