<description>Given an undirected graph, a clique is a subset of vertices in which the induced subgraph is complete; that is, all pairs of vertices&#xd;
of this subset are adjacent. Clique problems in graphs are very important due to their numerous applications. One of these&#xd;
problems is the clique partitioning problem (CPP), which consists of dividing the set of vertices of a graph into the smallest&#xd;
number of cliques possible. The CPP is an NP-hard problem with many application fields (timetabling, manufacturing, scheduling, telecommunications, etc.). Despite its great applicability, few recent studies have focused on proposing specific resolution&#xd;
methods for the CPP. This article presents a resolution method that combines multistart strategies with tabu search. The most&#xd;
novel characteristic of our method is that it allows unfeasible solutions to be visited, which facilitates exploration of the solution&#xd;
space. The computational tests show that our method performs better than previous methods proposed for this problem. In fact,&#xd;
our method strictly improves the results of these methods in most of the instances considered while requiring less computation&#xd;
time.</description>
