This article investigates the generators of certain homogeneous ideals which are associated with graphs with bounded independence numbers. These ideals first appeared in the theory oft-designs. The main theorem suggests a new approach to the Clique Problem which isNP-complete. This theorem has a more general form in commutative algebra dealing with ideals associated with unions of linear varieties. This general theorem is stated in the article; a corollary to it generalizes Turán’s theorem on the maximum graphs with a prescribed clique number.
