In 1981, Chvatal defined the class of perfectly orderable graphs. This class of perfect graphs contains the comparability graphs and the triangulated graphs. In this paper, we introduce four classes of perfectly orderable graphs, including natural generalizations of the comparability and triangulate

A graph is called "perfectly orderable" if its vertices can be ordered in such a way that, for each induced subgraph F, a certain "greedy" coloring heuristic delivers an optimal coloring of F. No polynomial-time algorithm to recognize these graphs is known. We present four classes of perfectly order
We investigate the following conjecture of VaSek Chvatal: any weakly triangulated graph containing no induced path on five vertices is perfectly orderable. In the process we define a new polynomially recognizable class of perfectly orderable graphs called charming. We show that every weakly triangul
A graph G is quasi-brittle if every induced subgraph H of G contains a vertex which is incident to no edge extending symmetrically to a chordless path with three edges in either H or its complement 8. The quasi-britiie graphs turn out to be a natural generalization of the well-known class of brittle
