In this article we use the modular decomposition technique for exact solving the weighted maximum clique problem. Our algorithm takes the modular decomposition tree from the paper of Tedder et. al. and finds solution recursively. Also, we…

We consider the problems of finding a maximum clique in a graph and finding a maximum-edge biclique in a bipartite graph. Both problems are NP-hard. We write both problems as matrix-rank minimization and then relax them using the nuclear…

It is known that problems like Vertex Cover, Feedback Vertex Set and Odd Cycle Transversal are polynomial time solvable in the class of chordal graphs. We consider these problems in a graph that has at most $k$ vertices whose deletion…

We propose new graph representations that exploit dense local structure to improve time and space simultaneously. Given an undirected graph $G$, we define a dual clique cover (DCC) representation of $G$ to be the pair $(C, L)$, where $C$ is…

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…

When considering a graph problem from a parameterized point of view, the parameter chosen is often the size of an optimal solution of this problem (the "standard" parameter). A natural subject for investigation is what happens when we…

We propose a novel graph pooling operation using cliques as the unit pool. As this approach is purely topological, rather than featural, it is more readily interpretable, a better analogue to image coarsening than filtering or pruning…

Clustering is a well-known and important problem with numerous applications. The graph-based model is one of the typical cluster models. In the graph model, clusters are generally defined as cliques. However, such an approach might be too…

We study reconfiguration problems for cliques in a graph, which determine whether there exists a sequence of cliques that transforms a given clique into another one in a step-by-step fashion. As one step of a transformation, we consider…

Given a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, the 2-Load coloring problem is to check whether there is a $2$-coloring $f:V(G) \rightarrow \{r,b\}$ of $G$ such that for every $i \in \{r,b\}$, there are at least $k$ edges with both end…
