A graph [Formula: see text] is super strongly perfect if every induced subgraph [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] possesses a minimal dominating set meeting all the maximal cliques of [Formula: see text]. Different structural properties of super strongly perfect graphs are studied in this paper. Some of the special categories of super strongly perfect graphs are identified and characterized. Certain operations of super strongly perfect graphs are also discussed towards the end.
Super strongly perfect graphs and their association with certain other classes of graphs are discussed in this paper. It is observed that every split graph is super strongly perfect. An existing result on super strongly perfect graphs is disproved providing a counter example. It is also established that if a graph [Formula: see text] contains a cycle of odd length, then its line graph [Formula: see text] is not always super strongly perfect. Complements of cycles of length six or above are proved to be non-super strongly perfect. If a graph is strongly perfect, then it is shown that they are super strongly perfect and hence all [Formula: see text]-free graphs are super strongly perfect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
