For properties of graphs P 1 and P 2 a vertex ( P 1 , P 2 ) -partition of a graph G is a partition (V 1 ,V 2 ) of V(G) such that each subgraph G[V i ] induced by V i has property P i , i=1,2 . The class of all vertex ( P 1 , P 2 ) -partitionable graphs is denoted by P 1 ∘ P 2 . An additive hereditary property R is reducible if there exist additive hereditary properties P 1 and P 2 such that R = P 1 ∘ P 2 , otherwise it is irreducible. For a given property P a reducible property R is called a minimal reducible bound for P if P ⊆ R and there is no reducible property R ′ satisfying P ⊆ R ′⊂ R . In this paper we give a survey of known reducible bounds and we prove some new minimal reducible bounds for important classes of planar graphs. The connection between our results and Barnette's conjecture is also presented. |
