Abstract

A complete maximal subgraph of a graph H is designated as a clique. A set (Math Presents) is clique free if <S>, the subgraph induced by the set S does not induce any clique of H. The clique free number βvc = βvc(H) is the maximum order of a clique free set of H. In this present work, we have deduced few bounds for cilque free number and have substantiated the graphs attaining the same. Also, a Gallai’s theorem type result for clique free number is proved and Konig-Egervarey Theorem is extended to clique free sets. An algorithm to find all the maximal clique free sets is derived.
