Forbidden Induced Subgraphs [PDF]
In descending generality I survey: five partial orderings of graphs, the induced-subgraph ordering, and examples like perfect, threshold, and mock threshold graphs. The emphasis is on how the induced subgraph ordering differs from other popular orderings and leads to different basic questions.

The Ryjáček Closure and a Forbidden Subgraph
The Ryjáček closure is a powerful tool in the study of Hamiltonian properties of claw-free graphs. Because of its usefulness, we may hope to use it in the classes of graphs defined by another forbidden subgraph. In this note, we give a negative answer to

Forbidden subgraphs in the norm graph
We show that the norm graph constructed in [J. Koll r, L. R nyai and T. Szab , Norm-graphs and bipartite Tur n numbers, Combinatorica, 16 (1996) 399--406] with $n$ vertices about $\frac{1}{2}n^{2-1/t}$ edges, which contains no copy of $K_{t,(t-1)!+1}$, does not contain a copy of $K_{t+1,(t-1)!-1}$.

Disjoint stars and forbidden subgraphs
Let $r,k$ be integers with $r\ge 3, k\ge 2$. We prove that if $G$ is a $K_{1,r}$-free graph of order at least $(k-1)(2r-1)+1$ with $\delta(G)\ge 2$, then $G$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint copies of $K_{1,2}$. This result is motivated by the problem of characterizing a forbidden subgraph $H$ which satisfies the statement "every $H$-free graph of ...

Forbidden subgraphs of coloring graphs [PDF]
Given a graph G, its k-coloring graph has vertex set given by the proper k-colorings of the vertices of G with two k-colorings adjacent if and only if they differ at exactly one vertex. Beier et al. (Discrete Math. 339:8 (2016), 2100–2112) give various characterizations of coloring graphs, including finding graphs which never arise as induced subgraphs

Toughness, Forbidden Subgraphs, and Hamilton-Connected Graphs
A graph G is called Hamilton-connected if for every pair of distinct vertices {u, v} of G there exists a Hamilton path in G that connects u and v. A graph G is said to be t-tough if t·ω(G − X) ≤ |X| for all X ⊆ V (G) with ω(G − X) > 1. The toughness of G,

A pair of forbidden subgraphs and perfect matchings
AbstractIn this paper, we study the relationship between forbidden subgraphs and the existence of a matching. Let H be a set of connected graphs, each of which has three or more vertices. A graph G is said to be H-free if no graph in H is an induced subgraph of G.

Forbidden Subgraphs for Hamiltonicity of 1-Tough Graphs
A graph G is said to be 1-tough if for every vertex cut S of G, the number of components of G − S does not exceed |S|. Being 1-tough is an obvious necessary condition for a graph to be hamiltonian, but it is not sufficient in general.

Forbidden subgraphs on Hamiltonian index
Abstract Let G be a graph other than a path. The m -iterated line graph of a graph G is L m ( G ) = L ( L m − 1 ( G ) ) . where L 1 ( G ) denotes the line graph L ( G ) of G .
