Summary :

Bidirected graphs which are generalizations of undirected graphs, have three types of edges: (+,+)-edges, (-,-)-edges and (+,-)-edges. Undirected graphs are regarded as bidirected graphs whose edges are all of type (+,+). The notion of perfection of undirected graphs can be naturally extended to bidirected graphs in terms of polytopes. The fact that a bidirected graph is perfect if and only if the undirected graph obtained by replacing all edges to (+,+) is perfect was independently proved by several researchers. This paper gives a polyhedral proof of the fact and introduces some new knowledge on perfect bidirected graphs.
