Abstract
A clique of a graph G is a maximal complete subgraph. The clique graph k(G) is the intersection graph of the set of all cliques of G. The iterated clique graphs are defined recursively by k0(G)=G and kn+1(G)=k(kn(G)). A graph G is said to be clique divergent (or k-divergent) if limn→∞|V(kn(G))|=∞. The problem of deciding whether the icosahedron is clique divergent or not was (implicitly) stated Neumann-Lara in 1981 and then cited by Neumann-Lara in 1991 and Larrión and Neumann-Lara in 2000. This paper proves the clique divergence of the icosahedron among other results of general interest in clique divergence theory.
