An upper bound for the clique number using clique ceiling numbers

Combinatorics 2019-06-04 v1

Abstract

In this article we present the idea of clique ceiling numbers of the vertices of a given graph that has a universal vertex. We follow up with a polynomial-time algorithm to compute an upper bound for the clique number of such a graph using clique ceiling numbers. We compare this algorithm with some upper bound formulas for the clique number.
