Graph classes with and without powers of bounded clique-width

We initiate the study of graph classes of power-bounded clique-width, that is, graph classes for which there exist integers k and ℓ such that the kth powers of the graphs are of clique-width at most ℓ. We give sufficient and necessary conditions for this property. As our main results, we characteriz...
