Mining cohesive subgraphs from a graph is a fundamental problem in graph data analysis. One notable cohesive structure is $\gamma$-quasi-clique (QC), where each vertex connects at least a fraction $\gamma$ of the other vertices inside.…

Rabern recently proved that any graph with omega >= (3/4)(Delta+1) contains a stable set meeting all maximum cliques. We strengthen this result, proving that such a stable set exists for any graph with omega > (2/3)(Delta+1). This is tight,…
