The decomposability of additive hereditary properties of graphs

An additive hereditary property of graphs is a class of simple graphs which is closed under unions, subgraphs and isomorphisms. If ₁,...,ₙ are properties of graphs, then a (₁,...,ₙ)-decomposition of a graph G is a partition E₁,...,Eₙ of E(G) such that $G[E_i]$, the subgraph of G induced by $E_i$, is in $_i$, for i = 1,...,n. We define ₁ ⊕...⊕ ₙ as the property {G ∈ : G has a (₁,...,ₙ)-decomposition}. A property is said to be decomposable if there exist non-trivial hereditary properties ₁ and ₂ such that = ₁⊕ ₂. We study the decomposability of the well-known properties of graphs ₖ, ₖ, ₖ, ₖ, ₖ, ₖ and $^{p}$
