    >k-homogeneous infinite graphs

    Full text link
    In this article we give an explicit classification for the countably infinite graphs G\mathcal{G} which are, for some kk, ≥\geqk k-homogeneous. It turns out that a ≥\geqk−k-homogeneous graph M\mathcal{M} is non-homogeneous if and only if it is either not 1−1-homogeneous or not 2−2-homogeneous, both cases which may be classified using ramsey theory.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figure

    Unavoidable induced subgraphs in large graphs with no homogeneous sets

    Full text link
    A homogeneous set of an nn-vertex graph is a set XX of vertices (2≤∣X∣≤n−12\le |X|\le n-1) such that every vertex not in XX is either complete or anticomplete to XX. A graph is called prime if it has no homogeneous set. A chain of length tt is a sequence of t+1t+1 vertices such that for every vertex in the sequence except the first one, its immediate predecessor is its unique neighbor or its unique non-neighbor among all of its predecessors. We prove that for all nn, there exists NN such that every prime graph with at least NN vertices contains one of the following graphs or their complements as an induced subgraph: (1) the graph obtained from K1,nK_{1,n} by subdividing every edge once, (2) the line graph of K2,nK_{2,n}, (3) the line graph of the graph in (1), (4) the half-graph of height nn, (5) a prime graph induced by a chain of length nn, (6) two particular graphs obtained from the half-graph of height nn by making one side a clique and adding one vertex.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure
