Hereditary properties of graphs provide a general perspective to study graph
properties. Several important general theorems were obtained, and the
approach offers an elegant way of unifying notions and proof techniques.
Further, hereditary classes of graphs play a central role in graph theory.
Besides their theoretical appeal, they are also particularly relevant from
an algorithmic point of view.
