Abstract
Systems, methods and articles solve queries or database problems through the use of graphs. An association graph may be formed based on a query graph and a database graph. The association graph may be solved for a clique, providing the results to a query or problem and/or an indication of a level of responsiveness of the results. Thus, unlimited relaxation of constraint may be achieved. Analog processors such as quantum processors may be used to solve for the clique.
