## 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

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.

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
Let be the induced-minor relation. It is shown that, for every t, all chordal graphs of clique number at most t are well-quasi-ordered by . On the other hand, if the bound on clique number is dropped, even the class of interval graphs is not well-quasi-ordered by .
In this paper we show that, for each chordal graph G, there is a tree T such that T is a spanning tree of the square G 2 of G and, for every two vertices, the distance between them in T is not larger than the distance in G plus 2. Moreover, we prove that, if G is a strongly chordal graph or even a d
## Abstract We define two types of bipartite graphs, chordal bipartite graphs and perfect elimination bipartite graphs, and prove theorems analogous to those of Dirac and Rose for chordal graphs (rigid circuit graphs, triangulated graphs). Our results are applicable to Gaussian elimination on spars
## Abstract The __clique graph__ of a graph is the intersection graph of its (maximal) cliques. A graph is __selfβclique__ when it is isomorphic with its clique graph, and is __cliqueβHelly__ when its cliques satisfy the Helly property. We prove that a graph is cliqueβHelly and selfβclique if and o
