Let G be a line graph. Orlin determined the clique covering and clique partition numbers cc(G) and cp(G). We obtain a constructive proof of Orlin's result and in doing so we are able to completely enumerate the number of distinct minimal clique covers and partitions of G, in terms of easily calculab

Wallis, W.D. and G.-H. Zhang, On the partition and coloring of a graph by cliques, Discrete Mathematics 120 (1993) 191-203. We first introduce the concept of the k-chromatic index of a graph, and then discuss some of its properties. A characterization of the clique partition number of the graph G V
For a graph G, let ' 2 (G ) denote the minimum degree sum of a pair of nonadjacent vertices. We conjecture that if |V(G)| n i 1 k a i and ' 2 (G ) ! n k À 1, then for any k vertices v 1 , v 2 , F F F , v k in G, there exist vertex-disjoint paths P 1 , P 2 , F F F , P k such that |V (P i )| a i and v
The Hosoya index and the Merrifield-Simmons index of a graph are defined as the total number of the matchings (including the empty edge set) and the total number of the independent vertex sets (including the empty vertex set) of the graph, respectively. Let W n,k be the set of connected graphs with
