A (unit) disk graph is the intersection graph of closed (unit) disks in the plane. Almost three decades ago, an elegant polynomial-time algorithm was found for \textsc{Maximum Clique} on unit disk graphs [Clark, Colbourn, Johnson; Discrete…
We estimate the maximum possible number of cliques of size $r$ in an $n$-vertex graph free of a fixed complete $r$-partite graph $K_{s_1, s_2, \ldots, s_r}$. By viewing every $r$-clique as a hyperedge, the upper bound on the Tur\'an number…
An edge clique cover of a graph is a set of cliques that covers all edges of the graph. We generalize this concept to "$K_t$ clique cover", i.e. a set of cliques that covers all complete subgraphs on $t$ vertices of the graph, for every $t…
Generalized Tur\'an problems have been a central topic of study in extremal combinatorics throughout the last few decades. One such problem, maximizing the number of cliques of a fixed order in a graph with fixed number of vertices and…

Clique-width is a graph invariant that has been widely studied in combinatorics and computer science. However, computing the clique-width of a graph is an intricate problem, the exact clique-width is not known even for very small graphs. We…
A simple graph on $n$ vertices may contain a lot of maximum cliques. But how many can it potentially contain? We will define prime and composite graphs, and we will show that if $n \ge 15$, then the grpahs with the maximum number of maximum…
We take an existing implementation of an algorithm for the maximum clique problem and modify it so that we can distribute it over an ad-hoc cluster of machines. Our goal was to achieve a significant speedup in performance with minimal…
In the EDGE CLIQUE COVER (ECC) problem, given a graph G and an integer k, we ask whether the edges of G can be covered with k complete subgraphs of G or, equivalently, whether G admits an intersection model on k-element universe. Gramm et…
The k-Clique problem is a canonical hard problem in parameterized complexity. In this paper, we study the parameterized complexity of approximating the k-Clique problem where an integer k and a graph G on n vertices are given as input, and…
Recently Chase determined the maximum possible number of cliques of size $t$ in a graph on $n$ vertices with given maximum degree. Soon afterward, Chakraborti and Chen answered the version of this question in which we ask that the graph…
We asymptotically determine the maximum density of subgraphs isomorphic to $H$, where $H$ is any graph containing a dominating vertex, in graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree and bounded clique number. That is, we…
Erd\H{o}s and Moser raised the question of determining the maximum number of maximal cliques or equivalently, the maximum number of maximal independent sets in a graph on $n$ vertices. Since then there has been a lot of research along these…

Bipartite graphs are a prevalent modeling tool for real-world networks, capturing interactions between vertices of two different types. Within this framework, bicliques emerge as crucial structures when studying dense subgraphs: they are…
We consider a variant of the planted clique problem where we are allowed unbounded computational time but can only investigate a small part of the graph by adaptive edge queries. We determine (up to logarithmic factors) the number of…
