Journal of Global Optimization Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In this paper we present a survey of results concerning algorithms, complexity, and applications of the maximum clique problem. We discuss enumerative and exact algorithms, heuristics, and a variety of other proposed methods. An up to date bibliography on the maximum clique and related problems is also provided.
