## Abstract The circular chromatic number of a graph is a well‐studied refinement of the chromatic number. Circular‐perfect graphs form a superclass of perfect graphs defined by means of this more general coloring concept. This article studies claw‐free circular‐perfect graphs. First, we prove that

It is known that all claw-free perfect graphs can be decomposed via clique-cutsets into two types of indecomposable graphs respectively called elementary and peculiar (1988, V. Chva tal and N. Sbihi, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 44, 154 176). We show here that every elementary graph is made up in a well
An even pair in a graph is a pair of non-adjacent vertices such that every chordless path between them has even length. A graph is called strict quasi-parity when every induced subgraph that is not a clique has an even pair, and it is called perfectly contractile when every induced subgraph can be t
We prove that every 3-chromatic claw-free perfect graph is 3-choosable.
A graph G is quasi claw-free if it satisfies the property: This property is satisfied if in particular u does not center a claw (induced K1.3). Many known results on claw-free graphs, dealing with matching and hamiltonicity are extended to the larger class of quasi-claw-free graphs.
