Parameter: minimum clique cover

Definition:

A clique cover of a graph $G = (V, E)$ is a partition $P$ of $V$ such that each part in $P$ induces a clique in $G$. The minimum clique cover of $G$ is the minimum number of parts in a clique cover of $G$. Note that the clique cover number of a graph is exactly the chromatic number of its complement.
