Listing copies of small subgraphs (such as triangles, $4$-cycles, small cliques) in the input graph is an important and well-studied problem in algorithmic graph theory. In this paper, we give a simple algorithm that lists $t$ (non-induced)…

We study the planted clique problem in which a clique of size k is planted in an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph G(n, 1/2), and one is interested in either detecting or recovering this planted clique. This problem is interesting because it is…

We consider a problem of approximating the size of the largest clique in a graph, with a monotone circuit. Concretely, we focus on distinguishing a random Erd\H{o}s-Renyi graph $\mathcal{G}_{n,p}$, with $p=n^{-\frac{2}{\alpha-1}}$ chosen…

We present a new approach for solving (minimum disagreement) correlation clustering that results in sublinear algorithms with highly efficient time and space complexity for this problem. In particular, we obtain the following algorithms for…

The Cluster Deletion problem takes a graph $G$ as input and asks for a minimum size set of edges $X$ such that $G-X$ is the disjoint union of complete graphs. An equivalent formulation is the Clique Partition problem, which asks to find a…

We prove that for $k \ll \sqrt[4]{n}$ regular resolution requires length $n^{\Omega(k)}$ to establish that an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph with appropriately chosen edge density does not contain a $k$-clique. This lower bound is optimal up to…

We propose a fast, parallel maximum clique algorithm for large sparse graphs that is designed to exploit characteristics of social and information networks. The method exhibits a roughly linear runtime scaling over real-world networks…

In a recent paper, Kahn gave the strongest possible, affirmative, answer to Shamir's problem, which had been open since the late 1970s: Let $r \ge 3 $ and let $n$ be divisible by $r$. Then, in the random $r$-uniform hypergraph process on…

Let k_r(n,m) denote the minimum number of r-cliques in graphs with n vertices and m edges. For r=3,4 we give a lower bound on k_r(n,m) that approximates k_r(n,m) with an error smaller than n^r/(n^2-2m). The solution is based on a constraint…

A \emph{disk graph} is the intersection graph of (closed) disks in the plane. We consider the classic problem of finding a maximum clique in a disk graph. For general disk graphs, the complexity of this problem is still open, but for unit…

In the subgraph counting problem, we are given a input graph $G(V, E)$ and a target graph $H$; the goal is to estimate the number of occurrences of $H$ in $G$. Our focus here is on designing sublinear-time algorithms for approximately…

Random graph matching refers to recovering the underlying vertex correspondence between two random graphs with correlated edges; a prominent example is when the two random graphs are given by Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graphs $G(n,\frac{d}{n})$.…
