Problem description

Given a valued graph G=(V,E) of n nodes and a number k, the problem is to find a subset S of V having a cardinality k and such that the induced subgraph is as dense as possible.



Files format  

Each .dat file contains one instance, in the following format : Number of nodes, k, Number of edges, and then, for any edge [i,j] with i < j wij = 0.5 if and only if an edge links vertices i and j

n k nb_non_zero matrix W
W entries

The optimal solution values are reported here
