This paper introduces a fractional version of the classical maximum weight clique problem, the maximum ratio clique problem, which is to find a maximal clique that has the largest ratio of benefit and cost weights associated with the clique’s vertices. NP-completeness of the decision version...

A connected dominating set (CDS) is commonly used to model a virtual backbone of a wireless network. To bound the distance that information must travel through the network, we explicitly restrict the diameter of a CDS to be no more than s leading to the concept of a dominating s-club. We prove...
