We define a novel parameter of the input instance, $g_k(G)$, the gap between the degeneracy bound and the size of the maximum $k$-plex in the given graph, and present an exact algorithm parameterized by this $g_k(G)$, which has a worst-case running time polynomial in the size of the input graph and exponential in $g_k(G)$.
