The set S c V(U) is a cut-set of the vertex v of a graph 9 if v is not adjacent to any vertex in S and, for every maximal clique C of Q, ({v} u S) n C # 0. S is a cut-set of the element v of a partial order 9 if S is a cut-set of v in the comparability graph of 8. Given upper bounds for the clique sizes and cut-set sizes of g, we will determine the largest size of an independent set of vertices of Q. If 4 is the comparability graph of some partial order 9, we will also determine the best possible upper bounds for the size of a maximal antichain of 8.

The closure of a set A of vertices of an infinite graph G is defined as the set of vertices of G which cannot be finitely separated from A. A subset A of Y(G) is dispersed if it is finitely separated from any ray of G. It is shown that the closure of any dispersed set A of an infinite connected grap
A symmetric, anfireflexive relation S is a comparability graph ff one can assign a transitive orientation to the edges: we obtain a partial order. We say that S is a comparability graph with constraint C, a subrelation of S, if S has a transitive orientation including C. A characterization is given
## Abstract Let __K__ be a cardinal. If __K__ Ο~0~, define K:= __K__. Otherwise, let __K__ := __K__ + 1. We prove a conjecture of Mader: Every infinite __K__βconnected graph __G__ = (__V, E__) contains a set __S__ β __V__ with |__S__| = |__V__| such that __G/S__ is __K__βconnected for all __S__β __
## An automorphism of a graph X is called a translation of X if it fixes no finite non-empty set of vertices of X. It is shown that a group G of automorphisms of the connected graph X fixes a finite non-empty set of vertices or ends of X if and only if any two translations of X in G have a common
