| Abstract: | The maximum clique problem is one of the NP-complete problems. There are graphs for which a reduction technique exists that transforms the problem for these graphs into one for graphs with specific properties in polynomial time. The resulting graphs do not grow exponentially in order and number. Graphs that allow such a reduction technique are called soft. Hard graphs are those graphs for which none of the reduction techniques can be applied. A list of properties of hard graphs is determined. |
