摘要: Let G = ( V , E ) be a graph. A k -neighborhood in is set of vertices consisting all the at distance most from some vertex . The hypergraph on whose edge consists -neighborhoods for neighborhood Our goal this paper to investigate complexity graph terms its neighborhoods. Precisely, we define VC-dimension as maximum taken over induced subgraphs ' For class graphs, having bounded both generalizes minor closed classes and graphs with clique-width.Our motivation result Chepoi et?al. (2007) asserting that every planar diameter 2 ? can covered by number balls radius In fact, they obtained existence function f such F admits hitting size where pairwise disjoint elements .Our generalize proof unique assumption other words, fixed has Erd?s-Posa property.
