We study a new version of the domination problem in which the dominating set is required to be a clique. The minimum dominating clique problem is NP-complete for split graphs and, hence, for chordal graphs. We show that for two other important subclasses of chordal graphs the problem is solvable eff

β¦ Synopsis
A chordal graph has a dominating clique iff it has diameter at most 3. A strongly chordal graph which has a dominating clique has one as small as the smallest dominating set-and, furthermore, there is a linear-time algorithm to find such a small dominating clique.

## Abstract We study the squares and the clique graphs of chordal graphs and various special classes of chordal graphs. Chordality conditions for squares and clique graphs are given. Several theorems concering chordal graphs are generalized. Β© 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Let G = (V, E) be an undirected graph and r be a vertex weight function with positive integer values. A subset (clique) D ~\_ V is an r-dominating set (clique) in G ifffor every vertex v e V there is a vertex u e D with dist(u, v) <~ r(v). This paper contains the following results: (i) We give a si
## 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^nβ1^(__G__)) and __K__^1^(__G__) = __K__(__G__). Let the diameter diam(__G__) be the greatest distance between
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
Maximal complete subgraphs and clique trees are basic to both the theory and applications of chordal graphs. A simple notion of strong clique tree extends this structure to strongly chordal graphs. Replacing maximal complete subgraphs with open or closed vertex neighborhoods discloses new relationsh
