Abstract

A directed graph is said to be kernel-perfect if every induced subgraph possesses a kernel (independent, absorbing subset). A necessary condition for a graph to be kernel-perfect is that every complete subgraph C has an absorbing vertex (i.e., a successor of all vertices of C). In this work, we show that this condition is sufficient for i-triangulated graphs, where every odd cycle has two non-crossing chords. This result appears as a special case of a general relationship between the notion of kernel-perfectness and the well known strong perfect graph conjecture of Berge.
