Forbidden subgraph characterization of (P3-free, K3-free)-colourable cographs

A (P3-free, K3-free)-colouring of a graph G = (V, E) is a partition of V = A ∪ B such that G[A] is P3-free and G[B] is K3-free. This problem is known to be NP-complete even when restricted to planar graphs and perfect graphs. In this paper, we provide a finite list of 17 forbidden induced subgraphs...

Description
Summary:A (P3-free, K3-free)-colouring of a graph G = (V, E) is a partition of V = A ∪ B such that G[A] is P3-free and G[B] is K3-free. This problem is known to be NP-complete even when restricted to planar graphs and perfect graphs. In this paper, we provide a finite list of 17 forbidden induced subgraphs for cographs with a (P3-free, K3-free)- colouring. This yields a linear time recognition algorithm.
