open access: yesSemantics and Linguistic Theory, 2016
Conditional Perfection is argued to arise when a sentence is silently conjoined with an exhaustivized version of the same string.

Conditions for β-perfectness

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2002
A \(\beta \)-perfect graph is a simple graph \(G\) such that \(\chi (G')=\beta (G')\) for every induced subgraph \(G'\) of \(G\), where \(\chi (G')\) is the chromatic number of \(G'\), and \(\beta (G')\) is defined as the maximum over all induced subgraphs \(H\) of \(G'\) of the minimum vertex degree in \(H\) plus 1 (i.e., \(\delta (H)+1\)).
