A strong clique in a graph is a clique intersecting all inclusion-maximal stable sets. Strong cliques play an important role in the study of perfect graphs. We study strong cliques in the class of diamond-free graphs, from both structural…
Finding a Maximum Clique is a classic property test from graph theory; find any one of the largest complete subgraphs in an Erd\"os-R\'enyi G(N, p) random graph. We use Maximum Clique to explore the structure of the problem as a function of…
The maximum clique problem is a well known NP-Hard problem with applications in data mining, network analysis, informatics, and many other areas. Although there exist several algorithms with acceptable runtimes for certain classes of…
The problem of maximising the number of cliques among $n$-vertex graphs from various graph classes has received considerable attention. We investigate this problem for the class of $1$-planar graphs where we determine precisely the maximum…

A clique transversal in a graph is a set of vertices intersecting all maximal cliques. The problem of determining the minimum size of a clique transversal has received considerable attention in the literature. In this paper, we initiate the…
The class ${\cal L}_k$ of $k$-leaf powers consists of graphs $G=(V,E)$ that have a $k$-leaf root, that is, a tree $T$ with leaf set $V$, where $xy \in E$, if and only if the $T$-distance between $x$ and $y$ is at most $k$. Structure and…
Given a graph $G$, the strong clique number $\omega_2'(G)$ of $G$ is the cardinality of a largest collection of edges every pair of which are incident or connected by an edge in $G$. We study the strong clique number of graphs missing some…
We study graphs whose chromatic number is close to the order of the graph (the number of vertices). Both when the chromatic number is a constant multiple of the order and when the difference of the chromatic number and the order is a small…
A graph is said to be well-covered if all its maximal independent sets are of the same size. In 1999, Yamashita and Kameda introduced a subclass of well-covered graphs, called localizable graphs and defined as graphs having a partition of…
Multi-layer graphs consist of several graphs (layers) over the same vertex set. They are motivated by real-world problems where entities (vertices) are associated via multiple types of relationships (edges in different layers). We chart the…
Finding the maximum clique is a known NP-Complete problem and it is also hard to approximate. This work proposes two efficient algorithms to obtain it. Nevertheless, the first one is able to fins the maximum for some special cases, while…
A \emph{clique} is a set of pairwise adjacent vertices in a graph. We determine the maximum number of cliques in a graph for the following graph classes: (1) graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges; (2) graphs with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges,…
A clique of a graph is a maximal set of vertices of size at least 2 that induces a complete graph. A $k$-clique-colouring of a graph is a colouring of the vertices with at most $k$ colours such that no clique is monochromatic. D\'efossez…
When searching for characteristic subpatterns in potentially noisy graph data, it appears self-evident that having multiple observations would be better than having just one. However, it turns out that the inconsistencies introduced when…
In extremal graph theory, the problem of finding the elements of a given class of graphs which contain the most cliques traces its routes back to Tur\'an's famous theorem. We consider the implications of the connectivity property of…
It is shown how to construct a clique graph in which properties of cliques of a fixed order in a given graph are represented by vertices in a weighted graph. Various definitions and motivations for these weights are given. The detection of…
This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of the Maximum Clique Problem, a computational problem that involves finding subsets of vertices in a graph that are all pairwise adjacent to each other. The manuscript covers in a simple way…
In social networks the {\sc Strong Triadic Closure} is an assignment of the edges with strong or weak labels such that any two vertices that have a common neighbor with a strong edge are adjacent. The problem of maximizing the number of…
A grounded 1-bend string graph is an intersection graph of a set of polygonal lines, each with one bend, such that the lines lie above a common horizontal line $\ell$ and have exactly one endpoint on $\ell$. We show that the problem of…
