Combinatorial properties and further facets of maximum edge subgraph polytopes
Given a graph G and an integer k, the maximum edge subgraph problem consists in finding a k-vertex subset of G such that the number of edges within the subset is maximum. This NP-hard problem arises in the analysis of cohesive subgroups in social networks. In this work we study the polytope P(G,k) a...
