 Parallel Algorithms for Finding Large Cliques in Sparse Graphs

(In Proceedings of the 33rd ACM Symposium on Parallelism in Algorithms and Architectures (SPAA'21), ACM, Jul. 2021)

Abstract

We present a parallel k-clique listing algorithm with improved work bounds (for the same depth) in sparse graphs with low degeneracy or arboricity. We achieve this by introducing and analyzing a new pruning criterion for a backtracking search. Our algorithm has better asymptotic performance, especially for larger cliques (when k is not constant), where we avoid the straightforwardly exponential runtime growth with respect to the clique size. In particular, for cliques that are a constant factor smaller than the graph's degeneracy, the work improvement is an exponential factor in the clique size compared to previous results. Moreover, we present a low-depth approximation to the community degeneracy (which can be arbitrarily smaller than the degeneracy). This approximation enables a low depth clique listing algorithm whose runtime is parameterized by the community degeneracy.
