β¦ Synopsis
Let M be a finite subset of vertices of a connected graph G and assume that every vertex v E M has a dominating radius r(v)E N U {0}. A complete subgraph C is an r-dominating clique of M if every vertex vEM is at distance at most r(v) from C. Even for r(v)~ 1 the problem whether or not a given graph has an r-dominating clique is NP-complete. Evidently, if M admits an r-dominating clique then d(u, v) <~ r(u) + r(v) + 1 for any u, v E M. We characterize the graphs G for which this condition guarantees the existence of r-dominating cliques not only in G but also in all isometric subgraphs of G comprising M. These are the graphs which do not contain the house, the 3-deltoid, or any n-cycle with n ~> 5 as an isometric subgraph.

Nous prouvons une conjecture due & Bondy et Fan. Un cycle C d'un graphe G est dit m-dominant si tout sommet de V(G -C) est a distance au plus m de C. Notre r&t&at est: si G est k-connexe, et si G n'a pas de cycle m-dominant, alors il existe un stable de cardinal k + 1, dont les sommets sont deux 3 d
For integers m, n β₯ 2, let f (m, n) be the minimum order of a graph where every vertex belongs to both a clique of cardinality m and an independent set of cardinality n. We show that f (m, n) = ( β m -1 + β n -1) 2 .
