✦ Synopsis
A graph G is strongly perfect if every induced subgraph H of G contains a stable set that meets all the maximal cliques of H . We present a graph decomposition that preserves strong perfection: more precisely, a stitch decomposition of a graph G = (V, €1 is a partition of V into nonempty disjoint subsets V,, V, such that in every P4 with vertices in both K's, each of the three edges has an endpoint in V, and the other in V,.
We give a good characterization of graphs that admit a stitch decomposition and establish several results concerning the stitch decomposition of strongly perfect graphs.

## Abstract The study of perfectness, via the strong perfect graph conjecture, has given rise to numerous investigations concerning the structure of many particular classes of perfect graphs. In “Perfect Product Graphs” (__Discrete Mathematics__, Vol. 20, 1977, pp. 177‐‐186), G. Ravindra and K. R.
Let i be a positive integer. We generalize the chromatic number x ( G ) of G and the clique number w(G) of G as follows: The i-chromatic number of G , denoted by x Z ( G ) , is the least number k for which G has a vertex partition V,, V,, . . . , Vk: such that the clique number of the subgraph induc
