Theoretically and Practically Efficient Maximum Defective Clique Search
Summary: Theoretically and practically efficient max k-defective clique search using new branch-reduction rules and pivot-based branching. O(m gamma_k^n) with gamma_k<2 (k=1–3: 1.466–1.889); color- and non-neighbor-based pruning plus an ordering-based preprocessor; 300-graph experiments show 3 orders of magnitude speedups over prior work.
