## Abstract We produce in this paper an upper bound for the number of vertices existing in a clique of maximum cardinal. The proof is based in particular on the existence of a maximum cardinal clique that contains no vertex __x__ such that the neighborhood of __x__ is contained in the neighborhood

Abstract
A graph is point determining if distinct vertices have distinct neighborhoods. The nucleus of a pointβdetermining graph is the set G^O^ of all vertices, v, such that Gβv is point determining. In this paper we show that the size, Ο(G), of a maximum clique in G satisfies Ο(G) β©½ 2|Ο (G)^O^|, where Ο(G) (the point determinant of G) is obtained from G by identifying vertices which have the same neighborhood.

## Abstract The upper bound for the harmonious chromatic number of a graph that has been given by SinβMin Lee and John Mitchem is improved.
Using a technique developed by A. Nilli (1991, Discrete Math. 91, 207 210), we estimate from above the Cheeger number of a finite connected graph G of small degree (2(G) 5) admitting sufficiently distant edges. ## 2001 Academic Press Let G=(V(G), E(G)) be a finite connected graph. The Cheeger numb
A graph 1 is parity embedded in a surface if a closed path in the graph is orientation preserving or reversing according to whether its length is even or odd. The parity demigenus of 1 is the minimum of 2&/(S) (where / is the Euler characteristic) over all surfaces S in which 1 can be parity embedde
## Abstract Harary stated the conjecture that for any graph __G__ with __n__ edges and without isolated vertices __r__(__K__~3~,__G__) β©½ 2__n__ + 1. ErdΓΆs, Faudree, Rousseau, and Schelp proved that __r__(__K__~3~,__G__) β©½ β8/3__n__β. Here we prove that __r__(__K__~3~,__G__) β©½ β5/2__n__β β1 for __n_
