Abstract:

Let us call a graph $G$ partitionable if $\theta (G)$=$\alpha (G)$ and $\chi (G)$=$\omega (G)$ hold. We call a graph $G$ $O$-$graph$ if there are an optimal coloring of the set of vertices of $G$ and an optimal coloring of $\overline G$ , the complement of $G$, such that any color-class of $G$ intersects any color-class of $\overline G$. The main result of this paper is (Theorem 1): A graph $G$ with $n$ vertices is an O-graph iff it is partitionable and $n$=$\alpha (G)$$\cdot$$\omega (G)$.

Key Words: ($\alpha$,$\omega$)-partitionable graphs,(p,q)-decomposable graphs, perfect graph.
