Abstract

Chvatal defined a skew partition of a graph G to be a partition of its vertex set into two non-empty parts A and B such that A induces a disconnected subgraph of G and B induces a disconnected subgraph of $\overline{G}$. Skew partitions are important in the characterization of perfect graphs. De Figuereido et al. presented a polynomial time algorithm which given a graph either finds a skew partition or determines that no such partition exists. It runs in O (n 101) time. We present an algorithm for the same problem which runs in O (n 4 m ) time.
