β¦ Synopsis
An edge in a graph G is called a wing if it is one of the two nonincident edges of an induced P 4 (a path on four vertices) in G. For a graph G, its winggraph W (G) is defined as the graph whose vertices are the wings of G, and two vertices in W (G) are connected if the corresponding wings in G belong to the same P 4 . We will characterize all graphs whose wing-graph is a cycle. This solves a conjecture posed by HoΓ ng [9].

A perfect graph is critical, if the deletion of any edge results in an imperfect graph. We give examples of such graphs and prove some basic properties. We relate critically perfect graphs to well-known classes of perfect graphs, investigate the structure of the class of critically perfect graphs, a
The cycle graph of a graph G is the edge intersection graph of the set of all the induced cycles of G. G is called cycle-perfect if G and its cycle graph have no chordless cycles of odd length at least five. We prove the statement of the title. 0 1996 John Wiley &
We consider the question of the computational complexity of coloring perfect graphs with some precolored vertices. It is well known that a perfect graph can be colored optimally in polynomial time. Our results give a sharp border between the polynomial and NP-complete instances, when precolored vert
The domination number Ξ³(G) and the irredundance number ir(G) of a graph G have been considered by many authors. It is well known that ir(G) β€ Ξ³(G) holds for all graphs G, which leads us to consider the concept of irredundance perfect graphs: graphs that have all their induced subgraphs satisfying th
A graph G is perfectly orderable, if it admits an order < on its vertices such that the sequential coloring algorithm delivers an optimum coloring on each induced subgraph (H, <) of (G, <). A graph is a threshold graph, if it contains no P 4 , 2K 2 , and C 4 as induced subgraph. A theorem of ChvΓ‘tal
