We obtain asymptotically tight algorithmic bounds for Max-Cut and Edge Dominating Set
problems on graphs of bounded clique-width. We show that on an n-vertex graph of clique-
width t both problems (1) cannot be solved in time f(t)n^o(t) for any function f of t unless
exponential time hypothesis fails, and (2) can be solved in time n^O(t).
