A New Exact Algorithm for the Maximum Weight Clique Problem

چکیده
Given an undirected graph with weight for each vertex, the maximum weight clique problem is to find the clique of the maximum weight. Östergård proposed a fast exact algorithm for solving this problem. We show his algorithm is not efficient for very dense graphs. We propose an exact algorithm for the problem, which is faster than Östergård’s algorithm in case the graph is dense. We show the efficiency of our algorithm with some experimental results.

A new exact algorithm for the maximum-weight clique problem based on a heuristic vertex-coloring and a backtrack search
In this paper we present an exact algorithm for the maximum-weight clique problem on arbitrary undirected graphs. The algorithm based on a fact that vertices from the same independent set couldn’t be included into the same maximum clique. Those independent sets are obtained from a heuristic vertex coloring where each of them is a color class. Color classes and a backtrack search are used for pr...
متن کاملSome Improvements on Kumlander-s Maximum Weight Clique Extraction Algorithm
Some fast exact algorithms for the maximum weight clique problem have been proposed. Östergård’s algorithm is one of them. Kumlander says his algorithm is faster than it. But we confirmed that the straightforwardly implemented Kumlander’s algorithm is slower than Östergård’s algorithm. We propose some improvements on Kumlander’s algorithm. Keywords—Maximum weight clique, exact algorithm, branch...
متن کاملNew Ternary and Quaternary Equidistant Constant Weight Codes
We consider the problem of finding bounds on the size of ternary and quaternary equidistant constant weight codes. We present a computer realization of an algorithm for solving the maximum clique problem. We use it for finding the exact values of the maximum size for ternary and quaternary equidistant constant weight codes for all open cases for n ≤ 10 are found.
متن کاملAn Exact Algorithm for the Maximum Weight Clique Problem in Large Graphs
We describe an exact branch-and-bound algorithm for the maximum weight clique problem (MWC), called WLMC, that is especially suited for large vertex-weighted graphs. WLMC incorporates two original contributions: a preprocessing to derive an initial vertex ordering and to reduce the size of the graph, and incremental vertex-weight splitting to reduce the number of branches in the search space. E...
