A 2-stratified graph G is a graph whose vertex set has been partitioned into two subsets, called the strata or color classes of G . Two 2 -stratified graphs G and H are isomorphic if there exists a color-preserving isomorphism φ from G to H . A 2 -stratified graph G is said to be homogeneously embedded in a 2 -stratified graph H if for every vertex x of G and every vertex y of H , where x and y are colored the same, there exists an induced 2 -stratified subgraph H ' of H containing y and a color-preserving isomorphism φ from G to H ' such that φ ( x ) = y . A 2 -stratified graph F of minimum order in which G can be homogeneously embedded is called a frame of G and the order of F is called the framing number f r ( G ) of G . It is shown that every 2 -stratified graph can be homogeneously embedded in some 2 -stratified graph. For a graph G , a 2 -stratified graph F of minimum order in which every 2 -stratification of G can be homogeneously embedded is called a fence of G and the order of F is called the fencing number f e ( G ) of G . The fencing numbers of some well-known classes of graphs are determined. It is shown that if G is a vertex-transitive graph of order n that is not a complete graph then f e ( G ) = 2 n .

AB - A 2-stratified graph $G$ is a graph whose vertex set has been partitioned into two subsets, called the strata or color classes of $G$. Two $2$-stratified graphs $G$ and $H$ are isomorphic if there exists a color-preserving isomorphism $\phi $ from $G$ to $H$. A $2$-stratified graph $G$ is said to be homogeneously embedded in a $2$-stratified graph $H$ if for every vertex $x$ of $G$ and every vertex $y$ of $H$, where $x$ and $y$ are colored the same, there exists an induced $2$-stratified subgraph $H^{\prime }$ of $H$ containing $y$ and a color-preserving isomorphism $\phi $ from $G$ to $H^{\prime }$ such that $\phi (x) = y$. A $2$-stratified graph $F$ of minimum order in which $G$ can be homogeneously embedded is called a frame of $G$ and the order of $F$ is called the framing number $\mathop {\mathrm {f}r}(G)$ of $G$. It is shown that every $2$-stratified graph can be homogeneously embedded in some $2$-stratified graph. For a graph $G$, a $2$-stratified graph $F$ of minimum order in which every $2$-stratification of $G$ can be homogeneously embedded is called a fence of $G$ and the order of $F$ is called the fencing number $\mathop {\mathrm {f}e}(G)$ of $G$. The fencing numbers of some well-known classes of graphs are determined. It is shown that if $G$ is a vertex-transitive graph of order $n$ that is not a complete graph then $\mathop {\mathrm {f}e}(G) = 2n.$
