We initiate the study of diameter computation in geometric intersection graphs from the fine-grained complexity perspective. A geometric intersection graph is a graph whose vertices correspond to some shapes in $d$-dimensional Euclidean…
Given an undirected graph and $0\le\epsilon\le1$, a set of nodes is called $\epsilon$-near clique if all but an $\epsilon$ fraction of the pairs of nodes in the set have a link between them. In this paper we present a fast synchronous…
In this work, we consider the problem of sampling a $k$-clique in a graph from an almost uniform distribution in sublinear time in the general graph query model. Specifically the algorithm should output each $k$-clique with probability…
Link streams offer a good model for representing interactions over time. They consist of links $(b,e,u,v)$, where $u$ and $v$ are vertices interacting during the whole time interval $[b,e]$. In this paper, we deal with the problem of…
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…
We study the problem of finding a maximum-cardinality set of $r$-cliques in an undirected graph of fixed maximum degree $\Delta$, subject to the cliques in that set being either vertex-disjoint or edge-disjoint. It is known for $r=3$ that…
A $k$-defective clique of an undirected graph $G$ is a subset of its vertices that induces a nearly complete graph with a maximum of $k$ missing edges. The maximum $k$-defective clique problem, which asks for the largest $k$-defective…
We consider the problem of partitioning the set of vertices of a given unit disk graph (UDG) into a minimum number of cliques. The problem is NP-hard and various constant factor approximations are known, with the current best ratio of 3.…
Given query access to an undirected graph $G$, we consider the problem of computing a $(1\pm\epsilon)$-approximation of the number of $k$-cliques in $G$. The standard query model for general graphs allows for degree queries, neighbor…
A subcoloring of a graph is a partition of its vertex set into subsets (called colors), each inducing a disjoint union of cliques. It is a natural generalization of the classical proper coloring, in which each color must instead induce an…
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…
Given in the plane a set $S$ of $n$ points and a set of disks centered at these points, the disk graph $G(S)$ induced by these disks has vertex set $S$ and an edge between two vertices if their disks intersect. Note that the disks may have…
A graph is $k$-clique-extendible if there is an ordering of the vertices such that whenever two $k$-sized overlapping cliques $A$ and $B$ have $k-1$ common vertices, and these common vertices appear between the two vertices $a,b\in…
In this article we present the idea of clique ceiling numbers of the vertices of a given graph that has a universal vertex. We follow up with a polynomial-time algorithm to compute an upper bound for the clique number of such a graph using…
Let $F$ be a set of $n$ objects in the plane and let $G(F)$ be its intersection graph. A balanced clique-based separator of $G(F)$ is a set $S$ consisting of cliques whose removal partitions $G(F)$ into components of size at most $\delta…
The MaxClique problem, finding the largest complete subgraph in an Erd{\"o}s-R{\'e}nyi $G(N,p)$ random graph in the large $N$ limit, is a well-known example of a simple problem for which finding any approximate solution within a factor of…
A link stream is a collection of triplets $(t, u, v)$ indicating that an interaction occurred between u and v at time t. We generalize the classical notion of cliques in graphs to such link streams: for a given $\Delta$, a $\Delta$-clique…
Intersection graphs of planar geometric objects such as intervals, disks, rectangles and pseudo-disks are well studied. Motivated by various applications, Butman et al. in SODA 2007 considered algorithmic questions in intersection graphs of…
In a disk graph, every vertex corresponds to a disk in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and two vertices are connected by an edge whenever the two corresponding disks intersect. Disk graphs form an important class of geometric intersection graphs, which…
A strong clique in a graph is a clique intersecting every maximal independent set. We study the computational complexity of six algorithmic decision problems related to strong cliques in graphs and almost completely determine their…
