Maximum k-Plex Computation: Theory and Practice
Summary: Introduces kPlexT, a two-stage exact max k-plex solver with new reductions and branching, lowering the exponential base to gamma_k. Theoretical bounds depend on alpha and max degree Delta; kPlexT gives practical performance and applies to quasi-cliques and k-biplexes. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
