چکیده

In 1988, Chvátal and Sbihi [4] proved a decomposition theorem for claw-free perfect graphs. They showed that claw-free perfect graphs either have a clique-cutset or come from two basic classes of graphs called elementary and peculiar graphs. In 1999, Maffray and Reed [6] successfully described how elementary graphs can be built using line-graphs of bipartite graphs using local augmentation. However gluing two claw-free perfect graphs on a clique does not necessarily produce claw-free graphs. In this paper we give a complete structural description of claw-free perfect graphs. We also give a construction for all perfect circular interval graphs.

Claw-free graphs with strongly perfect complements. Fractional and integral version, Part II: Nontrivial strip-structures

Strongly perfect graphs have been studied by several authors (e.g., Berge andDuchet (1984) [1], Ravindra (1984) [7] and Wang (2006) [8]). In a series of two papers, the current paper being the second one, we investigate a fractional relaxation of strong perfection. Motivated by a wireless networking problem, we consider claw-free graphs that are fractionally strongly perfect in the complement. ...

Claw-free circular-perfect graphs

The circular chromatic number of a graph is a well-studied refinement of the chromatic number. Circular-perfect graphs form a superclass of perfect graphs defined by means of this more general coloring concept. This paper studies claw-free circular-perfect graphs. First we prove that ifG is a connected claw-free circular-perfect graph with χ(G) > ω(G), then min{α(G), ω(G)} = 2. We use this resu...

Characterising claw-free t-perfect graphs

We characterise the class of all claw-free t-perfect graphs by forbidden t-minors. Moreover, we show that claw-free t-perfect graphs are 3-colourable. Such a colouring can be obtained in polynomial time.

On claw-free t-perfect graphs

A graph is called t-perfect, if its stable set polytope is defined by nonnegativity, edge and odd-cycle inequalities. We characterise the class of all claw-free t-perfect graphs by forbidden t-minors. Moreover, we show that claw-free t-perfect graphs are 3-colourable. Such a colouring can be obtained in polynomial time.
