We establish a novel connection between the well-known chromatic threshold problem in extremal combinatorics and the celebrated $(p,q)$-theorem in discrete geometry. In particular, for a graph $G$ with bounded clique number and a natural…
The maximal clique problem, to find the maximally sized clique in a given graph, is classically an NP-complete computational problem, which has potential applications ranging from electrical engineering, computational chemistry,…
It is well known that $n/(n - \mu)$, where $\mu$ is the spectral radius of a graph with $n$ vertices, is a lower bound for the clique number. We conjecture that $\mu$ can be replaced in this bound with $\sqrt{s^+}$, where $s^+$ is the sum…
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…
Let $H$ be a graph. We show that if $r$ is large enough as a function of $H$, then the $r$-partite Tur\'an graph maximizes the number of copies of $H$ among all $K_{r+1}$-free graphs on a given number of vertices. This confirms a conjecture…
The local Hamiltonian problem is famously complete for the class QMA, the quantum analogue of NP. The complexity of its semi-classical version, in which the terms of the Hamiltonian are required to commute (the CLH problem), has attracted…
We prove that for any $k \ge 3$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices contains at most $n - \omega(1)$ different sizes of cliques (maximal complete subgraphs). In particular, the 3-uniform case answers a question of Erd\H{o}s.
We show that for any integer $r\ge 2$, there exists a constant $c>0$ such that for every sufficiently large integer $n$, every $((r-1)n+1)$-regular graph $G$ on $rn$ vertices has at least $c2^{rn}$ subsets $S\subseteq V(G)$ such that $G[S]$…
The maximum clique problem (MCP) is to find the largest complete subgraph in an undirected graph, that is, the subgraph in which there are edges between every two different vertices. It is an NP-Hard problem with wide applications,…
This paper proposes a new algorithm for solving maximal cliques for simple undirected graphs using the theory of prime numbers. A novel approach using prime numbers is used to find cliques and ends with a discussion of the algorithm.
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…
This paper unifies the theory of consistent-set maximization for robust outlier detection in a simultaneous localization and mapping framework. We first describe the notion of pairwise consistency before discussing how a consistency graph…
Multiple interval graphs are variants of interval graphs where instead of a single interval, each vertex is assigned a set of intervals on the real line. We study the complexity of the MAXIMUM CLIQUE problem in several classes of multiple…
In 1965, Motzkin and Straus established a remarkable connection between the order of a maximum clique and the Lagrangian of a graph and provided a new proof of Tur\'an's theorem using the connection. The connection of Lagrangians and…
Given a graph $G$ and an integer $\ell\ge 2$, we denote by $\alpha_{\ell}(G)$ the maximum size of a $K_{\ell}$-free subset of vertices in $V(G)$. A recent question of Nenadov and Pehova asks for determining the best possible minimum degree…
Let r, s >= 2 be integers. Suppose that the number of blue r-cliques in a red/blue coloring of the edges of the complete graph K_n is known and fixed. What is the largest possible number of red s-cliques under this assumption? The well…
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…
We study the distribution of the set of copies of some given graph $H$ in the random graph $G(n,p)$, focusing on the case when $H = K_r$. Our main results capture the 'leading term' in the difference between this distribution and the…
We prove a generalisation of the Khukhro--Makarenko theorem on large characteristic subgroups with laws. This general fact implies new results on groups, algebras, and even graphs and other structures. Concerning groups, we obtain, e.g., a…
In this work we contribute to the study of the fine-grained complexity of problems parameterized by multi-clique-width, which was initiated by F\"urer [ITCS 2017] and pursued further by Chekan and Kratsch [MFCS 2023]. Multi-clique-width is…
