Strongly perfect claw‐free graphs—A short proof

Abstract

A graph is strongly perfect if every induced subgraph of it has a stable set that meets every maximal clique of . A graph is claw‐free if no vertex has three pairwise nonadjacent neighbors. The characterization of claw‐free graphs that are strongly perfect by a set of forbidden induced subgraphs was conjectured by Ravindra in 1990 and was proved by Wang in 2006. Here we give a shorter proof of this characterization.
