Perfect graphs constitute a well-studied graph class with a rich
structure, reflected by many characterizations with respect to
different concepts.
Perfect graphs are, for instance, precisely those graphs G
where the stable set polytope STAB(G) coincides
with the fractional stable set polytope QSTAB(G).
For all imperfect graphs G it holds that STAB(G) ⊂ QSTAB(G).
It is, therefore, natural to use the difference between the two polytopes
in order to decide how far an imperfect graph is away...
We first describe four recent methods to cluster vertices of an undirected non weighted connected graph. They are all based on very different principles. The fifth is a combination of classical ideas in optimization applied to graph partitioning. We compare these methods according to their ability to recover classes initially introduced in random graphs with more edges within the classes than between them.

Let A = (aij) ∊ Mn(ℝ) be an n by n symmetric stochastic matrix. For p ∊ [1, ∞) and a metric space (X, dX), let γ(A, dpx) be the infimum over those γ ∊ (0,∞] for which every x1, . . . , xn ∊ X satisfy [...] Thus γ (A, dpx) measures the magnitude of the nonlinear spectral gap of the matrix A with respect to the kernel dpX : X × X →[0,∞). We study pairs of metric spaces (X, dX) and (Y, dY ) for which there exists Ψ: (0,∞)→(0,∞) such that γ (A, dpX) ≤Ψ (A, dpY ) for every symmetric stochastic A ∊ Mn(ℝ)...
If D = (V,A) is a digraph, its competition hypergraph (D) has vertex set V and e ⊆ V is an edge of (D) iff |e| ≥ 2 and there is a vertex v ∈ V, such that . We give characterizations of (D) in case of hamiltonian digraphs D and, more general, of digraphs D having a τ-cycle factor. The results are closely related to the corresponding investigations for competition graphs in Fraughnaugh et al. [4] and Guichard [6].
If D = (V,A) is a digraph, its competition hypergraph 𝓒𝓗(D) has the vertex set V and e ⊆ V is an edge of 𝓒𝓗(D) iff |e| ≥ 2 and there is a vertex v ∈ V, such that e = {w ∈ V|(w,v) ∈ A}. We tackle the problem to minimize the number of strong components in D without changing the competition hypergraph 𝓒𝓗(D). The results are closely related to the corresponding investigations for competition graphs in Fraughnaugh et al. [3].
We investigate complete arcs of degree greater than two, in projective planes over finite fields, arising from the set of rational points of a generalization of the Hermitian curve. The degree of the arcs is closely related to the number of rational points of a class of Artin-Schreier curves, which is calculated by using exponential sums via Coulter's approach. We also single out some examples of maximal curves.
The Hadwiger number h(G) of a graph G is the maximum size of a complete minor of G. Hadwiger's Conjecture states that h(G) ≥ χ(G). Since χ(G) α(G) ≥ |V(G)|, Hadwiger's Conjecture implies that α(G) h(G) ≥ |V(G)|. We show that (2α(G) - ⌈log_{τ}(τα(G)/2)⌉) h(G) ≥ |V(G)| where τ ≍ 6.83. For graphs with α(G) ≥ 14, this improves on a recent result of Kawarabayashi and Song who showed (2α(G) - 2) h(G) ≥ |V(G) | when α(G) ≥ 3.
In a groupoid, consider arbitrarily parenthesized expressions on the variables where each appears once and all variables appear in order of their indices. We call these expressions -ary formal products, and denote the set containing all of them by . If are distinct, the statement that and are equal for all values of is a generalized associative law. Among other results, we show that many small groupoids are completely dissociative, meaning that no generalized associative law holds...
