V. Chva tal conjectured in 1985 that a minimal imperfect graph G cannot have a skew cutset (i.e., a cutset S decomposable into disjoint sets A and B joined by all possible edges). We prove here the conjecture in the particular case where at least one of A and B is a stable set. 2001 Elsevier Science

Let F be a connected graph. F is said to be interval-regular if I F~\_ l(u) uF(x )J =. i holds for all vertices u and x ~ Fi(u), i > 0. For u, v e F, let I (u, v) denote the set of all vertices on a shortest path connecting u, v. A subset W of V(F) is said to be convex if l(u,v) c W holds for each u
The girth of a graph G is the length of a shortest cycle in G. Dobson (1994, Ph.D. dissertation, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA) conjectured that every graph G with girth at least 2t+1 and minimum degree at least kΓt contains every tree T with k edges whose maximum degree does not excee
A digraph D is said to be an R-digraph (kernel-perfect graph) if all of its induced subdigraphs possesses a kernel (independent dominating subset). I show in this work that a digraph D, without directed triangles all of whose odd directed cycles C = (1, 2,..., 2n + 1, 1), possesses two short chords
