Two kinds of evolving trees are considered here: the exponential trees, where subsequent nodes are linked to old nodes without any preference, and the Barab\'asi--Albert scale-free networks, where the probability of linking to a node is…
We propose a simple algorithm which produces high dimensional Apollonian networks with both small-world and scale-free characteristics. We derive analytical expressions for the degree distribution, the clustering coefficient and the…
This paper is concerned with a dynamic traffic network performance model, known as dynamic network loading (DNL), that is frequently employed in the modeling and computation of analytical dynamic user equilibrium (DUE). As a key component…
There is a well-known relationship between the binary Pascal's triangle and Sierpinski triangle in which the latter obtained from the former by successive modulo 2 additions on one of its corners. Inspired by that, we define a binary…
How long a monotone path can one always find in any edge-ordering of the complete graph $K_n$? This appealing question was first asked by Chv\'atal and Koml\'os in 1971, and has since attracted the attention of many researchers, inspiring a…
We consider the model of random trees introduced by Devroye [SIAM J. Comput. 28 (1999) 409-432]. The model encompasses many important randomized algorithms and data structures. The pieces of data (items) are stored in a randomized fashion…
Given two locations $s$ and $t$ in a road network, a distance query returns the minimum network distance from $s$ to $t$, while a shortest path query computes the actual route that achieves the minimum distance. These two types of queries…
Attach to each edge of the complete graph on $n$ vertices, i.i.d. exponential random variables with mean $n$. Aldous [1] proved that the longest path with average weight below $p$ undergoes a phase transition at $p=\frac{1}{e}$: it is…
In this letter, we propose a simple rule that generates scale-free networks with very large clustering coefficient and very small average distance. These networks are called {\bf Random Apollonian Networks}(RANs) as they can be considered…
We explore a new variant of Small-World Networks (SWNs), in which an additional parameter ($r$) sets the length scale over which shortcuts are uniformly distributed. When $r=0$ we have an ordered network, whereas $r=1$ corresponds to the…
We revisit several maximization problems for geometric networks design under the non-crossing constraint, first studied by Alon, Rajagopalan and Suri (ACM Symposium on Computational Geometry, 1993). Given a set of $n$ points in the plane in…
The regularization path of the Lasso can be shown to be piecewise linear, making it possible to "follow" and explicitly compute the entire path. We analyze in this paper this popular strategy, and prove that its worst case complexity is…
In the longest plane spanning tree problem, we are given a finite planar point set $\mathcal{P}$, and our task is to find a plane (i.e., noncrossing) spanning tree for $\mathcal{P}$ with maximum total Euclidean edge length. Despite more…
How many operations do we need on the average to compute an approximate root of a random Gaussian polynomial system? Beyond Smale's 17th problem that asked whether a polynomial bound is possible, we prove a quasi-optimal bound $\text{(input…
While finding a path between two nodes is the basis for several applications, the need for alternative paths also may have various motivations. For instance, this can be of interest for ensuring reliability in a telecommunications network,…
Spatially constrained planar networks are frequently encountered in real-life systems. In this paper, based on a space-filling disk packing we propose a minimal model for spatial maximal planar networks, which is similar to but different…
To solve a linear program, the simplex method follows a path in the graph of a polytope, on which a linear function increases. The length of this path is an key measure of the complexity of the simplex method. Numerous previous articles…
In this paper we study the uniqueness of expanding self-similar solutions to the network flow in a fixed topological class. We prove the result via the parabolic Allen-Cahn approximation proved in \cite{triodginz}. Moreover, we prove that…
Among all characteristics exhibited by natural and man-made networks the small-world phenomenon is surely the most relevant and popular. But despite its significance, a reliable and comparable quantification of the question `how small is a…
It is proven that the connected pathwidth of any graph $G$ is at most $2\cdot\pw(G)+1$, where $\pw(G)$ is the pathwidth of $G$. The method is constructive, i.e. it yields an efficient algorithm that for a given path decomposition of width…
