[comp.theory] clique covering on transitive graphs

leon@es.ele.tue.nl (& Stok) (09/25/90)

Does anyone have any solutions / pointers to algorithms to solve the
following problem ?

Given a transitive (orientable) graph G(V,E). Each vertex has a set Sv
attached to it, which is a subset from the set { 1 .. n }.
The weight of a clique is defined as the cardinality of the set X, which
is the union of all sets Sv of all vertices in this clique.

Question : Find a minimum weight clique covering of G(V,E).
