We prove that partitionable graphs are 2w -2-connected, that this bound is sharp, and prove some structural properties of cutsets of cardinality 2w -2. The proof of the connectivity result is a simple linear algebraic proof.
proved that no minimal imperfect graph has a small transversal, that is, a set of vertices of cardinality at most x + M-1 which meets every c+clique and every x-stable set. In this paper we prove that a slight generalization of this notion of small transversal leads to a conjecture which is as stro
Results of Lovรกsz and Padberg entail that the class of so-called partitionable graphs contains all the potential counterexamples to Berge's famous Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture, which asserts that the only minimal imperfect graphs are the odd chordless cycles with at least five vertices (''odd hol
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
