Roussel and Rubio proved a lemma which is essential in the proof of the Strong Perfect Graph Theorem. We give a new short proof of the main case of this lemma. In this note, we also give a short proof of Hayward’s decomposition theorem for weakly chordal graphs, relying on a Roussel–Rubio-type lemma. We recall how Roussel–Rubio-type lemmas yield very short proofs of the existence of even pairs ...

We will extend Reed's Semi-Strong Perfect Graph Theorem by proving that unbreakable C 5-free graphs diierent from a C 6 and its complement have unique P 4-structure.

The Wonderful Lemma, that was first proved by Roussel and Rubio, is one of the most important tools in the proof of the Strong Perfect Graph Theorem. Here we give a short proof of this lemma.

let $p$ be a prime number and $n$ be a positive integer. the graph $g_p(n)$ is a graph with vertex set $[n]={1,2,ldots ,n}$, in which there is an arc from $u$ to $v$ if and only if $uneq v$ and $pnmid u+v$. in this paper it is shown that $g_p(n)$ is a perfect graph. in addition, an explicit formula for the chromatic number of such graph is given.

In this paper, we enumerate the parameter matrices of all perfect $2$-colorings of the Platonic graphs consisting of the tetrahedral graph, the cubical graph, the octahedral graph, the dodecahedral graph, and  the icosahedral graph.

A graph G is perfect if for every induced subgraph H, the chromatic number of H equals the size of the largest complete subgraph of H, and G is Berge if no induced subgraph of G is an odd cycle of length at least 5 or the complement of one. The “strong perfect graph conjecture” (Berge, 1961) asserts that a graph is perfect if and only if it is Berge. A stronger conjecture was made recently by C...

altan derivatives of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons were recently introduced and studied in theoretical organic chemistry. we now provide a generalization of the altan concept, applicable to any graph. several earlier noticed topological properties of altan derivatives of polycyclic conjugated hydrocarbons are shown to be the properties of all altan derivatives of all graphs. among these ar...

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...
