The strong perfect graph conjecture holds for diamonded odd cycle-free graphs

نویسنده

  • Olivia M. Carducci
چکیده

We define a diamonded odd cycle to be an odd cycle C with exactly two chords and either a) C has length five and the two chords are non-crossing; or b) C has length greater than five and has chords (x,y) and (x,z) with (y,z) an edge of C and there exists a node w not on C adjacent to y and C, but not x. In this paper, we show that given a diamonded odd cycle-free graph G, G is perfect if and only if G does not have an induced subgraph isomorphic to an odd hole with size greater than three.

Chair-Free Berge Graphs Are Perfect

A graph G is called Berge if neither G nor its complement contains a chordless cycle with an odd number of nodes. The famous Berge’s Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture asserts that every Berge graph is perfect. A chair is a graph with nodes {a, b, c, d, e} and edges {ab, bc, cd, eb}. We prove that a Berge graph with no induced chair (chair-free) is perfect or, equivalently, that the Strong Perfect...

Even pairs and the strong perfect graph conjecture

We will characterize all graphs that have the property that the graph and its complement are minimal even pair free. This characterization allows a new formulation of the Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture. The reader is assumed to be familiar with perfect graphs (see for example [2]). A hole is a cycle of length at least five. An odd hole is a hole that has an odd number of vertices. An (odd) ant...

The Normal Graph Conjecture is true for Circulants

Normal graphs are defined in terms of cross-intersecting set families: a graph is normal if it admits a clique cover Q and a stable set cover S s.t. every clique in Q intersects every stable set in S. Normal graphs can be considered as closure of perfect graphs by means of co-normal products (K ̈orner [6]) and graph entropy (Czisz ́ar et al. [5]). Perfect graphs have been recently characterized a...

About Skew Partitions in Minimal Imperfect Graphs

For terms not defined here, the reader is referred to [6]. For a graph G=(V, E), we denote by G the complement of G. We use |(G) to denote the size of a largest clique in G and :(G) to denote the size of a largest stable set in G, or simply | and : when no confusion is possible. A graph G is said to be perfect if, for each induced subgraph H of G, H can be coloured with |(H) colours such that e...

Some conjectures on perfect graphs

The complement of a graph G is denoted by G. χ(G) denotes the chromatic number and ω(G) the clique number of G. The cycles of odd length at least five are called odd holes and the complements of odd holes are called odd anti-holes. A graph G is called perfect if, for each induced subgraph G of G, χ(G) = ω(G). Classical examples of perfect graphs consist of bipartite graphs, chordal graphs and c...
