Popis: We present a branch and bound algorithm for the maximum clique problem in arbitrary graphs. The main part of the algorithm consists in the determination of upper bounds by graph colorings. Using a modification of a known graph coloring method called DSATUR we simultaneously derive lower and upper bounds for the clique number.
