Decomposing Berge graphs containing no proper wheel, long prism or their complements
In this paper we show that, if G is a Berge graph such that neither G nor its complement contains certain induced subgraphs, named proper wheels and long prisms, then either G is a basic perfect graph (a bipartite graph, a line graph of a bipartite graph or the complement of such graphs) or it has a skew partition that cannot occur in a minimally imperfect graph. This structural result implies that G is perfect.
Perfect graph, decomposition.
Dans cet article, nous démontrons que, si G est un graphe de Berge tel que ni G ni son complement ne contiennent certains sous-graphes induits, que l'on appelle roues propres et prismes longs, alors ou bien G est un graphe parfait de base (un graphe biparti, un graphe de ligne de graphe biparti, ou le complement de tels graphes) ou bien G a une partition antisymétrique qui ne peut pas exister dans un graphe minimalement imparfait. Ce résultat structurel implique que G est parfait.
Graphe parfait, décomposition.
