The interval number of a (simple, undirected) graph G is the least positive integer t such that G is the intersection graph of sets, each of which is the union of t real intervals. A chordal (or triangulated) graph is one with no induced cycles on 4 or more vertices. If G is chordal and has maximum

Abstract
Suppose G = (V, E) is a graph in which every vertex x has a nonβnegative real number w(x) as its weight. The wβdistance sum of a vertex y is D~G, w~(y) = Ο~xβ v~ d(y, x)w(x). The wβmedian of G is the set of all vertices y with minimum wβdistance sum D~G,w~(y). This paper shows that the wβmedian of a connected strongly chordal graph G is a clique when w(x) is positive for all vertices x in G.

We prove that every connected graph on n vertices can be covered by at most nΓ2+O(n 3Γ4 ) paths. This implies that a weak version of a well-known conjecture of Gallai is asymptotically true.
