Perfect graphs

Perfect graph

In graph theory, a perfect graph is a graph in which the chromatic number of every induced subgraph equals the order of the largest clique of that subgraph (clique number). Equivalently stated in symbolic terms an arbitrary graph is perfect if and only if for all we have . The perfect graphs include many important families of graphs and serve to unify results relating colorings and cliques in those families. For instance, in all perfect graphs, the graph coloring problem, maximum clique problem, and maximum independent set problem can all be solved in polynomial time. In addition, several important min-max theorems in combinatorics, such as Dilworth's theorem, can be expressed in terms of the perfection of certain associated graphs. A graph is 1-perfect if and only if . Then, is perfect if and only if every induced subgraph of is 1-perfect. (Wikipedia).

What is a Complete Graph? | Graph Theory

What is a complete graph? That is the subject of today's lesson! A complete graph can be thought of as a graph that has an edge everywhere there can be an edge. This means that a graph is complete if and only if every pair of distinct vertices in the graph is joined by an edge. So if, in a

Graph Theory FAQs: 01. More General Graph Definition

In video 02: Definition of a Graph, we defined a (simple) graph as a set of vertices together with a set of edges where the edges are 2-subsets of the vertex set. Notice that this definition does not allow for multiple edges or loops. In general on this channel, we have been discussing o

What are Connected Graphs? | Graph Theory

What is a connected graph in graph theory? That is the subject of today's math lesson! A connected graph is a graph in which every pair of vertices is connected, which means there exists a path in the graph with those vertices as endpoints. We can think of it this way: if, by traveling acr

Graph Theory: 57. Planar Graphs

A planar graph is a graph that can be drawn in the plane without any edge crossings. Such a drawing (with no edge crossings) is called a plane graph. A given plane graph divides the plane into regions and each region has a boundary that outlines it. We look at some examples and also giv
