Review: If G is a graph such that the deletion from G of the points in saech closed neighborhood results in the complete graph Kn, then we say that G is Kn-residual. Simularly, if the removal of m consecutive closed neighborhoods yields Kn, then G is called m-Kn-residual. We determine the minimum order of the m-Kn-residual graphs for all m and n. It is further shown that for n \geq 2, Kn+1× K2 is a connection K2-residual graph of minimum order and that, for n \geq 5, it is the only such graph. For n = 3 and n = 4 there i one other such graph and for n = 2, C5 is the only such graph.
