## Abstract Let π΄ be a class of graphs and let βͺ― be the subgraph or the induced subgraph relation. We call βͺ― an __ideal__ (with respect to βͺ―) if βͺ― implies that βͺ―. In this paper, we study the ideals that are wellβquasiordered by βͺ―. The following are our main results. If βͺ― is the subgraph relation, w

## Abstract We study classes of finite, simple, undirected graphs that are (1) lower ideals (or hereditary) in the partial order of graphs by the induced subgraph relation β€~i~, and (2) wellβquasiβordered (WQO) by this relation. The main result shows that the class of cographs (__P~4~__βfree graphs
We study bipartite graphs partially ordered by the induced subgraph relation. Our goal is to distinguish classes of bipartite graphs that are or are not well-quasi-ordered (wqo) by this relation. Answering an open question from [J Graph Theory 16 (1992), 489-502], we prove that P 7 -free bipartite g
We study the hypergraph ~(P) whose vertices are the points of a finite poset and whose edges are the maximal intervals in P (i.e. sets of the form I = {v ~ P:p <~ v <<. q}, p minimal, q maximal). We mention resp. show that the problems of the determination of the independence number c~, the point co
