The clique-transversal number, denoted τ c (G), is the minimum cardinality of a clique-transversal set in G. In this paper we present the bounds on the clique-transversal number for regular graphs and characterize the extremal graphs achieving the lower bound.

The clique-transversal number, denoted by To（G）, is the minimum cardinality of a clique- transversal set in G. In this paper we give the exact value of the clique-transversal number for the line graph of a complete graph. Also, we give a lower bound on the clique-transversal number for 4-regular claw-free graphs and characterize the extremal graphs achieving the lower bound.展开更多

Matthews and Sumner proved that a 2-connected claw-free graph G is Hamiltonian if every vertex of it has degree at least （[V（G）I - 2）/3. At the workshop CSzC （Novy Smokovec, 1993）, Broersma conjectured the degree condition of this result can be restricted only to end-vertices of induced copies of N （the graph obtained from a triangle by adding three disjoint pendant edges）. Fujisawa and Yamashita showed that the degree condition of Matthews and Sumner can be restricted only to end-vertices of induced copies of Z1 （the graph obtained from a triangle by adding one pendant edge）. Our main result in this paper is a characterization of all graphs H such that a 2-connected claw-free graph G is Hamiltonian if eachend-vertex of every induced copy of H in G has degree at least IV（G）I/3 ＋ 1. This gives an affirmative solution of the conjecture of Broersma up to an additive constant.end-vertex of every induced copy of H in G has degree at least IV（G）I/3 ＋ 1.
