Complete Minors and Independence Number
Let G be a graph with n vertices and independence number . Hadwiger's conjecture implies that G contains a clique minor of order at least n/. In 1982, Duchet and Meyniel prov...

On the Maximum Number of Cliques in a Graph
A clique is a set of pairwise adjacent vertices in a graph. We determine the maximum number of cliques in a graph for the following graph classes: (1) graphs with n vertices and m ...

Laplacian spectral bounds for clique and independence numbers of graphs
Let G be a simple graph with n vertices and m edges. Let ω(G) and α(G) be the numbers of vertices of the largest clique and the largest independent set in G, respectively. In th...

An approximate version of Hadwiger's conjecture for claw-free graphs
Hadwiger’s conjecture states that every graph with chromatic number χ has a clique minor of size χ. In this paper we prove a weakened version of this conjecture for the class ...
