Figure 2: (a) After removing nodes 𝑝 , 𝑞 , 𝑟 , and 𝑠 and their edges, node 𝑥 forms a near-clique of type A with the remaining nodes. (b) This graph becomes a near-clique 𝐺 of type C since i n d e g r e e ( 𝑥 , 𝐺 ) ≥ 0 . 5 | 𝐺 | . (c) A big near-clique is too big (e.g., near-clique with more than 50 nodes) and is split into smaller near-cliques (in this example, 3 small near-cliques).
