    Let C be a class of graphs closed under taking induced subgraphs. We say that C has the clique-stable set separation property if there exists c ∈ N such that for every graph G ∈ C there is a collection P of partitions (X, Y ) of the vertex set of G with |P| ≤ |V (G)| c and with the following property: if K is a clique of G, and S is a stable set of G, and K ∩ S = ∅, then there is (X, Y ) ∈ P with K ⊆ X and S ⊆ Y . In 1991 M. Yannakakis conjectured that the class of all graphs has the clique-stable set separation property, but this conjecture was disproved by M. G¨o¨os in 2014. Therefore it is now of interest to understand for which classes of graphs such a constant c exists. In this paper we define two infinite families S, K of graphs and show that for every S ∈ S and K ∈ K, the class of graphs with no induced subgraph isomorphic to S or K has the clique-stable set separation property.

  2. Let C be a class of graphs closed under taking induced subgraphs. We say that C has the clique-stable set separation property if there exists c∈N such that for every graph G∈C there is a collection P of partitions (X,Y) of the vertex set of G with |P|≤|V(G)|c and with the following property: if K is a clique of G, and S is a stable set of G, and K∩S=∅, then there is (X,Y)∈P with K⊆X and S⊆Y. In 1991 M. Yannakakis conjectured that the class of all graphs has the clique-stable set separation property, but this conjecture was disproved by Göös in 2014. Therefore it is now of interest to understand for which classes of graphs such a constant c exists. In this paper we define two infinite families S,K of graphs and show that for every S∈S and K∈K, the class of graphs with no induced subgraph isomorphic to S or K has the clique-stable set separation property.
