contents In 1949, Zykov proposed the first explicit construction of triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic number. We define a Zykov graph as any induced subgraph of a graph created using Zykov's construction. We give a structural characterization of Zykov graphs based on a specific type of stable set, that we call splitting stable set. It implies that recognizing this class is NP-complete, while being FPT in the treewidth of the input graph. We provide similar results for the Blanche Descartes construction.
