Maximum Clique Problem

The Maximum Clique Problem involves finding the largest group of items in a network that are all directly connected to each other. Imagine a social network where each person is a point, and friendships are lines connecting them. The goal is to find the biggest group where every person is friends with every other person. This problem is important in areas like social network analysis and bioinformatics, but it’s computationally challenging because as the network grows, identifying these maximum groups becomes increasingly complex.
