The perfection and recognition of bull-reducible Berge graphs

Hazel Everett, Celina M.H. de Figueiredo, Sulamita Klein, Bruce Reed (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

The recently announced Strong Perfect Graph Theorem states that the class of perfect graphs coincides with the class of graphs containing no induced odd cycle of length at least 5 or the complement of such a cycle. A graph in this second class is called Berge. A bull is a graph with five vertices and five edges . A graph is bull-reducible if no vertex is in two bulls. In this paper we give a simple proof that every bull-reducible Berge graph is perfect. Although this result follows...

Mycielskians and matchings

Tomislav Doslić (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

It is shown in this note that some matching-related properties of graphs, such as their factor-criticality, regularizability and the existence of perfect 2-matchings, are preserved when iterating Mycielski's construction.

Comparing imperfection ratio and imperfection index for graph classes

Arie M. C. A. Koster, Annegret K. Wagler (2008)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

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 from being perfect. We discuss...

Distance perfectness of graphs

Andrzej Włoch (1999)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper, we propose a generalization of well known kinds of perfectness of graphs in terms of distances between vertices. We introduce generalizations of α-perfect, χ-perfect, strongly perfect graphs and we establish the relations between them. Moreover, we give sufficient conditions for graphs to be perfect in generalized sense. Other generalizations of perfectness are given in papers [3] and [7].

Comparing Imperfection Ratio and Imperfection Index for Graph Classes

Arie M.C.A. Koster, Annegret K. Wagler (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

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 where the stable set polytope STAB() coincides with the fractional stable set polytope QSTAB(). For all imperfect graphs it holds that STAB() ⊂ QSTAB(). It is, therefore, natural to use the difference between the two polytopes in order to decide how far an imperfect graph...

On a perfect problem

Igor E. Zverovich (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We solve Open Problem (xvi) from Perfect Problems of Chvátal [1] available at ftp://dimacs.rutgers.edu/pub/perfect/problems.tex: Is there a class C of perfect graphs such that (a) C does not include all perfect graphs and (b) every perfect graph contains a vertex whose neighbors induce a subgraph that belongs to C? A class P is called locally reducible if there exists a proper subclass C of P such that every graph in P contains a local subgraph...

Forbidden Structures for Planar Perfect Consecutively Colourable Graphs

Marta Borowiecka-Olszewska, Ewa Drgas-Burchardt (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A consecutive colouring of a graph is a proper edge colouring with posi- tive integers in which the colours of edges incident with each vertex form an interval of integers. The idea of this colouring was introduced in 1987 by Asratian and Kamalian under the name of interval colouring. Sevast- janov showed that the corresponding decision problem is NP-complete even restricted to the class of bipartite graphs. We focus our attention on the class of consecutively colourable graphs whose...
