Let G = (V,E) be an n-vertex graph and M_d a d-vertex graph, for some constant d. Is M_d a subgraph of G? We consider this problem in a model where all n processes are connected to all other processes, and each message contains up to O(log…
We show an $\tilde{O}(n^{p/(p+2)})$-round algorithm in the \congest model for \emph{listing} of $K_p$ (a clique with $p$ nodes), for all $p =4, p\geq 6$. For $p = 5$, we show an $\tilde{O}(n^{3/4})$-round algorithm. For $p=4$ and $p=5$, our…
