Finding cliques using few probes

Abstract

Consider algorithms with unbounded computation time that probe the entries of the adjacency matrix of an n vertex graph, and need to output a clique. We show that if the input graph is drawn at random from (and hence is likely to have a clique of size roughly ), then for every δℓ, there is an αδ and ℓ) such that no algorithm that makes nδ probes in ℓ rounds is likely (over the choice of the random graph) to output a clique of size larger than .
