Finding a maximum clique in a given graph is one of the fundamental NP-hard problems. We compare two multi-core thread-parallel adaptations of a state-of-the-art branch and bound algorithm for the maximum clique problem, and provide a novel…
We introduce a new distributed algorithm for aligning graphs or finding substructures within a given graph. It is based on the cavity method and is used to study the maximum-clique and the graph-alignment problems in random graphs. The…
This paper addresses the problem of finding the densest $k$-vertex subgraph in an arbitrary graph. This problem is NP-hard and has important applications in social network analysis, fraud detection, recommendation systems, and…
This paper studies the problem of recovering a hidden vertex correspondence between two correlated graphs when both edge weights and node features are observed. While most existing work on graph alignment relies primarily on edge…
We consider the densest $k$-subgraph problem, which seeks to identify the $k$-node subgraph of a given input graph with maximum number of edges. This problem is well-known to be NP-hard, by reduction to the maximum clique problem. We…
The Maximum s-Bundle Problem (MBP) addresses the task of identifying a maximum s-bundle in a given graph. A graph G=(V, E) is called an s-bundle if its vertex connectivity is at least |V|-s, where the vertex connectivity equals the minimum…
This paper presents a novel approach to the optimisation of structures using a Tabu search (TS) method. TS is a metaheuristic which is used to guide local search methods towards a globally optimal solution by using flexible memory cycles of…
Tabu search is one of the most effective heuristics for locating high-quality solutions to a diverse array of NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems. Despite the widespread success of tabu search, researchers have a poor understanding…
The Maximum Weight Independent Set problem is a fundamental NP-hard problem in combinatorial optimization with several real-world applications. Given an undirected vertex-weighted graph, the problem is to find a subset of the vertices with…
We introduce a search problem for finding a regular bi-partite graph of maximum attainable girth for specified degree and number of vertices, by restricting the search space using a series of mathematically rigourous arguments from [1] and…
Recent advances in dynamic graph processing have enabled the analysis of highly dynamic graphs with change at rates as high as millions of edge changes per second. Solutions in this domain, however, have been demonstrated only for…
Extracting cohesive subgraphs from complex networks is a fundamental task in graph analytics and is essential for understanding biological, social, and web graphs. The edge-based $\gamma$-quasi-clique model offers a flexible alternative by…
This paper proposes a new general technique for maximal subgraph enumeration which we call proximity search, whose aim is to design efficient enumeration algorithms for problems that could not be solved by existing frameworks. To support…
The Max-Cut problem is a fundamental NP-hard problem, which is attracting attention in the field of quantum computation these days. Regarding the approximation algorithm of the Max-Cut problem, algorithms based on semidefinite programming…
The Maximum k-plex Problem is an important combinatorial optimization problem with increasingly wide applications. Due to its exponential time complexity, many heuristic methods have been proposed which can return a good-quality solution in…
Finding a maximum independent set is a fundamental NP-hard problem that is used in many real-world applications. Given an unweighted graph, this problem asks for a maximum cardinality set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices. Some of the most…
For a fixed finite collection of graphs ${\cal F}$, the ${\cal F}$-M-DELETION problem asks, given an $n$-vertex input graph $G,$ for the minimum number of vertices that intersect all minor models in $G$ of the graphs in ${\cal F}$. by…
The problem of finding a maximum $2$-matching without short cycles has received significant attention due to its relevance to the Hamilton cycle problem. This problem is generalized to finding a maximum $t$-matching which excludes specified…
Commonsense question answering is a crucial task that requires machines to employ reasoning according to commonsense. Previous studies predominantly employ an extracting-and-modeling paradigm to harness the information in KG, which first…
Biclustering, also known as co-clustering or two-way clustering, simultaneously partitions the rows and columns of a data matrix to reveal submatrices with coherent patterns. Incorporating background knowledge into clustering to enhance…
