Abstract: A collection of sets is intersecting, if any pair of sets in the collection has nonempty intersection. A collection of sets (mathcal{C}) has the Helly property if any intersecting subcollection has nonempty intersection. A graph is /Helly/ if the collection of maximal complete subgraphs of (G) has the Helly property. We prove that if (G) is a (k)-regular graph with (n) vertices such that (n>3k+sqrt{2k^{2}-k}), then the complement (�ar{G}) is not Helly. We also consider the problem of whether the properties of Hellyness and convergence under the clique graph operator are equivalent for the complement of (k)-regular graphs, for small values of (k).
