A coloring of a graph is locally-perfect if for every vertex u, the closed neighborhood of II contains no more than o(u) colors, where w(u) is the order of a largest clique containing u. Here is constructed, for any 4 2 3, a q + l-chromatic graph, with clique number Q, that admits a locally-perfect

Abstract
We present a new algorithm for coloring perfect graphs and use it to color the parity orderable graphs, a class which strictly contains parity graphs. Also, we modify this algorithm to obtain an O(m^2^ + n) locally perfect coloring algorithm for parity graphs. Β© 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

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
## 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
