Chromatic bounds for the subclasses of $pK_2$-free graphs

Published 2021-02-26Version 1

In this paper, we study the chromatic number for graphs with forbidden induced subgraphs. We improve the existing $\chi$-binding functions for some subclasses of $2K_2$-free graphs, namely $\{2K_2, H\}$-free graphs where $H\in \{K_5-e, K_2+P_4, K_1 + C_4\}$. In addition, for $p\geq3$, we find the polynomial $\chi$-binding functions $\{pK_2, H\}$-free graphs where $H\in \{gem, diamond, HVN, K_5-e, K_2+P_4, butterfly, dart, gem^+, C_4, K_1 + C_4, \overline{P_5}\}$.
