A strong clique in a graph is a clique intersecting all inclusion-maximal stable sets. Strong cliques play an important role in the study of perfect graphs. We study strong cliques in the class of diamond-free graphs, from both structural…
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…
Finding "densely connected clusters" in a graph is in general an important and well studied problem in the literature \cite{Schaeffer}. It has various applications in pattern recognition, social networking and data mining…
The negative solution to the famous problem of $36$ officers of Euler implies that there are no two orthogonal Latin squares of order six. We show that the problem has a solution, provided the officers are entangled, and construct…
The problem of determining the maximum number of copies of $T$ in an $H$-free graph, for any graphs $T$ and $H$, was considered by Alon and Shikhelman. This is a variant of Tur\'{a}n's classical extremal problem. We show lower and upper…
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…
Finding complete subgraphs in a graph, that is, cliques, is a key problem and has many real-world applications, e.g., finding communities in social networks, clustering gene expression data, modeling ecological niches in food webs, and…
The maximum clique problem is a well known NP-Hard problem with applications in data mining, network analysis, information retrieval and many other areas related to the World Wide Web. There exist several algorithms for the problem with…
Since its first use by Euler on the problem of the seven bridges of K\"onigsberg, graph theory has shown excellent abilities in solving and unveiling the properties of multiple discrete optimization problems. The study of the structure of…
Quantum annealers can be used to solve many (possibly NP-hard) combinatorial optimization problems, by formulating them as quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problems or, equivalently, using the Ising formulation. In this…
This paper investigates the computational complexity of deciding whether the vertices of a graph can be partitioned into a disjoint union of cliques and a triangle-free subgraph. This problem is known to be $\NP$-complete on arbitrary…
We address the following general question: given a graph class C on which we can solve Maximum Matching in (quasi) linear time, does the same hold true for the class of graphs that can be modularly decomposed into C ? A major difficulty in…
We consider the maximum chromatic number of hypergraphs consisting of cliques that have pairwise small intersections. Designs of the appropriate parameters produce optimal constructions, but these are known to exist only when the number of…
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…
We consider the problem of determining the maximum order of an induced vertex-disjoint union of cliques in a graph. More specifically, given some family of graphs $\mathcal{G}$ of equal order, we are interested in the parameter…
In this paper, we consider the following two problems: (i) Deletion Blocker($\alpha$) where we are given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and two integers $k,d\geq 1$ and ask whether there exists a subset of vertices $S\subseteq V$ with…
Two of the most fundamental distributed symmetry-breaking problems are that of finding a maximal independent set (MIS) and a maximal matching (MM) in a graph. It is a major open question whether these problems can be solved in constant…
Let $\Gamma_k(V)$ be the Grassmann graph whose vertex set ${\mathcal G}_{k}(V)$ is formed by all $k$-dimensional subspaces of an $n$-dimensional vector space $V$ over the finite field $F_q$ consisting of $q$ elements. We discuss its…
A (unit) disk graph is the intersection graph of closed (unit) disks in the plane. Almost three decades ago, an elegant polynomial-time algorithm was found for \textsc{Maximum Clique} on unit disk graphs [Clark, Colbourn, Johnson; Discrete…
Maximal clique enumeration is a fundamental graph mining task, but its utility is often limited by computational intractability and highly redundant output. To address these challenges, we introduce \emph{$\rho$-dense aggregators}, a novel…
