Maffray's bipartisan even-pair conjecture
Maffray's bipartisan even-pair conjecture
A graph is bipartisan if it is Berge, contains no and no double diamond, and neither nor contains a long prism. An even pair is a pair of vertices such that every chordless path between them has even length. Maffray's conjecture. If is bipartisan with at least two vertices, then at least one of and contains an even pair. This would generalize the bull-free Berge graph theorem and could shorten the proof of the strong perfect graph theorem. The survey presents it as an open conjecture.
