$t$-perfection in $P_5$-free graphs

Combinatorics 2016-10-24 v2

Abstract

A graph is called tt-perfect if its stable set polytope is fully described by non-negativity, edge and odd-cycle constraints. We characterise P5P_5-free tt-perfect graphs in terms of forbidden tt-minors. Moreover, we show that P5P_5-free tt-perfect graphs can always be coloured with three colours, and that they can be recognised in polynomial time.

Comments

Work of Holm et al of which we were not aware made some parts unnecessary. This concerns mostly the section on near-bipartite graphs that is much shorter now
