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...

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 characterize graph classes of power-bounded clique-width within classes defined by either one forbidden induced subgraph, or by two connected forbidden induced subgraphs. We also show that for every positive integer k, there exists a graph class such that the kth powers of graphs in the class form a class of bounded clique-width, while this is not the case for any smaller power. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.
