1. Graph classes closed under self-intersectionKonrad K. Dabrowski, Vadim V. Lozin, Martin Milanič, Andrea Munaro, Daniël Paulusma, Viktor Zamaraev, 2026, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Opis: A graph class is monotone if it is closed under taking subgraphs. A monotone class defined by finitely many obstructions has bounded treewidth if and only if one of the obstructions is a tripod, i.e. a disjoint union of subdivided claws and paths. This dichotomy also characterizes exactly those monotone graph classes for which many NP-hard graph problems admit polynomial-time algorithms. These dichotomies do not extend to the universe of all hereditary classes. This leads to the question of whether we can extend known dichotomies for monotone classes to larger families of hereditary classes. We answer this question affirmatively by considering the family of hereditary graph classes closed under self-intersection. This family is known to be located strictly between the monotone and hereditary classes. We prove a new structural characterization of graphs in self-intersection-closed classes excluding a tripod. In contrast to monotone classes excluding a tripod, these classes do not necessarily have bounded treewidth; in fact, they do not even need to be sparse. We use our characterization to give a complete dichotomy for Maximum Independent Set, and its weighted variant, on self-intersection-closed classes defined by finitely many obstructions: these problems are in P if the class excludes a tripod and NP-hard otherwise. Our dichotomy generalizes several known results on Maximum Independent Set in the literature. We also apply our characterization to obtain a dichotomy for Maximum Induced Matching on self-intersection-closed classes of bipartite graphs defined by finitely many obstructions, and for Satisfiability and Counting Satisfiability on self-intersection-closed classes of (bipartite) incidence graphs defined by finitely many obstructions. Finally, we use our characterization to obtain a dichotomy for boundedness of clique-width for self-intersection-closed classes of bipartite graphs defined by finitely many obstructions.

2. Treewidth versus clique number. v. further connections with tree‐independence numberClaire Hilaire, Martin Milanič, Ðorđe Vasić, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: We continue the study of (tw, ω)‐bounded graph classes, that is, hereditary graph classes in which large treewidth is witnessed by the presence of a large clique, and the relation of this property to boundedness of the tree‐independence number, a graph parameter introduced independently by Yolov in 2018 and by Dallard, Milanič, and Štorgel in 2024. Dallard et al. showed that bounded tree‐independence number is sufficient for (tw, ω)‐boundedness, and conjectured that the converse holds. While this conjecture has been recently disproved, it is still interesting to determine classes where the conjecture holds; for example, the conjecture is still open for graph classes excluding an induced star, as well as for finitely many forbidden induced subgraphs. In this paper, we identify further families of graph classes where (tw, ω)‐boundedness is equivalent to bounded tree‐independence number. We settle a number of cases of finitely many forbidden induced subgraphs, obtain several equivalent characterizations of (tw, ω)-boundedness in subclasses of the class of complements of line graphs, and give a short proof of a recent result of Ahn, Gollin, Huynh, and Kwon [SODA 2025] establishing bounded tree-independence number for graphs excluding a fixed induced star and a fixed number of independent cycles.

3. Conformality of minimal transversals of maximal cliquesEndre Boros, Vladimir Gurvich, Martin Milanič, Dmitry Tikhanovsky, Yushi Uno, 2026, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Given a hypergraph ℋ, the dual hypergraph of ℋis the hypergraph of all minimal transversals of ℋ. A hypergraph is conformal if it is the family of maximal cliques of a graph. In a recent work, Boros, Gurvich, Milanič, and Uno (Journal of Graph Theory, 2025) studied conformality of dual hypergraphs and proved several results related to this property, leading in particular to a polynomial-time algorithm for recognizing graphs in which, for any fixed k, all minimal transversals of maximal cliques have size at most k. In this follow-up work, we provide a novel aspect to the study of graph clique transversals, by considering the dual conformality property from the perspective of graphs. More precisely, we study graphs for which the family of minimal transversals of maximal cliques is conformal. Such graphs are called clique dually conformal (CDC for short). It turns out that the class of CDC graphs is a rich generalization of the class of P4-free graphs. As our main results, we completely completely characterize CDC graphs within the families of triangle-free graphs and split graphs. Both characterizations lead to polynomial-time recognition algorithms. Generalizing the fact that every P4-free graph is CDC, we also show that the class of CDC graphs is closed under substitution, in the strong sense that substituting a graph H for a vertex of a graph G results in a CDC graph if and only if both G and H are CDC.

4. Conformal hypergraphs : duality and implications for the upper clique transversal problemEndre Boros, Vladimir Gurvich, Martin Milanič, Yushi Uno, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Given a hypergraph H, the dual hypergraph of H is the hypergraph of all minimal transversals of H. The dual hypergraph is always Sperner, that is, no hyperedge contains another. A special case of Sperner hypergraphs are the conformal Sperner hypergraphs, which correspond to the families of maximal cliques of graphs. All these notions play an important role in many fields of mathematics and computer science, including combinatorics, algebra, database theory, etc. In this paper we study conformality of dual hypergraphs and prove several results related to the problem of recognizing this property. In particular, we show that the problem is in co-NP and can be solved in polynomial time for hypergraphs of bounded dimension. In the special case of dimension 3, we reduce the problem to 2-Satisfiability. Our approach has an implication in algorithmic graph theory: we obtain a polynomial-time algorithm for recognizing graphs in which all minimal transversals of maximal cliques have size at most k, for any fixed k.
