A property of graphs is any isomorphism closed class of simple graphs. For given properties of graphs ₁,₂,...,ₙ a vertex (₁, ₂, ...,ₙ)-partition of a graph G is a partition V₁,V₂,...,Vₙ of V(G) such that for each i = 1,2,...,n the induced subgraph G[V_i] has property _i. The class of all graphs having a vertex (₁, ₂, ...,ₙ)-partition is denoted by ₁∘₂∘...∘ₙ. A property is said to be reducible with respect to a lattice of properties of graphs if there are n ≥ 2 properties ₁,₂,...,ₙ ∈ such that = ₁∘₂∘...∘ₙ; otherwise is irreducible in . We study the structure of different lattices of properties of graphs and we prove that in these lattices every reducible property of graphs has a finite factorization into irreducible properties.
Keywords: factorization, property of graphs, irreducible property, reducible property, lattice of properties of graphs
