We present an algebraic characterization of perfect graphs, i.e., graphs for which the clique number and the chromatic number coincide for every induced subgraph. We show that a graph is perfect if and only if certain nonnegative…
Inspired by a famous characterization of perfect graphs due to Lov\'{a}sz, we define a graph $G$ to be sum-perfect if for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$, $\alpha(H) + \omega(H) \geq |V(H)|$. (Here $\alpha$ and $\omega$ denote the…
For a finite group $G$, let $\Delta(G)$ denote the character graph built on the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of $G$. In graph theory, a perfect graph is a graph $\Gamma$ in which the chromatic number of every induced…
A graph is strongly perfect if every induced subgraph H has a stable set that meets every nonempty maximal clique of H. The characterization of strongly perfect graphs by a set of forbidden induced subgraphs is not known. Here we provide…
We classify the finite quasisimple groups whose commuting graph is perfect and we give a general structure theorem for finite groups whose commuting graph is perfect.
We define a perfect coloring of a graph $G$ as a proper coloring of $G$ such that every connected induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ uses exactly $\omega(H)$ many colors where $\omega(H)$ is the clique number of $H$. A graph is perfectly colorable…
Perfect graphs can be described as the graphs whose stable set polytopes are defined by their non-negativity and clique inequalities (including edge inequalities). In 1975, Chv\'{a}tal defined an analogous class of t-perfect graphs, which…
The class of quasi-chain graphs is an extension of the well-studied class of chain graphs. This latter class enjoys many nice and important properties, such as bounded clique-width, implicit representation, well-quasi-ordering by induced…
A graph is {\em perfect} if, in all its induced subgraphs, the size of a largest clique is equal to the chromatic number. Examples of perfect graphs include bipartite graphs, line graphs of bipartite graphs and the complements of such…
By definition, a group $G$ is quasi-perfect, if $G$ is perfect or the commutator subgroup of $G$ is perfect. In this note we give a description of quasi-perfect Dyer groups by properties of the corresponding Dyer graphs.
A b-coloring is a coloring of the vertices of a graph such that each color class contains a vertex that has a neighbor in all other color classes, and the b-chromatic number of a graph $G$ is the largest integer $k$ such that $G$ admits a…
We prove that there exist perfect graphs of arbitrarily large clique-chromatic number. These graphs can be obtained from cobipartite graphs by repeatedly gluing along cliques. This negatively answers a question raised by Duffus, Sands,…
A quasisymmetric graph is a curve whose projection onto a line is a quasisymmetric map. We show that this class of curves is related to solutions of the reduced Beltrami equation and to a generalization of the Zygmund class $\Lambda_*$.…
Perfect graphs form one of the distinguished classes of finite simple graphs. In 2006, Chudnovsky, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas proved that a graph is perfect if and only if it has no odd holes and no odd antiholes as induced subgraphs,…
We study classes of graphs with bounded clique-width that are well-quasi-ordered by the induced subgraph relation, in the presence of labels on the vertices. We prove that, given a finite presentation of a class of graphs, one can decide…
A graph is weakly perfect if its clique number and chromatic number are equal. We show that the enhanced power graph of a finite group $G$ is weakly perfect: its clique number and chromatic number are equal to the maximum order of an…
For any class $\mathcal{C}$ of bipartite graphs, we define quasi-$\cal C$ to be the class of all graphs $G$ such that every bipartition of $G$ belongs to $\cal C$. This definition is motivated by a generalisation of the switch Markov chain…
Circular perfect graphs are those undirected graphs such that the circular clique number is equal to the circular chromatic number for each induced subgraph. They form a strict superclass of the perfect graphs, whose index coding broadcast…
A graph is perfect if the chromatic number of every induced subgraph equals the size of its largest clique, and an algorithm of Gr\"otschel, Lov\'asz, and Schrijver from 1988 finds an optimal colouring of a perfect graph in polynomial time.…
We generalize the notion of quasirandom which concerns a class of equivalent properties that random graphs satisfy. We show that the convergence of a graph sequence under the spectral distance is equivalent to the convergence using the…
