Abstract

A maximum clique transversal set in a graph G is a set S of vertices such that every maximum clique of G contains at least a vertex in S. Clearly, removing a maximum clique transversal set reduces the clique number of a graph. We study algorithmic aspects of the problem, given a graph, to find a maximum clique transversal set of minimum cardinality. We consider the problem for planar graphs and present fixed parameter and approximation results.We also examine some other graph classes: subclasses of chordal graphs such as k-trees, strongly chordal graphs, etc., graphs with few P4s, comparability graphs, and distance hereditary graphs.
