Efficient Maximum k-Defective Clique Computation with Improved Time Complexity
Lijun Chang
Abstract:k-defective cliques relax cliques by allowing up-to k missing edges from being a complete graph. This relaxation enables us to find larger near-cliques and has applications in link prediction, cluster detection, social network analysis and transportation science. The problem of finding the largest k-defective clique has been recently studied with several algorithms being proposed in the literature. However, the currently fastest algorithm KDBB does not improve its time complexity from being the trivial O(2n), … Show more
