Finding cliques in random graphs and the closely related "planted" clique variant, where a clique of size k is planted in a random G(n, 1/2) graph, have been the focus of substantial study in algorithm design. Despite much effort, the best…

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 consider the problem of detecting a planted clique of size $k$ in a random graph on $n$ vertices. When the size of the clique exceeds $\Theta(\sqrt{n})$, polynomial-time algorithms for detection proliferate. We study faster -- namely,…

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…
