The Maximum Number of 3- and 4-Cliques within a Planar Maximally Filtered Graph
Abstract
Planar Maximally Filtered Graphs (PMFG) are an important tool for filtering the most relevant information from correlation based networks such as stock market networks. One of the main characteristics of a PMFG is the number of its 3- and 4-cliques. Recently in a few high impact papers it was stated that, based on heuristic evidence, the maximum number of 3- and 4-cliques that can exist in a PMFG with n vertices is 3n - 8 and n - 4 respectively. In this paper, we prove that this is indeed the case.
