Abstract

Let Per f(n) denote the set of all perfect graphs on n vertices and let Berge(n) denote the set of all Berge graphs on n vertices. The strong perfect graph conjecture states that Per f(n) = Berge(n) for all n. In this paper we prove that this conjecture is at least asymptotically true, i.e. we show that
