We address the problem of enumerating all maximal clique-partitions of an undirected graph and present an algorithm based on the observation that every maximal clique-partition can be produced from the maximal clique-cover of the graph by…

We consider the task of detecting a hidden bipartite subgraph in a given random graph. This is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem, under the null hypothesis, the graph is a realization of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph over $n$…

A $k$-defective clique is a relaxation of the traditional clique definition, allowing up to $k$ missing edges. This relaxation is crucial in various real-world applications such as link prediction, community detection, and social network…

We give a simple, greedy $O(n^{\omega+0.5})=O(n^{2.872})$-time algorithm to list-decode planted cliques in a semirandom model introduced in [CSV17] (following [FK01]) that succeeds whenever the size of the planted clique is $k\geq…

Detection of planted subgraphs in Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs has been extensively studied, leading to a rich body of results characterizing both statistical and computational thresholds. However, most prior work assumes a purely random…

We give a polynomial-time algorithm that finds a planted clique of size $k \ge \sqrt{n \log n}$ in the semirandom model, improving the state-of-the-art $\sqrt{n} (\log n)^2$ bound. This $\textit{semirandom planted clique problem}$ concerns…

Motivated by an application in community detection, we consider an \ER random graph conditioned on the rare event that all connected components are fully connected. Such graphs can be considered as partitions of vertices into cliques.…

The planted clique problem is a paradigmatic model of statistical-to-computational gaps: the planted clique is information-theoretically detectable if its size $k\ge 2\log_2 n$ but polynomial-time algorithms only exist for the recovery task…

While the reliable use of some NP-complete problem in tandem with the assumption that P is not equal to NP has eluded cryptographers due to lack of results showing average-case hardness, one alternative which has been explored is reliance…

The planted densest subgraph detection problem refers to the task of testing whether in a given (random) graph there is a subgraph that is unusually dense. Specifically, we observe an undirected and unweighted graph on $n$ vertices. Under…

A graph is inductive $k$-independent if there exists and ordering of its vertices $v_{1},...,v_{n}$ such that $\alpha(G[N(v_{i})\cap V_{i}])\leq k $ where $N(v_{i})$ is the neighborhood of $v_{i}$, $V_{i}=\{v_{i},...,v_{n}\}$ and $\alpha$…

We consider a variant of the clustering problem for a complete weighted graph. The aim is to partition the nodes into clusters maximizing the sum of the edge weights within the clusters. This problem is known as the clique partitioning…

A clique in an undirected graph G= (V, E) is a subset V' V of vertices, each pair of which is connected by an edge in E. The clique problem is an optimization problem of finding a clique of maximum size in graph. The clique problem is…
