Abstract

Motivated by its relation to the length of cutting plane proofs for the Maximum Biclique problem, we consider the following communication game on a given graph G with maximum bipartite clique size K. Two parties separately receive disjoint subsets A, B   of vertices such that |A|+|B|>K|A|+|B|>K. The goal is to identify a nonedge between A and B  . We prove that O(logn) bits of communication are enough for any n-vertex graph.

► The find-a-nonedge game for individual graphs is considered. ► The game is related to the cutting plane complexity of Maximum Biclique problem. ► A surprising upper bound on its communication complexity is proved.
