Weighted maximum-clique transversal sets of graphs. (English) Zbl 1237.05153
Summary: A maximum-clique transversal set of a graph $$G$$ is a subset of vertices intersecting all maximum cliques of $$G$$. The maximum-clique transversal set problem is to find a maximum-clique transversal set of $$G$$ of minimum cardinality. Motivated by the placement of transmitters for cellular telephones, M.-S. Chang, T. Kloks and C.-M. Lee [Lect. Notes Comput. Sci. 2204, 32–43 (2001; Zbl 1042.68619)] introduced the concept of maximum-clique transversal sets on graphs. In this paper, we study the weighted version of the maximum-clique transversal set problem for split graphs, balanced graphs, strongly chordal graph, Helly circular-arc graphs, comparability graphs, distance-hereditary graphs, and graphs of bounded treewidth.
