In this paper, we introduce the clique-blew up graph $CL(G)$ of a given graph $G$, which is obtained from $G$ by replacing each edge of $G$ with a complete graph $K_n$. We characterize all the normalized Laplacian spectrum of the grpah…

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…

Finding cliques in random graphs and the closely related "planted" clique variant, where a clique of size k is planted in a random G(n, 1/2) graph, have been the focus of substantial study in algorithm design. Despite much effort, the best…

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…

The ordinary generating function of the number of complete subgraphs (cliques) of $G$, denoted by $C(G,x)$, is called the The clique polynomial of the graph $G$. In this paper, we first introduce some \emph{clique} incidence matrices…

We consider the pattern detection problem in graphs: given a constant size pattern graph $H$ and a host graph $G$, determine whether $G$ contains a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Our main results are: * We prove that if a pattern $H$ contains…

We consider the k-disjoint-clique problem. The input is an undirected graph G in which the nodes represent data items, and edges indicate a similarity between the corresponding items. The problem is to find within the graph k disjoint…

In this work, we consider the application of continuous time quantum walking(CTQW) to the Maximum Clique(MC) Problem. Performing CTQW on graphs will generate distinct periodic probability amplitude for different vertices. We will show that…

We systematically study a natural problem in extremal graph theory, to minimize the number of edges in a graph with a fixed number of vertices, subject to a certain local condition: each vertex must be in a copy of a fixed graph $H$. We…

We say that a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$ is \emph{clique-sparse} if there is a constant $k=k(\mathcal{G})$ such that for every graph $G\in\mathcal{G}$, every vertex of $G$ belongs to at most $k$ maximal cliques, and any maximal…

The clique graph $kG$ of a graph $G$ has as its vertices the cliques (maximal complete subgraphs) of $G$, two of which are adjacent in $kG$ if they have non-empty intersection in $G$. We say that $G$ is clique convergent if $k^nG\cong k^m…

This paper considers the following question: What is the maximum number of $k$-cliques in an $n$-vertex graph with no $K_t$-minor? This question generalises the extremal function for $K_t$-minors, which corresponds to the $k=2$ case. The…

We consider the problem of finding a large clique in an Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph where we are allowed unbounded computational time but can only query a limited number of edges. Recall that the largest clique in $G \sim G(n,1/2)$ has…

Many graph mining applications rely on detecting subgraphs which are near-cliques. There exists a dichotomy between the results in the existing work related to this problem: on the one hand the densest subgraph problem (DSP) which maximizes…

Let k_r(n,m) denote the minimum number of r-cliques in graphs with n vertices and m edges. For r=3,4 we give a lower bound on k_r(n,m) that approximates k_r(n,m) with an error smaller than n^r/(n^2-2m). The solution is based on a constraint…
