Maximum Defective Clique Computation: Improved Time Complexities and Practical Performance
Summary: Improves exact maximum k-defective clique computation, tightening the exponential base from γ_k to γ_{k−1} and deriving degeneracy/degree-sensitive bounds. A new degree-sequence reduction rule yields orders-of-magnitude practical gains across 290 graphs. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
