A wheel is a graph that consists of a chordless cycle, together with a vertex that has at least three neighbors in the cycle. A graph is {ISK4,wheel}-free if it has no ISK4 and does not contain a wheel as an induced subgraph. A \"trigraph\" is a generalization of a graph in which some pairs of vertices have \"undetermined\" adjacency. We prove a decomposition theorem for {ISK4,wheel}-free trigraphs. Our proof closely follows the proof of a decomposition theorem for ISK4-free graphs due to L\\'ev\\^eque, Maffray, and Trotignon (On graphs with no induced subdivision of K4. J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 102(4):924-947, 2012).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-02-07T18:46:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "decomposition theorem", "induced subgraph", "subdivision", "complete graph", "isk4-free graphs" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160202406M" } } }
