Perfect divisibility and 2-divisibility
Published 21 Apr 2017 in math.CO | (1704.06667v1)
Abstract: A graph $G$ is said to be $2$-divisible if for all (nonempty) induced subgraphs $H$ of $G$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into two sets $A,B$ such that $\omega(A) < \omega(H)$ and $\omega(B) < \omega(H)$. A graph $G$ is said to be perfectly divisible if for all induced subgraphs $H$ of $G$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into two sets $A,B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and $\omega(B) < \omega(H)$. We prove that if a graph is $(P_5,C_5)$-free, then it is $2$-divisible. We also prove that if a graph is bull-free and either odd-hole-free or $P_5$-free, then it is perfectly divisible.
