The $k$-defective clique model relaxes the strict completeness constraint of the traditional clique by allowing up to $k$ missing edges, providing a robust formulation for detecting cohesive structures in noisy graphs. Consequently, the…
We introduce and study a new optimization problem called Hyper Vertex Cover. This problem is a generalization of the standard vertex cover to hypergraphs: one seeks a configuration of particles with minimal density such that every hyperedge…
