Efficient k-Clique Densest Subgraph Discovery: Towards Bridging Practice and Theory
Summary: Provably sound graph-reduction that localizes the k-clique densest subgraph into a tiny subgraph, tackling high-degeneracy real-world graphs. Combines this reduction with fast k-clique counting to give an approximation with formal guarantees that is up to 10^4× faster and much more memory-efficient in practice.
