Abstract

We prove that for k ≫; 4√n regular resolution requires length nω(k) to establish that an ErdÅ's-Rényi graph with appropriately chosen edge density does not contain a k-clique. This lower bound is optimal up to the multiplicative constant in the exponent and also implies unconditional nω(k) lower bounds on running time for several state-of-the-art algorithms for finding maximum cliques in graphs.
