Forbidden Induced Subgraphs for Toughness
Katsuhiro Ota, Gabriel Sueiro · Journal of Graph Theory · 2012
Let be a family of connected graphs. A graph G is said to be -free if G is H-free for every graph H in . We study the relation between forbidden subgraphs in a connected graph G and the resulting toughness of G. In particular, we consider the problem of characterizing the graph families such that every large enough connected -free graph is t-tough. In this article, we solve this problem for every real positive number t. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Graph Theory 73: 191–202, 2013
