Clique relaxation problems are important extension versions of the maximum clique problem with extensive real-world applications. Although lots of studies focus on designing local search algorithms ...

Graph-theoretic problems of identifying maximum cliques and maximum independent sets occupy a central place in combinatorial optimisation and theoretical computer science. A clique is a set of ...

Since the very first days of computer science — a field known for its methodical approach to problem-solving — randomness has played an important role. The first program to run on the world’s first ...
