✦ Synopsis
Let S be an arbitrary collection of stars in a graph G such that there is no chain of length ~3 joining the centers of (any) two stars in G. We consider the graphs that can be obtained by deleting in a parity graph all the edges of such a set S. These graphs will be called skeletal graphs and we prove that they are strict quasi-parity graphs and hence perfect graphs.

In this paper we prove the validity of the Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture for some classes of graphs described by forbidden configurations. Three different kinds of techniques are used: the first is the well-known star-cutset technique, the second involves a clique-reduction operation, and the thi
Let i be a positive integer. We generalize the chromatic number x ( G ) of G and the clique number w(G) of G as follows: The i-chromatic number of G , denoted by x Z ( G ) , is the least number k for which G has a vertex partition V,, V,, . . . , Vk: such that the clique number of the subgraph induc

## Abstract For a positive integer __n__, we introduce the new graph class of __n__‐ordered graphs, which generalize partial __n__‐trees. Several characterizations are given for the finite __n__‐ordered graphs, including one via a combinatorial game. We introduce new countably infinite graphs __R__
