For a graph G = (V,E), a vertex set XC\_ V is called a clique if Ixl>~2 and the graph G [X] induced by X is a complete subgraph maximal under inclusion. We say that a vertex set T is a clique-transversal set if T N X ~ 0 for all cliques X of G, and define the clique-transversal number re(G) as the m

β¦ Synopsis
The following conjecture of T. Gallai is proved: If G is a chordal graph on n vertices, such that all its maximal complete subgraphs have order at least 3, then there is a vertex set of cardinality ~n/3 which meets all maximal complete subgraphs of G. Further related results are given.

The following problem is investigated. Given an undirected graph G, determine the smallest cardinality of a vertex set that meets all complete subgraphs KC G maximal under inclusion.
Given a finite set D of positive integers, the distance graph G(Z , D) has Z as the vertex set and {i j : |i -j| β D} as the edge set. Given D, the asymptotic clique covering ratio is defined as S(D) = lim sup nββ n cl(n) , where cl(n) is the minimum number of cliques covering any consecutive n vert
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
