A note on kernels in h-perfect graphs

چکیده
Boros and Gurvich [3] showed that every clique-acyclic superorientation of a perfect graph has a kernel. We prove the following extension of their result: if G is an h-perfect graph, then every clique-acyclic and odd-hole-acyclic superorientation of G has a kernel. We propose a conjecture related to Scarf’s Lemma that would imply the reverse direction of the Boros-Gurvich theorem without relying on the Strong Perfect Graph Theorem.

A note on kernels and Sperner's Lemma
The kernel-solvability of perfect graphs was first proved by Boros and Gurvich, and later Aharoni andHolzmangave a shorter proof. Bothproofswere based on Scarf’s Lemma. In this note we show that a very simple proof can be given using a polyhedral version of Sperner’s Lemma. In addition, we extend the Boros–Gurvich theorem to h-perfect graphs and to a more general setting. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. A...
متن کاملA note on Fouquet-Vanherpe’s question and Fulkerson conjecture
The excessive index of a bridgeless cubic graph $G$ is the least integer $k$, such that $G$ can be covered by $k$ perfect matchings. An equivalent form of Fulkerson conjecture (due to Berge) is that every bridgeless cubic graph has excessive index at most five. Clearly, Petersen graph is a cyclically 4-edge-connected snark with excessive index at least 5, so Fouquet and Vanherpe as...
متن کاملA Note on Tensor Product of Graphs
Let $G$ and $H$ be graphs. The tensor product $Gotimes H$ of $G$ and $H$ has vertex set $V(Gotimes H)=V(G)times V(H)$ and edge set $E(Gotimes H)={(a,b)(c,d)| acin E(G):: and:: bdin E(H)}$. In this paper, some results on this product are obtained by which it is possible to compute the Wiener and Hyper Wiener indices of $K_n otimes G$.
متن کاملPerfect Matchings in Edge-Transitive Graphs
We find recursive formulae for the number of perfect matchings in a graph G by splitting G into subgraphs H and Q. We use these formulas to count perfect matching of P hypercube Qn. We also apply our formulas to prove that the number of perfect matching in an edge-transitive graph is , where denotes the number of perfect matchings in G, is the graph constructed from by deleting edges with an en...
متن کاملA NOTE ON THE COMMUTING GRAPHS OF A CONJUGACY CLASS IN SYMMETRIC GROUPS
The commuting graph of a group is a graph with vertexes set of a subset of a group and two element are adjacent if they commute. The aim of this paper is to obtain the automorphism group of the commuting graph of a conjugacy class in the symmetric groups. The clique number, coloring number, independent number, and diameter of these graphs are also computed.
