A clique-transversal set D of a graph G is a set of vertices of G such that D meets all cliques of G. The clique-transversal number is the minimum cardinality of a clique-transversal set in G. For every cubic graph with at most two bridges, we first show that it has a perfect matching which contains exactly one edge of each triangle of it; by the result, we determine the exact value of the clique-transversal number of line graph of it. Also, we present a sharp upper bound on the clique-transversal number of line graph of a cubic graph. Furthermore, we prove that the clique-transversal number of line graph of a triangle-free graph is at most the chromatic number of complement of the triangle-free graph.

The zeroth-order general Randić index ⁰R_α(G) of the graph G is defined as ∑_u∈V(G)d(u)^α, where d(u) is the degree of vertex u and α is an arbitrary real number. In this paper, the maximum value of zeroth-order general Randić index on the graphs of order n with a given clique number is presented for any α ≠ 0, 1 and α ∉ (2, 2n-1], where n = |V (G)|. The minimum value of zeroth-order general Randić index on the graphs with a given clique number is also obtained for any α ≠ 0, 1. Furthermore, the corresponding extremal graphs are characterized.

In this paper, we present a novel scheduling algorithm using the weighted interval graph. An interval graph is constructed, where an interval is a time frame of each operation. And for each operation type, we look for the maximum clique of the interval graph: the number of nodes of the maximum clique represents the number of operation that are executed concurrently. In order to minimize resource cost. we select the operation type to reduce the number of nodes of a maximum clique. For the selected operation type, an operation selected by selection rule is moved to decrease the number of nodes of a maximum clique. A selected operation among unscheduled operations is moved repeatly and assigned to a control step consequently. The proposed algorithm is applied to the pipeline and the nonpipeline data path synthesis. The experiment for examples shows the efficiency of the proposed scheduling algorithm.

We show that every quasi-random graph $G(n)$ with $n$ vertices and minimum degree $(1+o(1))n/2$ has diameter either 2 or 3 and that every quasi-random graph $G(n)$ with n vertices has a clique number of $o(n)$ with wide spread.

Given a graph G, the Motzkin and Straus formulation of the maximum clique problem is the quadratic program (QP) formed from the adjacent matrix of the graph G over the standard simplex. It is well-known that the global optimum value of this QP (called Lagrangian) corresponds to the clique number of a graph. It is useful in practice if similar results hold for hypergraphs. In this paper, we attempt to explore the relationship between the Lagrangian of a hypergraph and the order of its maximum cliques when the number of edges is in a certain range. Specifically, we obtain upper bounds for the Lagrangian of a hypergraph when the number of edges is in a certain range. These results further support a conjecture introduced by Y. Peng and C. Zhao (2012) and extend a result of J. Talbot (2002). We also establish an upper bound of the clique number in terms of Lagrangians for hypergraphs.

For fast Cholesky factorization, it is most important to reduce the number of nonzero elements by ordering methods. Generally, the minimum deficiency ordering produces less nonzero elements, but it is very slow. We propose an efficient implementation method. The minimum deficiency ordering requires much computations related to adjacent nodes. But, we reduce those computations by using indistinguishable nodes, the clique storage structures, and the explicit storage structures to compute deficiencies.

For a finite or an infinite set X, let $2^X$ be the power set of X. A class of simple graph, called strong Boolean graph, is defined on the vertex set $2^X{\setminus}\{X,{\emptyset}\}$, with M adjacent to N if $M{\cap}N={\emptyset}$. In this paper, we characterize the annihilating-ideal graphs $\mathbb{AG}(R)$ that are blow-ups of strong Boolean graphs, complemented graphs and preatomic graphs respectively. In particular, for a commutative ring R such that AG(R) has a maximum clique S with $3{\leq}{\mid}V(S){\mid}{\leq}{\infty}$, we prove that $\mathbb{AG}(R)$ is a blow-up of a strong Boolean graph if and only if it is a complemented graph, if and only if R is a reduced ring. If assume further that R is decomposable, then we prove that $\mathbb{AG}(R)$ is a blow-up of a strong Boolean graph if and only if it is a blow-up of a pre-atomic graph. We also study the clique number and chromatic number of the graph $\mathbb{AG}(R)$.

The ordering method is used to reduce the fill-ins in interior point methods. In ordering, the data structure plays an important role. In this paper, first, we compare the efficiency and the memory storage requirement of the quotient graph structure and the clique storage. Next, we propose a method of reducing the number of cliques and a data structure for clique storage. Finally, we apply a method of merging rows and absorbing cliques and show the experimental results.

Motzkin and Straus established a close connection between the maximum clique problem and a solution (namely graph-Lagrangian) to the maximum value of a class of homogeneous quadratic multilinear functions over the standard simplex of the Euclidean space in 1965. This connection and its extensions were successfully employed in optimization to provide heuristics for the maximum clique problem in graphs. It is useful in practice if similar results hold for hypergraphs. In this paper, we develop a homogeneous multilinear function based on the structure of hypergraphs and their complement hypergraphs. Its maximum value generalizes the graph-Lagrangian. Specifically, we establish a connection between the clique number and the generalized graph-Lagrangian of 3-uniform graphs, which supports the conjecture posed in this paper.

Ordering is performed to reduce the amount of fill-ins of the Cholesky factor of a symmetric positive definite matrix. This paper proposes a new ordering algorithm that reduces the fill-ins of the Cholesky factor iteratively by elimination tree rotations and clique separators. Elimination tree rotations have been used mainly to reorder the rows of the permuted matrix for the efficiency of storage space management or parallel processing, etc. In the proposed algorithm, however, they are repeatedly performed to reduce the fill-ins of the Cholesky factor. In addition, we presents a simple method for finding a minimal node separator between arbitrary two nodes of a chordal graph. The proposed reordering procedure using clique separators enables us to obtain another order of rows of which the number of till-ins decreases strictly.
