Abstract
A graph is said to be -divisible if for all (nonempty) induced subgraphs of , can be partitioned into two sets such that and . A graph is said to be perfectly divisible if for all induced subgraphs of , can be partitioned into two sets such that is perfect and . We prove that if a graph is -free, then it is -divisible. We also prove that if a graph is bull-free and either odd-hole-free or -free, then it is perfectly divisible.
