Abstract

A clique C is an extreme clique of an interval graph G if there exists some interval model of G in which C is the first clique. A graph G is homogeneously clique-representable if all cliques of G are extreme cliques. In this paper, we present characterizations of extreme cliques and homogeneously clique-representable graphs.
