Let G be the graph obtained as the edge intersection of two graphs G 1 , G 2 on the same vertex set V . We show that if at

## Abstract We describe a new class of graphs for which the stability number can be obtained in polynomial time. The algorithm is based on an iterative procedure that, at each step, builds from a graph __G__ a new graph __G^l^__ that has fewer nodes and has the property that Ξ±(__G^l^__) = Ξ±(__G__)

## Abstract We investigate the conjecture that a graph is perfect if it admits a twoβedgeβcoloring such that two edges receive different colors if they are the nonincident edges of a __P__~4~ (chordless path with four vertices). Partial results on this conjecture are given in this paper. Β© 1995 Joh
A geometric graph ( = gg) is a pair G = (V, E), where V is a finite set of points ( = vertices) in general position in the plane, and E is a set of open straight line segments ( = edges) whose endpoints are in V. G is a convex gg ( = egg) if V is the set of vertices of a convex polygon. For n 3 1, 0
