Abstract
A graph G is called γ-perfect if ƛ (H) = γ(H) for every vertex-generated subgraph H of G. Here, ƛ(H) is the clique number of H (the size of the largest clique of H) and γ(H) is the chromatic number of H (the minimum number of independent sets of vertices that cover all vertices of H). A graph G is called α-perfect if α(H) = θ(H) for every vertex-generated subgraph H of G, where α (H) is the stability number of H (the size of the largest independent set of H) and θ(H) is the partition number of H (the minimum number of cliques that cover all vertices of H).Keywords
