The clique-cutset conjecture for minimally non-perfectly divisible graphs
The clique-cutset conjecture for minimally non-perfectly divisible graphs
Let ) be a graph. A graph is perfectly divisible if every induced subgraph with at least one edge has a partition such that the induced graph on is perfect and . A graph is minimally non-perfectly divisible (MNPD) if it is not perfectly divisible but every proper induced subgraph is perfectly divisible. A clique cutset is a clique whose deletion disconnects .
Clique-cutset conjecture. No MNPD graph contains a clique cutset.
This conjecture is proposed as an analogue of the folklore result that no minimal imperfect graph contains a clique cutset. Its status is open.
