A Survey on the Computational Complexity of Coloring Graphs with Forbidden Subgraphs (2016)
Journal Article
Golovach, P., Johnson, M., Paulusma, D., & Song., J. (2017). A Survey on the Computational Complexity of Coloring Graphs with Forbidden Subgraphs. Journal of Graph Theory, 84(4), 331-363. https://doi.org/10.1002/jgt.22028

For a positive integer k, a k-coloring of a graph inline image is a mapping inline image such that inline image whenever inline image. The COLORING problem is to decide, for a given G and k, whether a k-coloring of G exists. If k is fixed (i.e., it i...

We consider a natural restriction of the List Colouring problem, k-Regular List Colouring, which corresponds to the List Colouring problem where every list has size exactly k. We give a complete classification of the complexity of k-Regular List Colo... Read More about Filling the complexity gaps for colouring planar and bounded degree graphs.

Bounding the clique-width of H-free split graphs (2015)

A graph is H-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to H. We continue a study into the boundedness of clique-width of subclasses of perfect graphs. We identify five new classes of H-free split graphs whose clique-width is bounded. Our main res... Read More about Bounding the clique-width of H-free split graphs.

Kempe equivalence of colourings of cubic graphs (2015)

Feghali, C., Johnson, M., & Paulusma, D. (2015, November). Kempe equivalence of colourings of cubic graphs. Presented at European Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Applications (EuroComb 2015),, Bergen, Norway

Given a graph G = (V,E) and a proper vertex colouring of G, a Kempe chain is a subset of V that induces a maximal connected subgraph of G in which every vertex has one of two colours. To make a Kempe change is to obtain one colouring from another by... Read More about Kempe equivalence of colourings of cubic graphs.

A parallel knock-out scheme for a graph proceeds in rounds in each of which each surviving vertex eliminates one of its surviving neighbours. A graph is KO-reducible if there exists such a scheme that eliminates every vertex in the graph. The Paralle... Read More about Knocking out P_k-free graphs.

For a family of graphs F, an F-transversal of a graph G is a subset S⊆V(G) that intersects every subset of V(G) that induces a subgraph isomorphic to a graph in F.

The problem of finding a disconnected cut in a graph is NP-hard in general but polynomial-time solvable on planar graphs.

A homomorphism from a graph G to a graph H is locally bijective, surjective, or injective if its restriction to the neighborhood of every vertex of G is bijective, surjective, or injective, respectively.

We define the modular treewidth of a graph as its treewidth after contraction of modules. This parameter properly generalizes treewidth and is itself properly generalized by clique-width. We show that the number of satisfying assignments can be compu... Read More about Model counting for CNF formulas of bounded modular treewidth.

Let GG be a bipartite graph, and let HH be a bipartite graph with a fixed bipartition (BH,WH)(BH,WH). We consider three different, natural ways of forbidding HH as an induced subgraph in GG.

If a graph has no induced subgraph isomorphic to any graph in a finite family {H1,…,Hp}, it is said to be (H1,…,Hp)-free. The class of H-free graphs has bounded clique-width if and only if H is an induced subgraph of the 4-vertex path P4. We study th...
