Clique (graph theory)

In the mathematical area of graph theory, a clique (/ˈkliːk/ or /ˈklɪk/) is a subset of vertices of an undirected graph such that every two distinct vertices in the clique are adjacent. That is, a clique of a graph is an induced subgraph of that is complete. Cliques are one of the basic concepts of graph theory and are used in many other mathematical problems and constructions on graphs. Cliques have also been studied in computer science: the task of finding whether there is a clique of a given size in a graph (the clique problem) is NP-complete, but despite this hardness result, many algorithms for finding cliques have been studied. Although the study of complete subgraphs goes back at least to the graph-theoretic reformulation of Ramsey theory by , the term clique comes from , who used complete subgraphs in social networks to model cliques of people; that is, groups of people all of whom know each other. Cliques have many other applications in the sciences and particularly in bioinformatics. (Wikipedia).

What is a Clique? | Graph Theory, Cliques

What is a clique? A clique in graph theory is an interesting concept with a lot of depth to explore. We define the term and give some examples in today's math video lesson! A clique C of a graph G is usually defined as a subset of the vertex set of G such that every pair of distinct verti

What is a Maximal Clique? | Graph Theory, Cliques, Maximal Cliques

What are maximal cliques? Cliques are cool, but there are some special types of cliques as well, one of which is the maximal clique, which we discuss in today's graph theory video lesson! Remember that a clique is a set of vertices that are all adjacent in a graph, or it is also sometimes

What are the Maximum and Maximal Cliques of this Graph? | Graph Theory

How do we find the maximum and maximal cliques of a graph? We'll go over an example in today's graph theory lesson of doing just that! To use these elementary methods, we just need to remember our definitions. A clique of a graph G is a complete subgraph of G. We also call the vertex set

Maximum and Maximal Cliques | Graph Theory, Clique Number

What are maximum cliques and maximal cliques in graph theory? We'll be defining both terms in today's video graph theory lesson, as well as going over an example of finding maximal and maximum cliques in a graph. These two terms can be a little confusing, so let's dig in and clarify our un

What are Connected Graphs? | Graph Theory

What is a connected graph in graph theory? That is the subject of today's math lesson! A connected graph is a graph in which every pair of vertices is connected, which means there exists a path in the graph with those vertices as endpoints. We can think of it this way: if, by traveling acr

What is a Graph? | Graph Theory

What is a graph? A graph theory graph, in particular, is the subject of discussion today. In graph theory, a graph is an ordered pair consisting of a vertex set, then an edge set. Graphs are often represented as diagrams, with dots representing vertices, and lines representing edges. Each

Graph Theory FAQs: 01. More General Graph Definition

In video 02: Definition of a Graph, we defined a (simple) graph as a set of vertices together with a set of edges where the edges are 2-subsets of the vertex set. Notice that this definition does not allow for multiple edges or loops. In general on this channel, we have been discussing o
