Efficient maximal cliques enumeration in weakly closed graphs (2303.02390v2)
Published 4 Mar 2023 in cs.DS
Abstract: We show that the algorithm presented in [J. Fox, T. Roughgarden, C. Seshadhri, F. Wei, and N. Wein. Finding cliques in social networks: A new distribution-free model. SIAM journal on computing, 49(2):448-464, 2020.] can be modified to have enumeration time complexity $\alpha\mathcal{O} (npoly(c))$. Here parameter $c$ is the weakly closure of the graph and $\alpha$ its number of maximal cliques. This result improves on their complexity which was not output sensitive and exponential in the closure of the graph.
