AbstractThe k-clique problem is identifying the largest complete subgraph of size k on a network, and it has many applications in Social Network Analysis (SNA), coding theory, geometry, etc. Due to the NP-Complete nature of the problem, the meta-heuristic approaches have raised the interest of the researchers and some algorithms are developed. In this paper, a new algorithm based on the Bat optimization approach is developed for finding the maximum k-clique on a social network to increase the convergence speed and evaluation criteria such as Precision, Recall, and F1-score. The proposed algorithm is simulated in Matlab® software over Dolphin social network and DIMACS dataset for k = 3, 4, 5. The computational results show that the convergence speed on the former dataset is increased in comparison with the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) approaches. Besides, the evaluation criteria are also modified on the latter dataset and the F1-score is obtained as 100% for k = 5.

The rapid development of network and information technology makes the network become the indispensable part in people's life. Network design uses email as a starting point, instead of actual letters. Then Happy Nets, BBS etc. are evolved from it, with virtual as their major feature. In the process of social networks evolution, the personal image transformed from the actual into the virtual one. All this has contributed to the birth of the social network, which then makes the contacts among people presenting the feature of network expansion and cost reduction. The popular social network nowadays is considered to be social plus network, namely, through the network, as a carrier, people are connected to form a virtual community with certain characteristics. Based on the genetic algorithm and genetic coding technology, the article is designed to make the optimal data analysis and create a optimistic cyber environment in the process of the social networks explosive development.
