Abstract
Does well-quasi-ordering by induced subgraphs imply bounded clique-width for hereditary classes? This question was asked by Daligault, Rao, and Thomass ́e [Well-quasi-order of relabel functions. Order, 27(3) (2010), 301–315]. We answer this question negatively by presenting a hereditary class of graphs of unbounded clique-width which is well-quasi-ordered by the induced subgraph relation. We also show that graphs in our class have at most logarithmic clique-width and that the number of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs for our class is infinite. These results lead to a conjecture relaxing the above question and to a number of related open questions connecting well-quasi-ordering and clique-width.
