Given a sparse undirected graph G with weights on the edges, a k-plex partition of G is a partition of its set of nodes such that each component is a k-plex. A subset of nodes S is a k-plex if the degree of every node in the associated…
In this paper, we relate the problem of finding a maximum clique to the intersection number of the input graph (i.e. the minimum number of cliques needed to edge cover the graph). In particular, we consider the maximum clique problem for…
We present a new formulation of the maximum clique problem of a graph in complex space. We start observing that the adjacency matrix A of a graph can always be written in the form A = B B where B is a complex, symmetric matrix formed by…

Determining the existence of $k$-clique in the arbitrary graph is one of the NP problems. We suggest a novel way to determine the existence of $k$-clique in the clique complex $G$ under specific conditions, by using the normal mode and…
This paper targets to a novel but practical recommendation problem named exact-K recommendation. It is different from traditional top-K recommendation, as it focuses more on (constrained) combinatorial optimization which will optimize to…
$k$-defective cliques relax cliques by allowing up-to $k$ missing edges from being a complete graph. This relaxation enables us to find larger near-cliques and has applications in link prediction, cluster detection, social network analysis…
A graph is $k$-connected if it has $k$ internally-disjoint paths between every pair of nodes. A subset $S$ of nodes in a graph $G$ is a $k$-connected set if the subgraph $G[S]$ induced by $S$ is $k$-connected; $S$ is an $m$-dominating set…
