A $k$-defective clique is a relaxation of the traditional clique definition, allowing up to $k$ missing edges. This relaxation is crucial in various real-world applications such as link prediction, community detection, and social network…

Here we show that deciding whether two rooted binary phylogenetic trees on the same set of taxa permit a cherry-picking sequence, a special type of elimination order on the taxa, is NP-complete. This improves on an earlier result which…

Our main result essentially reduces the problem of finding an edge-decomposition of a balanced r-partite graph of large minimum degree into r-cliques to the problem of finding a fractional r-clique decomposition or an approximate one.…

This contribution extends the Bron Kerbosch algorithm for solving the maximum weight clique problem, where continuous-valued weights are assigned to both, vertices and edges. We applied the proposed algorithm to graph matching problems.

We continue the study of graph classes in which the treewidth can only be large due to the presence of a large clique, and, more specifically, of graph classes with bounded tree-independence number. In [Dallard, Milani\v{c}, and…
