Abstract In an earlier work [6] the concept of splitting partition of a graph was introduced in connection with the maximum clique problem. A splitting partition of a graph can be used to replace the graph by two smaller graphs in the course of a clique search algorithm. In other words splitting partitions can serve as a branching rule in an algorithm to compute the clique number of a given graph. In the paper we revisit this branching idea. We will describe a technique to construct not necessary optimal splitting partitions. The given graph can be viewed as a metric space and the geometry of this space plays a guiding role. In order to assess the performance of the procedure we carried out numerical experiments.

In this paper, we introduce DLS-MC, a new stochastic local search algorithm for the maximum clique problem. DLS-MC alternates between phases of iterative improvement, during which suitable vertices are added to the current clique, and plateau search, during which vertices of the current clique are swapped with vertices not contained in the current clique. The selection of vertices is solely based on vertex penalties that are dynamically adjusted during the search, and a perturbation mechanism is used to overcome search stagnation. The behaviour of DLS-MC is controlled by a single parameter, penalty delay, which controls the frequency at which vertex penalties are reduced. We show empirically that DLS-MC achieves substantial performance improvements over state-of-the-art algorithms for the maximum clique problem over a large range of the commonly used DIMACS benchmark instances.
