AI总结:

本文研究了禁止诱导子图的hereditary图类的色数,证明了多项式 χ 有界性及强Pollyanna性质。

摘要:

一个hereditary图类被称为多项式 χ 有界,如果存在一个多项式函数 f,使得对于每个诱导子图 G,χ(G) ≤ f(ω(G))。一个类 C 被称为Pollyanna,如果对于每个 χ 有界类 F,类 C ∩ F 是多项式 χ 有界。在Chudnovsky等人于2026年发表的论文《Reuniting χ-boundedness with polynomial χ-boundedness》中,作者提出了十二个问题和一个猜想,涉及Pollyanna框架。在本文中,我们通过研究由禁止诱导子图定义的hereditary图类的色数来探讨这些问题。我们证明了三个新的强Pollyanna结果。特别是,对于每个 t ≥ 2,每个 {diamond, hammer(t)^+} 自由图是 t-强Pollyanna。我们还显示,禁止合适组合的bowties和dumbbells获得的图类是(2t-2)-强Pollyanna。我们证明了 { (2,2)-bowtie, P_5, (3,3)-dumbbell } 自由图类是多项式 χ 有界。我们还证明了在每条边至少在两个三角形中,且禁止额外配置的diamond-free图是多项式 χ 有界。

英文摘要:

A hereditary graph class is called polynomially $χ$-bounded if there exists a polynomial function $f$ such that $χ(G) \le f(ω(G))$ for every induced subgraph $G$. A class $\mathcal{C}$ is called Pollyanna if, for every $χ$-bounded class $\mathcal{F}$, the class $\mathcal{C} \cap \mathcal{F}$ is polynomially $χ$-bounded. In the paper by Chudnovsky et al., \emph{Reuniting $χ$-boundedness with polynomial $χ$-boundedness} (J.\ Combin.\ Theory Ser.\ B 176 (2026), 30--73), the authors posed twelve problems and one conjecture concerning the Pollyanna framework. In this work, we investigate several of these problems by studying the chromatic number of hereditary graph classes defined by forbidden induced subgraphs. We prove three new strong Pollyanna results. In particular, for every $t \ge 2$, every $\{\text{diamond}, \mathrm{hammer}(t)^+\}$-free graph is $t$-strongly Pollyanna. We also show that graph classes obtained by forbidding suitable combinations of bowties and dumbbells are $(2t-2)$-strongly Pollyanna. We show that the class of $\{(2,2)$-bowtie, $P_5$, $(3,3)$-dumbbell$\}$-free graphs is polynomially $χ$-bounded. We also prove polynomial $χ$-boundedness for diamond-free graphs in which every edge lies in at least two triangles, under additional forbidden configurations.
