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…

We consider a variant of the planted clique problem where we are allowed unbounded computational time but can only investigate a small part of the graph by adaptive edge queries. We determine (up to logarithmic factors) the number of…

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…

In various application areas, networked data is collected by measuring interactions involving some specific set of core nodes. This results in a network dataset containing the core nodes along with a potentially much larger set of fringe…

We consider the problem of identifying the densest k-node subgraph in a given graph. We write this problem as an instance of rank-constrained cardinality minimization and then relax using the nuclear and 11 norms. Although the original…

We study a planted clique model introduced by Feige where a complete graph of size $c\cdot n$ is planted uniformly at random in an arbitrary $n$-vertex graph. We give a simple deterministic algorithm that, in almost linear time, recovers a…

We study the planted clique problem in which a clique of size k is planted in an Erdos-Renyi graph G(n,1/2) and one is interested in recovering this planted clique. It is widely believed that it exhibits a statistical-computational gap when…

We note the significance of hypergraphic planted clique (HPC) detection in the investigation of computational hardness for a range of tensor problems. We ask if more evidence for the computational hardness of HPC detection can be developed.…

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,…

In the well known planted clique problem, a clique (or alternatively, an independent set) of size $k$ is planted at random in an Erdos-Renyi random $G(n, p)$ graph, and the goal is to design an algorithm that finds the maximum clique (or…
