Abstract: In this work we study the time complexity for the search of local minima in random graphs whose vertices have i.i.d. cost values. We show that, for Erd"os-R'enyi graphs with connection probability given by $lambda/n^{a}lpha$ (with $lambda>0$ and $0<alpha<1$), a family of local algorithms that approximate a gradient descent find local minima faster than the full gradient descent. Furthermore, we find a probabilistic representation for the running time of these algorithms leading to asymptotic estimates of the mean running times.
