Endomorphism of a graph and a maximal clique












0














Let $G= (V, E)$ be a simple graph satisfy the following:




  • Independence number is $3$,

  • Clique number is $frac{n^2}{4}$,

  • Number of vertices is $n^2$, where $n$ is even.


Let $f in$ End$(G)$, where End$(G)$ is the collection of all homomorphism from $G$ to $G$.





I want to show that atmost three clique of maximum size can be mapped under $f$ to a single clique of maximum size.





Since independence number of a graph is $3$ so that atmost three vertices can be mapped into a single single vertex. Also, it is easy to verified that image of maximal clique is a maximal clique under a homomorphism. I am stuck here, how to prove that atmost three clique of maximum size can be mapped to a single clique of maximum size.
