A graph is perfect if it has no induced subgraph that is either an odd cycle (other than a triangle) or a complement thereof (note that the class of perfect graphs is closed under graph complement). A graph is self-complementary if it is isomorphic to its complement.
Question: How many self-complementary graphs are perfect? More precisly, which of the following cases are we in?:
- most self-complementary graphs are perfect in the sense that one can classify or concisely characterize the self-complementary graphs that are not perfect.
- most self-complementary graphs are not perfect in the sense that one can classify or concisely characterize the self-complementary perfect graphs.
- There is no significant relation between the self-complementary graphs and the perfect graphs.
Note that the self-complementary perfect graphs are exactly the self-complementary graphs that do not contain odd induced cycles other than triangles.
Some examples of self-complementary perfect graphs are: the single vertex graph, the path of length three, and (I believe) $C_3\times C_3$. More examples can be found in this list of small self-complementary graphs.
So far I am not aware of a way to generate an infinite family of self-complementary graphs that are either perfect or not perfect.
