✦ Synopsis
If G is a graph, its clique graph, K(G), is the intersection graph of all its (maximal) cliques. Iterated clique graphs are then deÿned recursively by: K
We study the relationship between distances in G and distances in K n (G). Then we apply these results to Johnson graphs to give a shorter and simpler proof of Bornstein and Szwarcÿter's theorem: For each n there exists a graph G such that diam(K n (G)) = diam(G) + n. In the way, a new family of graphs with increasing diameters under the clique operator is shown.

A simple argument by Hedman shows that the diameter of a clique graph G differs by at most one from that of K(G), its clique graph. Hedman described examples of a graph G such that diam(K(G)) = diam(G) + 1 and asked in general about the existence of graphs such that diam(K i (G)) = diam(G) + i. Exam
## Abstract The clique graph __K__(__G__) of a graph is the intersection graph of maximal cliques of __G.__ The iterated clique graph __K__^__n__^(__G__) is inductively defined as __K__(K^n−1^(__G__)) and __K__^1^(__G__) = __K__(__G__). Let the diameter diam(__G__) be the greatest distance between
In [1] N.L. Biggs mentions two parameter sets for distance regular graphs that are antipodal covers of a complete graph, for which existence of a corresponding graph was unknown. Here we settle both cases by proving that one does not exist, while there are exactly two nonisomorphic solutions to the
