A Polynomial Time Algorithm For Solving Clique Problems

Data Structures and Algorithms 2015-03-17 v1

Abstract

I present a single algorithm which solves the clique problems, "What is the largest size clique?", "What are all the maximal cliques?" and the decision problem, "Does a clique of size k exist?" for any given graph in polynomial time. The existence of this algorithm proves that P = NP.
