contents A graph is perfectly divisible if for each of its induced subgraph $H$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into $A$ and $B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and $ω(H[B]) < ω(H)$, and a graph $G$ is perfectly weight divisible if for every positive integral weight function on $V(G)$ and each of its induced subgraph $H$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into $A$ and $B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and the maximum weight of a clique in $H[B]$ is smaller than the maximum weight of a clique in $H$. A clique $X$ of a connected graph $G$ is called a clique cutset if $G-X$ is disconnected. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the perfect divisibility of a graph and its perfect weighted divisibility. We also show that $2P_3$-free or claw-free minimally nonperfectly divisible graphs contain no clique cutset, that conditionally answers a question of Hoàng [Discrete Math. \textbf{349} (2025) 114809].

A graph is perfectly divisible if for each of its induced subgraph $H$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into $A$ and $B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and $ω(H[B]) < ω(H)$, and a graph $G$ is perfectly weight divisible if for every positive integral weight function on $V(G)$ and each of its induced subgraph $H$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into $A$ and $B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and the maximum weight of a clique in $H[B]$ is smaller than the maximum weight of a clique in $H$. A clique $X$ of a connected graph $G$ is called a clique cutset if $G-X$ is disconnected. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between the perfect divisibility of a graph and its perfect weighted divisibility. We also show that $2P_3$-free or claw-free minimally nonperfectly divisible graphs contain no clique cutset, that conditionally answers a question of Hoàng [Discrete Math. \textbf{349} (2025) 114809].
