Abstract

We still do not know how to construct the ''most general'' perfect graph, not even the most general three-colourable perfect graph. But constructing all perfect graphs with no even pairs seems easier, and here we make a start on it; we construct all three-connected three-colourable perfect graphs without even pairs and without clique cutsets. They are all either line graphs of bipartite graphs, or complements of such graphs.
