Abstract
Edge k -Clique Partition k -ECP is the problem of dividing the edge set of an undirected graph into a set of at most k edge-disjoint cliques, where k ≥ 1 is an input parameter. The problem is NP-hard but in FPT. We propose several improved FPT algorithms for k -ECP on K 4-free graphs, planar graphs, and cubic graphs.
