Abstract

We prove that a graph is perfect if its vertices can be coloured by two colours in such a way that each induced chordless path with four vertices has an odd number of vertices of each colour. Using this result, we prove a decomposition theorem for perfect graphs; this theorem is defined in terms of the chordless path with four vertices.
