Perfect graph decompositions. (English) Zbl 0768.05058

Proved are three theorems presenting upper and lower bounds of the minimum number of perfect subgraphs covering or partitioning either the vertex set or the of a given graph. The weighted versions of both cases are studied, too. All the theorems are based on four lemmas, one of which being proved and published by the author in 1986.
