文摘A clique-transversal set D of a graph C is a set of vertices of G such that D meets all cliques of G. The clique-transversal number, denoted by To（G）, is the minimum cardinality of a clique- transversal set in G. In this paper we give the exact value of the clique-transversal number for the line graph of a complete graph. Also, we give a lower bound on the clique-transversal number for 4-regular claw-free graphs and characterize the extremal graphs achieving the lower bound.
