KClist++: A Simple Algorithm for Finding k-Clique Densest Subgraphs in Large Graphs

Summary: KClist++ offers a surprisingly simple procedure for exact and near-optimal k-clique densest subgraph discovery at scale. It combines structural results, k-clique listing, and sampling to deliver state-of-the-art performance on massive real-world graphs. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
