In one of fundamental works in combinatorial optimization, Edmonds gave a complete linear description of the matching polytope. Matchings in a graph are equivalent to stable sets in its line graph. Also the neighborhood of any vertex in a line graph partitions into two cliques: graphs with this latt
Cliques and odd cycles are well known to induce facet-deΓΏning inequalities for the stable set polytope. In graph coloring cliques are a class of n-critical graphs whereas odd cycles represent the class of 3-critical graphs. In the ΓΏrst part of this paper we generalize both notions to (Kn \ e)-cycles
Rank inequalities due to stability critical (u-critical) graphs are used to develop a finite nested sequence of linear relaxations of the stable set polytope, the strongest of which provides an integral max-min relation: In a simple graph, the maximum size of a stable set is equal to the minimum (we
