Abstract
Many computer vision and patter recognition problems are intimately related to the maximum clique problem. Due to the intractability of this problem, besides the development of heuristics, a research direction consists in trying to find good bounds on the clique number of graphs. This paper introduces a new spectral upper bound on the clique number of graphs, which is obtained by exploiting an invariance of a continuous characterization of the clique number of graphs introduced by Motzkin and Straus. Experimental results on random graphs show the superiority of our bounds over the standard literature.
