We consider a wireless network with a set of transmitter-receiver pairs, or links, that share a common channel, and address the problem of emptying finite traffic volume from the transmitters in minimum time. This, so called, minimum-time…

There are many methods to find a maximum (or maximal) clique in large networks. Due to the nature of combinatorics, computation becomes exponentially expensive as the number of vertices in a graph increases. Thus, there is a need for…

We consider the k-disjoint-clique problem. The input is an undirected graph G in which the nodes represent data items, and edges indicate a similarity between the corresponding items. The problem is to find within the graph k disjoint…

We investigate a number of recently reported exact algorithms for the maximum clique problem (MCQ, MCR, MCS, BBMC). The program code used is presented and critiqued showing how small changes in implementation can have a drastic effect on…

Given simple undirected graph G = (V, E), the Maximum Clique Problem(MCP) is that of finding a maximum-cardinality subset Q of V such that any two vertices in Q are adjacent. We present a modified local search algorithm for this problem.…

We show the application of permutation-invariant quantum circuits to the clique problem. The experiment asks to label a clique through identification of the nodes in a larger subgraph. The permutation-invariant quantum circuit outperforms a…

Circuit lower bounds are important since it is believed that a super-polynomial circuit lower bound for a problem in NP implies that P!=NP. Razborov has proved superpolynomial lower bounds for monotone circuits by using method of…
