Given a graph G whose adjacency matrix is A, the Motzkin-Strauss formulation of the Maximum-Clique Problem is the quadratic program max{xTAx ∣ xTe = 1, x ≥ 0}. It is well known that the global optimum value of this QP is 1-1/ωG, where ωG is the clique number of G. Here, we characterize the following properties pertaining to the above QP: 1 first order optimality, 2 second order optimality, 3 local optimality, 4 strict local optimality. These characterizations reveal interesting underlying discrete structures, and are polynomial time verifiable. A parametrization of the Motzkin-Strauss QP is then introduced and its properties are investigated. Finally, an extension of the Motzkin-Strauss formulation is provided for the weighted clique number of a graph.
