✦ Synopsis
In this paper we investigate new sufficient conditions for a digraph to be kernel-perfect (KP) and some structural properties of kernel-perfect critical (KPC) digraphs. In particular, it is proved that the asymmetrical part of any KPC digraph is strongly connected. A new method to construct KPC digraphs is developed. The existence of KP and KPC digraphs with arbitrarily large dichromatic number is also discussed.

A kernel of a digraph D is an independent and dominating set of vertices of D. A chord of a directed cycle C = (0, 1 , . . . , n, 0) is an arc of D not in C with both terminal vertices in C . A diagonal of C is a chord with j # i -1. Meyniel made the conjecture (now know to be false) that if D is a
