(I) We revisit the algorithmic problem of finding all triangles in a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. According to a result of Chiba and Nishizeki (1985), this task can be achieved by a combinatorial algorithm running in…
We propose an efficient algorithm for matching two correlated Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi graphs with $n$ vertices whose edges are correlated through a latent vertex correspondence. When the edge density $q= n^{- \alpha+o(1)}$ for a constant $\alpha…
