Abstract

The article reports on finding all subgraphs of an undirected graph [H]. A maximal complete subgraph is also called clique which refers to a complete subgraph that is not included in any other complete subgraph. According to the authors, a research paper was released wherein descriptions of techniques to find maximal complete subgraphs are provided. The authors discussed two algorithms using a branch-and-bound technique so that there will be no clique. The first algorithm produces cliques in lexicographic order while the second is derived from the first algorithm.
