The graph reconstruction conjecture is a long-standing open problem in graph theory. The conjecture has been verified for all graphs with at most 11 vertices. Further, the conjecture has been verified for regular graphs, trees, disconnected graphs, unit interval graphs, separable graphs with no pendant vertex, outer-planar graphs, and unicyclic graphs. We extend the list of graph classes for which the conjecture holds. We give a proof that bipartite permutation graphs are reconstructible.

Graphs of clique–width at most k were introduced by Courcelle, Engelfriet and Rozenberg (1993) as graphs which can be defined by k-expressions based on graph operations which use k vertex labels. In this paper we study the clique–width of perfect graph classes. On one hand, we show that every distance–hereditary graph, has clique–width at most 3, and a 3–expression defining it can be obtained in linear time. On the other hand, we show that the classes of unit interval and permutation graphs are not of bounded clique–width. More precisely, we show that for every [Formula: see text] there is a unit interval graph In and a permutation graph Hn having n2 vertices, each of whose clique–width is at least n. These results allow us to see the border within the hierarchy of perfect graphs between classes whose clique–width is bounded and classes whose clique–width is unbounded. Finally we show that every n×n square grid, [Formula: see text], n ≥ 3, has clique–width exactly n+1.

Graph Theory International audience The notion of graph powers is a well-studied topic in graph theory and its applications. In this paper, we investigate a bipartite analogue of graph powers, which we call bipartite powers of bigraphs. We show that the classes of bipartite permutation graphs and interval bigraphs are closed under taking bipartite power. We also show that the problem of recognizing bipartite powers is NP-complete in general.

We prove # P -completeness for counting the number of forests in regular graphs and chordal graphs. We also present algorithms for this problem, running in O *(1.8494m) time for 3-regular graphs, and O *(1.9706m) time for unit interval graphs, where m is the number of edges in the graph and O *-notation ignores a polynomial factor. The algorithms can be generalized to the Tutte polynomial computation.

We construct minor-closed addable families of graphs that are subcritical and contain all planar graphs. This contradicts (one direction of) a well-known conjecture of Noy.
