In this paper we study the computational-statistical gap of the planted clique problem, where a clique of size $k$ is planted in an Erdos Renyi graph $G(n,\frac{1}{2})$ resulting in a graph $G\left(n,\frac{1}{2},k\right)$. The goal is to…

We investigate the problem of identifying planted cliques in random geometric graphs, focusing on two distinct algorithmic approaches: the first based on vertex degrees (VD) and the other on common neighbors (CN). We analyze the performance…
