Abstract

Let C be a clique covering for E(G) and let v be a vertex of G. The valency of vertex v (with respect to C), denoted by val(C) (v), is the number of cliques in C containing v. The local clique cover number of G, denoted by lcc(G), is defined as the smallest integer k, for which there exists a clique covering for E(G) such that val(C) (v) is at most k, for every vertex v is an element of V(G). In this paper, among other results, we prove that if G is a claw-free graph, then lcc(G) + chi(G) <= n + 1. (C) 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
