of vertices within a graph. However, in many real-world situations, the classical problem of
finding a clique is required to be relaxed. This motivates the problem of finding quasicliques
that are almost complete subgraphs of a graph. In sparse and very large scale-free
networks, the problem of finding the largest quasi-clique becomes hard to manage with the
existing approaches. Here, we propose a heuristic algorithm in this paper for locating the …
