Abstract

AbstractA clique of a graph is a maximal complete subgraph. A (p,q)‐graph has p points and q lines. A clique‐extremal (p,q)‐graph has either the maximum or the minimum number of cliques among all (p,q)‐graphs. Moon and Moser have determined constructively the maximum number of cliques in a p‐point graph. The problem of studying the clique‐extremal (p,q)‐graphs is now investigated. We first develop a standard form for such extremal graphs. These standard forms are shown to have a complementary kind of analogy with respect to maximum and minimum.
