We address the problem of enumerating all maximal clique-partitions of an undirected graph and present an algorithm based on the observation that every maximal clique-partition can be produced from the maximal clique-cover of the graph by…
A k-plex in a graph is a vertex set where each vertex is non-adjacent to at most k vertices (including itself) in this set, and the Maximum k-plex Problem (MKP) is to find the largest k-plex in the graph. As a practical NP-hard problem, MKP…
