TLDR
In this article, the maximum number of cliques possible in a graph with n nodes is determined and bounds are obtained for the number of different sizes of clique possible in such a graph.
Abstract
A clique is a maximal complete subgraph of a graph. The maximum number of cliques possible in a graph withn nodes is determined. Also, bounds are obtained for the number of different sizes of cliques possible in such a graph.

Clique detection for nondirected graphs: Two new algorithms

L. Gerhards, +1 more
- 01 Dec 1979 - 
TL;DR: Two new methods for determining all maximal complete subgraphs (cliques) of a finite nondirected graph are described, in both methods the blockwise generation of all cliques induces characteristic properties, which guarantee an efficient calculation of special clique subsets.

A depth first search algorithm to generate the family of maximal independent sets of a graph lexicographically

TL;DR: A depth first search algorithm to generate the family of maximal independent sets of an undirected graph lexicographically is presented, which is at least three times faster than the Bron and Kerbosch algorithm and becomes increasingly more efficient as both the density and size of the graph increase.
