文摘A clique-transversal set D of a graph G is a set of vertices of G such that D meets all cliques of G.The clique-transversal number,denoted by τC（G）,is the minimum cardinality of a clique-transversal set in G.In this paper,we first present a lower bound on τC（G） and characterize the extremal graphs achieving the lower bound for a connected（claw,K4）-free 4-regular graph G.Furthermore,we show that for any 2-connected（claw,K4）-free 4-regular graph G of order n,its clique-transversal number equals to [n/3].
