Abstract

In this paper, we find lower bounds for the maximum and minimum numbers of cliques in maximal sets of pairwise disjoint cliques in a graph. By complementation, these yield lower bounds for the maximum and minimum numbers of independent sets in maximal sets of pairwise disjoint maximal independent sets of vertices in a graph. In the latter context, we show by examples that one of our bounds is best possible.
