(Self reduction) Suppose that A(G, k) is a polynomial time algorithm for CLIQUE. Use A(G, k) as a subroutine to design a polynomial-time algorithm to find a k-clique in G, if it exists.

Step 1
First, we need to define the problem of finding a k-clique in G. A k-clique is a subgraph of G where every pair of vertices is connected by an edge, and the subgraph has exactly k vertices. Show more…

Give an algorithm that determines whether or not a given undirected graph G = (V,E) contains a cycle. Your algorithm should run in O(V) time, independent of |E|.

A triangle in an undirected graph is a 3-clique. Let TRIANGLE = {<G> | G is an undirected graph that has a triangle}. Prove that TRIANGLE is in class P by constructing a deterministic Turing machine that decides TRIANGLE and showing that this Turing machine runs in polynomial time.
