A hereditary class g of graphs is chi-bounded if there is a chi-binding function, say f such that chi(G) <= f (omega(G)), for every G is an element of g, where x (G) (omega(G)) denotes the chromatic (clique) number of G. It is known that for every 2K(2)-free graph G, chi(G) <= ((omega(G)+1)(2)), and the class of (2K(2), 3K(1))-free graphs does not admit a linear chi-binding function. In this paper, we are interested in classes of 2K(2)-free graphs that admit a linear chi-binding function. We show that the class of (2K(2), H)-free graphs, where H is an element of {K-1 + P-4, K-1 + C-4, (P2 boolean OR P3) over bar, HVN, K-5 - e, K-5} admits a linear chi-binding function. Also, we show that some superclasses of 2K(2)-free graphs are chi-bounded. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
