Weakly Perfect Graph


A weakly perfect graph is a graph for which omega(G)=chi(G) (without any requirement that this condition also hold on induced subgraphs, which is required for a graph to be perfect), where omega(G) is the clique number and chi(G) is the chromatic number.

All perfect graphs are weakly perfect.

The numbers of weakly perfect graphs on n=1, 2, ... nodes are 1, 2, 4, 11, 33, 152, 1006, 11805, ... (OEIS A198634).
