International audience We introduce q-proper interval graphs as interval graphs with interval models in which no interval is properly contained in more than q other intervals, and also provide a forbidden induced subgraph characterization of this class of graphs. We initiate a graph-theoretic study of subgraphs of q-proper interval graphs with maximum clique size k+1 and give an equivalent characterization of these graphs by restricted path-decomposition. By allowing the parameter q to vary from 0 to k, we obtain a nested hierarchy of graph families, from graphs of bandwidth at most k to graphs of pathwidth at most k. Allowing both parameters to vary, we have an infinite lattice of graph classes ordered by containment.

Forbidden Induced Subgraph

Define a new class of graphs by cycles of length 5 or more always having adjacent chords. This is equivalent to cycles of length 5 or more always having noncrossing chords, which is a property that has a known forbidden induced subgraph characterization. Another characterization comes from viewing the graphs in this class in contrast to distance-hereditary graphs (which are characterized by cycles of length 5 or more always having crossing chords). Moreover, the graphs in the new class are those in which every edge of every cycle [Formula: see text] of length 5 or more forms a triangle with a third vertex of [Formula: see text] (generalizing that a graph is chordal if and only if every edge of every cycle [Formula: see text] of length 4 or more forms a triangle with a third vertex of [Formula: see text]). This leads to a strategically-required subgraph characterization of the new class.

Forbidden Induced Subgraph

Each $m$ by $m$ symmetric matrix $M$ over $0, 1, *$, defines a partition problem, in which an input graph $G$ is to be partitioned into $m$ parts with adjacencies governed by $M$, in the sense that two distinct vertices in (possibly equal) parts $i$ and $j$ are adjacent if $M(i,j)=1$, and nonadjacent if $M(i,j)=0$. (The entry $*$ implies no restriction.) We ask which matrix partition problems admit a characterization by a finite set of forbidden induced subgraphs. We prove that matrices containing a certain two by two diagonal submatrix $S$ never have such characterizations. We then develop a recursive technique that allows us (with some extra effort) to verify that matrices without $S$ of size five or less always have a finite forbidden induced subgraph characterization. However, we exhibit a six by six matrix without $S$ which cannot be characterized by finitely many induced subgraphs. We also explore the connection between finite forbidden subgraph characterizations and related questions on the descriptive and computational complexity of matrix partition problems.
