Expected number of $k$-cliques in $G(n,1/2)$: $\mu = \binom{n}{k} \cdot 2^{-\binom{k}{2}}$.
Instances For
The largest $k \le n$ for which the expected number $\mu(n,k)$ of $k$-cliques in $G(n,1/2)$ is still at least $1$.
Instances For
Clique number of a finite graph on Fin n: the largest $k \le n$ such that $G$
contains a clique of size $k$.
Instances For
Probability of an event $A$ on graphs sampled from $G(n,1/2)$, computed combinatorially as the fraction of graphs on $\{1,\dots,n\}$ satisfying $A$.
Instances For
The $\Delta$ quantity from Janson's inequality applied to the $k$-clique event in $G(n,1/2)$: a sum over the shared-vertex parameter $s \in [2, k-1]$ that bounds the correlation between pairs of overlapping $k$-cliques.
Instances For
The threshold clique-size $k_0(n)$ is at most $n$, since it is the greatest such value in $\{0, \dots, n\}$.
Dual characterization of cliqueNum: for $0 < m \le n$, the clique number of $G$ is
strictly less than $m$ iff $G$ contains no $m$-clique.
Parametric form of Janson's inequality applied to the $k$-clique event: for each
$q \in [0,1]$,
$\Pr_{G(n,1/2)}(G \text{ is } K_k\text{-free}) \le \exp(-q\mu + q^2 \Delta / 2)$,
with $\mu = $ muClique n k and $\Delta = $ deltaClique n k.
Optimized Janson bound for the $k$-clique event, obtained by minimizing the parametric bound over $q$: $\Pr(G \text{ is } K_k\text{-free}) \le \exp(-\mu^2 / (2\Delta))$.
Asymptotic upper bound on $\Delta$ relative to $\mu^2$: for any $\varepsilon > 0$, eventually $\Delta(n, k_0(n) - 3) \le \mu(n, k_0(n) - 3)^2 \cdot n^{-2 + \varepsilon}$.
Eventually the dominant $s = 2$ term of $\Delta / \mu$ is at least $1$: $\binom{k}{2}\binom{n-k}{k-2} \cdot 2^{1 - \binom{k}{2}} \ge 1$ at $k = k_0(n) - 3$.
Eventually $k_0(n) \ge 6$: the threshold clique size grows without bound, in particular it surpasses every fixed constant.
Eventually $\Delta \ge \mu$ at the shifted threshold, since the $s = 2$ summand of $\Delta$ alone dominates $\mu$.
Asymptotic lower bound $n^{2-\varepsilon} \le \mu^2 / (2\Delta)$ at the shifted threshold, which is the exponent appearing inside Janson's inequality.
Sub-Gaussian decay of the $K_{k_0 - 3}$-free probability: for every $\varepsilon > 0$, $\Pr(G(n,1/2) \text{ is } K_{k_0(n)-3}\text{-free}) \le \exp(-n^{2-\varepsilon})$.
Theorem 8.3.2 (Bollobás 1988), one direction: with very high probability the clique number of $G(n,1/2)$ is at least $k_0(n) - 3$, the threshold value. The complementary probability is at most $\exp(-n^{2-\varepsilon})$.
