Consider an Erd\"os-Renyi random graph in which each edge is present independently with probability 1/2, except for a subset $\sC_N$ of the vertices that form a clique (a completely connected subgraph). We consider the problem of…

We are given a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, where a random subset of $k$ vertices has been made into a clique, and the remaining edges are chosen independently with probability $\tfrac12$. This random graph model is denoted…

We study finding and listing $k$-cliques in a graph, for constant $k\geq 3$, a fundamental problem of both theoretical and practical importance. Our main contribution is a new output-sensitive algorithm for listing $k$-cliques in graphs,…

The bandwidth of a graph is the labeling of vertices with minimum maximum edge difference. For many graph families this is NP-complete. A classic result computes the bandwidth for the hypercube. We generalize this result to give sharp lower…
