Abstract

In this paper we present a fast algorithm for the maximum-weight clique problem on arbitrary undirected graphs, which is improved for the dense graphs. The algorithm uses colour classes and backtracking techniques inside itself in parallel in a form of a branch and bound algorithm. The algorithm contains also several improvements for the most complex case, which are dense graphs. Computational experiments with random graphs show that the proposed algorithm works faster than earlier published algorithms - more than 10 times faster than the best known algorithms. This difference is very sufficient for the maximum-weight clique problem.
