Claw-free graphs and two conjectures on omega, Delta, and chi

A King - 2009 - escholarship.mcgill.ca
This thesis concerns the relationship between four graph invariants: ω, χf, χ, and∆. These are
the clique number, the fractional chromatic number, the chromatic number, and the …

SM Bianchi, MS Escalante, GL Nasini… - Discrete Applied …, 2023 - Elsevier
The subject of this work is the study of LS+-perfect graphs defined as those graphs G for
which the stable set polytope STAB (G) is achieved in one iteration of Lovász–Schrijver PSD …

[PDF][PDF] Describing orbitopes by linear inequalities and projection based tools

A Loos - 2011 - core.ac.uk
Let Mp, q the set of all 0/1-matrices with p rows and q columns. If you let a permutation group
operate on the columns of the elements of Mp, q, then Mp, q can be partitioned by a set of …

The total matching polytope of complete bipartite graphs

Y Faenza, L Ferrarini - Operations Research Letters, 2024 - Elsevier
The total matching polytope generalizes the stable set polytope and the matching polytope.
In this paper, we first propose new facet-defining inequalities for the total matching polytope …

A new facet generating procedure for the stable set polytope

ÁS Xavier, M Campêlo - Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2011 - Elsevier
We introduce a new facet-generating procedure for the stable set polytope, based on
replacing (k− 1)-cliques with certain k-partite graphs, which subsumes previous procedures …

Polyhedral Approach to Total Matching and Total Coloring Problems

L Ferrarini - 2023 - boa.unimib.it
A total matching of a graph G=(V, E) is a subset of G such that its elements, ie vertices and
edges, are pairwise not adjacent. In this context, the Total Matching Problem calls for a total …

Strengthened clique-family inequalities for the stable set polytope

AN Letchford, P Ventura - Operations Research Letters, 2021 - Elsevier
The stable set polytope is a fundamental object in combinatorial optimization. Among the
many valid inequalities that are known for it, the clique-family inequalities play an important …

Claw‐Free Graphs, Skeletal Graphs, and a Stronger Conjecture on ω, Δ, and χ

AD King, BA Reed - Journal of Graph Theory, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
The second author's (BAR) ω, Δ, χ conjecture proposes that every graph satisfies. In this
article, we prove that the conjecture holds for all claw‐free graphs. Our approach uses the …

[HTML][HTML] The stable set polytope of claw-free graphs with stability number at least four. I. Fuzzy antihat graphs are W-perfect

A Galluccio, C Gentile, P Ventura - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series …, 2014 - Elsevier
Fuzzy antihat graphs are graphs obtained as 2-clique-bond compositions of fuzzy line
graphs with three different types of three-cliqued graphs. By the decomposition theorem of …

[HTML][HTML] The stable set polytope of claw-free graphs with stability number at least four. II. Striped graphs are G-perfect

A Galluccio, C Gentile, P Ventura - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series …, 2014 - Elsevier
Abstract In [6], Edmonds provided the first complete description of the polyhedron associated
with a combinatorial optimization problem: the matching polytope. As the matching problem …
