Abstract
Let and be integers. A graph is -\emph{splittable} if can be partitioned into two sets and such that and . The well-known Erd\H{o}s-Lov\'asz Tihany Conjecture from 1968 states that every graph whose chromatic number is more than its clique number is -splittable. In this paper, we prove an enhanced version of the Erd\H{o}s-Lov\'asz Tihany Conjecture for graphs with independence number two. That is, for every graph with is -splittable. There are examples showing that this result is best possible.
