摘要: Resolving a conjecture of Abbe, Bandeira and Hall, the authors have recently shown that semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation maximum likelihood estimator achieves sharp threshold for exactly recovering community structure under binary stochastic block model two equal-sized clusters. Extending proof techniques, in this paper it is SDP relaxations also achieve recovery with fixed number
