A graph G is called γ-perfect if ƛ (H) = γ(H) for every vertex-generated subgraph H of G. Here, ƛ(H) is the clique number of H (the size of the largest clique of H) and γ(H) is the chromatic number of H (the minimum number of independent sets of vertices that cover all vertices of H). A graph G is called α-perfect if α(H) = θ(H) for every vertex-generated subgraph H of G, where α (H) is the stability number of H (the size of the largest independent set of H) and θ(H) is the partition number of H (the minimum number of cliques that cover all vertices of H).

Reed's well-known $\omega$, $\Delta$, $\chi$ conjecture proposes that every graph satisfies $\chi \leq \lceil \frac 12(\Delta+1+\omega)\rceil$. The second author formulated a local strengthening of this conjecture that considers a bound supplied by the neighbourhood of a single vertex. Following the idea that the chromatic number cannot be greatly affected by any particular stable set of vertices, we propose a further strengthening that considers a bound supplied by the neighbourhoods of two adjacent vertices. We provide some fundamental evidence in support, namely that the stronger bound holds in the fractional relaxation and holds for both quasi-line graphs and graphs with stability number two. We also conjecture that in the fractional version, we can push the locality even further.

In this paper, we consider the graph class denoted as Gen(∗;P3,C3,C5). It contains all graphs that can be generated by the split composition operation using path P3, cycle C3, and any cycle C5 as components. This graph class extends the well-known class of distance-hereditary graphs, which corresponds, according to the adopted generative notation, to Gen(∗;P3,C3). We also use the concept of stretch number for providing a relationship between Gen(∗;P3,C3) and the hierarchy formed by the graph classes DH(k), with k ≥1, where DH(1) also coincides with the class of distance-hereditary graphs. For the addressed graph class, we prove there exist efficient algorithms for several basic combinatorial problems, like recognition, stretch number, stability number, clique number, domination number, chromatic number, and graph isomorphism. We also prove that graphs in the new class have bounded clique-width.

The study of graphs containing few P4's generated an important number of results related to perfection, recognition, optimization problems (see [12], [15], [8]). We define here a new, larger class of graphs and show that the indicated problems may be efficiently solved on this class too (thus generalizing some of the previous results). Namely, we give a linear time recognition algorithm for this class and we note that the optimization problems concerning the clique number, stability number, chromatic number and clique cover number are solvable in linear time.

The packing chromatic number $\chi_\rho$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest integer $k$ for which there exists a mapping $\pi$ from $V(G)$ to $\{1,2,...,k\}$ such that any two vertices of color $i$ are at distance at least $i+1$. In this paper, the authors find the packing chromatic number of subdivision vertex join of cycle graph with path graph and subdivision edge join of cycle graph with path graph.
