Abstract

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 show that the (q,q-4) graphs are of clique width at most q and P4-tidy graphs are of clique-width at most 4. Furthermore, the k-expression (for k=4 or k=q) associated with such a graph can be found in linear time.
