Abstract

In this paper we consider partitions (resp. packings) of graphs without odd chordless cycles into cliques of order at least 2. We give a structure theorem, min-max results and characterization theorems for this kind of partitions and packings.

Keywords: clique partition, matching, min-max theorems.

1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C70.
