Let F = { I , , 12,. . . , Z,,} be a finite family of closed intervals on the real line. Two intervals 4 and Ik in F are said to overlap each other if they intersect but neither one of them contains the other. A graph G = (V, E) is called an overlap graph for F if there is a one-to-one correspondenc

Abstract
A circle diagram consists of a circle C and a set of n chords. This diagram defines a graph with n vertices where each vertex corresponds to a chord, and two vertices are adjacent if their corresponding chords intersect in C. A graph G is called a circle graph if it is defined by some circle diagram. An algorithm which requires O(n^2^) steps to generate one maximum clique is presented. The algorithm can also be used to generate all maximum cliques where the number of steps need to generate each additional maximum clique is linear in its size. This compares favourably with Gavril's algorithm [4] which works in O(n^3^) steps.

## Abstract Consider a family of chords in a circle. A circle graph is obtained by representing each chord by a vertex, two vertices being connected by an edge when the corresponding chords intersect. In this paper, we describe efficient algorithms for finding a maximum clique and a maximum indepen
Denote the number of vertices of G by ]G[. A clique of graph G is a maximal complete subgraph. The density oJ(G) is the number of vertices in the largest clique of G. If ยขo(G)>~ยฝ ]GI, then G has at most 2 tยฐl-'cG) cliques. The extremal graphs are then examined as wen. ## Terminology We will be co
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
