Accelerating Maximal Clique Enumeration via Graph Reduction
Summary: RMCE: a reduction-based MCE framework that eliminates redundant recursive work using three reductions—global graph reduction, dynamic subgraph reduction, and a neighborhood-dominance maximality-check reduction. These shrink search space and verification cost, yielding large speedups over prior enumerators on 18 real graphs. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
