Efficient Maximum k-Defective Clique Computation with Improved Time Complexity
Summary: Introduces kDC, a framework for exact maximum k-defective clique with sub-2^n time, via non-fully-adjacent-first branching, excess-removal, and high-degree reductions. Separates worst-case techniques from practical optimizations; adds a tighter upper bound, two reductions, and fast initial solution; benchmarks on 290 graphs show kDC vastly outperforms KDBB.
