On weakly diamond-free Berge graphs
1996
Discrete Mathematics
In this paper, we present a new class of graphs named weakly diamond-Jree (WDF) graphs and we prove for it the strong perfect graph conjecture, by exhibiting a polynomial sequential (,)-coloring algorithm ...

Here, we introduce a new class of graphs called weakly diamond-free (WDF) graphs, where diamond means K4 minus an edge. ...

Critical and Anticritical Edges in Perfect Graphs
[chapter]
2001
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We ask in which perfect graphs critical and anticritical edges occur and how to find critical and anticritical edges in perfect graphs. ...
We call an edge e of a perfect graph G critical if G − e is imperfect and say further that e is anticritical with respect to the complementary graph G. ...
The graph depicted in Fig. 3(a) is critically and anticritically perfect and belongs to the classes of F -free Berge graphs where F is a claw, a diamond, or a K 4 . ...

Counterexamples to three conjectures concerning perfect graphs
1993
Discrete Mathematics
We will present counterexamples to a conjecture of Hoang on alternately orientable graphs, a conjecture of Hertz and de Werra on even pairs and to a conjecture of Reed on Berge graphs. ...
All these three conjectures are related to perfect graphs. The Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture. A graph is perfect iff it is Berge. ...

Classes of perfect graphs
2006
Discrete Mathematics
The Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture, suggested by Claude Berge in 1960, had a major impact on the development of graph theory over the last forty years. ...
It has led to the definitions and study of many new classes of graphs for which the Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture has been verified. ...
This class of graphs has been defined by Aït Haddadène and Maffray [1] who also proved the perfectness of these graphs. diamond-free Berge A graph is diamond-free Berge if it is a Berge graph that does ...

Chair-Free Berge Graphs Are Perfect
1997
Graphs and Combinatorics
We prove that a Berge graph with no induced chair (chair-free) is perfect or, equivalently, that the Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture is true for chair-free graphs. ...
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}. ...
On the other hand, the class of anti-chair-free graphs properly contains the class of diamond-free graphs and the class of paw-free graphs. ...

Clique separator decomposition of hole-free and diamond-free graphs and algorithmic consequences
2012
Discrete Applied Mathematics
We show that every (hole, paraglider)-free graph admits a clique separator decomposition into graphs of three very specific types. ...
Clique separator decomposition, introduced by Whitesides and Tarjan, is one of the most important graph decompositions. A hole is a chordless cycle with at least five vertices. ...
The classes of weakly chordal graphs and chordal bipartite graphs are also of importance here. A graph is weakly chordal (or weakly triangulated) if it is hole-free and antihole free. ...

On the negative side, we prove NP-hardness of recognizing localizable graphs within the classes of weakly chordal graphs, complements of line graphs, and graphs of independence number three. ...
Our results include a proof of the fact that every very well-covered graph is localizable and characterizations of localizable graphs within the classes of line graphs, triangle-free graphs, C_4-free graphs ...

It presents his work in structural graph theory, from 2001 to 2009. ...
So, Theorem 2.30 gives in fact a much shorter proof of the perfectness of weakly triangulated graphs. Berge graphs behave in a way like weakly triangulated graphs. ...
Theorem 2 . 20 ( 220 Harary and Holzmann [52] ) A graph G is the linegraph of a triangle-free graph if and only if G contains no claw and no diamond. ...

The Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture: 40 years of attempts, and its resolution
2009
Discrete Mathematics
The Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture (SPGC) was certainly one of the most challenging conjectures in graph theory. ...
Of course, this implies large overlaps with the recent book on perfect graphs [J.L. Ramirez-Alfonsin, B.A. ...
Since the diamond-free Berge graphs are perfect [104] *, a proof of this conjecture would imply the SPGT. Unfortunately, Conjecture 4.24 also is not true. ...

Combinatorial optimization with 2-joins
2012
Journal of combinatorial theory. Series B (Print)
A 2-join is an edge cutset that naturally appears in decomposition of several classes of graphs closed under taking induced subgraphs, such as perfect graphs and claw-free graphs. ...
The techniques we develop are general enough to be easily applied to finding a maximum weighted stable set for another class of graphs known to be decomposable by 2-joins, namely the class of even-hole-free ...
Originally, the project was to color Berge graphs without balanced skew partitions. ...

We define a notion of dependence for the edges of a graph and derive a concept of edge perfectness. We give some examples of classes of bipartite edge-perfect graphs. ...
