We present a new “primal” algorithm for the stable set problem. It is based on a purely combinatorial construction that can transform every graph into a perfect graph by replacing nodes with sets of new nodes. The transformation is done in such a way that every stable set in the perfect graph corresponds to a stable set in the original graph. The algorithm keeps a formulation of the stable set problem...
