Computing A Near-Maximum Independent Set in Linear Time by Reducing-Peeling

TL;DR: A Reducing-Peeling framework which iteratively reduces the graph size by applying reduction rules on vertices with very low degrees and temporarily removing the vertex with the highest degree if the reduction rules cannot be applied, and a linear-time algorithm and a near-linear time algorithm that can generate a high-quality independent set from a graph in practice.

Efficient Maximum Clique Computation over Large Sparse Graphs

TL;DR: An algorithm MC-BRB is designed which transforms an instance of MCC-Sparse to instances of k-clique finding over dense subgraphs (KCF-Dense) that can be computed by the existing MCC -Dense solvers, and a new branch-reduce-&-bound framework for KCF- Dense is developed.

Reducibility Among Combinatorial Problems

TL;DR: The work of Dantzig, Fulkerson, Hoffman, Edmonds, Lawler and other pioneers on network flows, matching and matroids acquainted me with the elegant and efficient algorithms that were sometimes possible.

Reducibility Among Combinatorial Problems.

TL;DR: Throughout the 1960s I worked on combinatorial optimization problems including logic circuit design with Paul Roth and assembly line balancing and the traveling salesman problem with Mike Held, which made me aware of the importance of distinction between polynomial-time and superpolynomial-time solvability.

Algorithm 457: finding all cliques of an undirected graph

TL;DR: Two backtracking algorithms are presented, using a branchand-bound technique [4] to cut off branches that cannot lead to a clique, and generates cliques in a rather unpredictable order in an attempt to minimize the number of branches to be traversed.

Network structure and minimum degree

TL;DR: An approach to network cohesion is proposed that is based on minimum degree and which produces a sequence of subgraphs of gradually increasing cohesion that associates with any network measures of local density which promise to be useful both in characterizing network structures and in comparing networks.
