Title
New Bounds for the CLIQUE-GAP Problem Using Graph Decomposition Theory
Abstract
Halldórsson et al (ICALP proceedings of the 39th international colloquium conference on automata, languages, and programming, vol part I, Springer, pp 449–460, ) investigated the space complexity of the following problem CLIQUE-GAP(, ): given a graph stream , distinguish whether or , where is the clique-number of . In particular, they give matching upper and lower bounds for CLIQUE-GAP(, ) for any and , for some constant . The space complexity of the CLIQUE-GAP problem for smaller values of is left as an open question. In this paper, we answer this open question. Specifically, for any and for , we prove that the space complexity of CLIQUE-GAP problem is . Our lower bound is based on a new connection between graph decomposition theory (Chung et al in Studies in pure mathematics, Birkhäuser, Basel, pp 95–101, ; Chung in SIAM J Algebr Discrete Methods 2(1):1–12, ) and the multi-party set disjointness problem in communication complexity.
