β¦ Synopsis
We will present counterexamples to a conjecture of Hoang on alternately orientable graphs, a conjecture of Hertz and de Werra on even pairs and to a conjecture of Reed on Berge graphs. All these three conjectures are related to perfect graphs.

## Abstract Faudree and Schelp conjectured that for any two vertices __x, y__ in a Hamiltonianβconnected graph __G__ and for any integer __k__, where __n__/2 β©½ __k__ β©½ __n__ β 1, __G__ has a path of length __k__ connecting __x__ and __y__. However, we show in this paper that there are infinitely ma
Simple solutions of these matrix equations are easy to find; we describe ways of cortstructing rather messy ones. Our investigations are motivated by an intimate relationship between the pairs X, Y and minimal imperfect graphs.
We follow the terminology and notion of . By a well known theorem of Vizing it follows that the chromatic index z'(G) of a cubic graph G is 3 or 4. If z'(G) = 4 we say that G is non-Tait-colourable. Holroyd and Loupekine [1] defined a bottleneck in a non-Tait-colourable cubic graph G =
The bondage number h(G) of a nonempty graph G was first introduced by Fink, Jacobson, Kinch and Roberts in [3]. They generalized a former approach to domination-critical graphs, In their publication they conjectured that b(G)<d(G)+ 1 for any nonempty graph G.
