Abstract

It is known that, for every constant $kgeq 3$, the presence of a
$k$-clique (a complete subgraph on $k$ vertices) in an $n$-vertex
graph cannot be detected by a monotone boolean circuit using fewer
than $Omega((n/log n)^k)$ gates. We show that, for every constant
$k$, the presence of an $(n-k)$-clique in an $n$-vertex graph can be
detected by a monotone circuit using only $O(n^2log n)$ gates.
Moreover, if we allow unbounded fanin, then $O(log n)$ gates are
enough.
