A hereditary property of graphs is any class of graphs closed under isomorphism and subgraphs. Let P 1 , P 2 , . . . , P n be hereditary properties of graphs. We say that a graph G has property P 1 . . , V n such that the subgraph of G induced by V i belongs to P i ; i = 1, 2, . . . , n. A heredita
In this paper we introduce the concept of a boundary class, which is a helpful tool for classiΓΏcation of hereditary classes of graphs according to the complexity of the independent set problem. It is shown that in a class X deΓΏned by a ΓΏnite set of forbidden induced subgraphs, the problem is NP-hard
