We give nearly optimal bounds on the sample complexity of $(\widetilde{\Omega}(\epsilon),\epsilon)$-tolerant testing the $\rho$-independent set property in the dense graph setting. In particular, we give an algorithm that inspects a random…

We introduce a model for a growing random graph based on simultaneous reproduction of the vertices. The model can be thought of as a generalisation of the reproducing graphs of Southwell and Cannings and Bonato et al to allow for a random…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be an undirected graph on $n$ vertices and $\lambda:E\to 2^{\mathbb{N}}$ a mapping that assigns to every edge a non-empty set of integer labels (times). Such a graph is {\em temporally connected} if a path exists with…

Motivated in part by various sequences of graphs growing under random rules (like internet models), convergent sequences of dense graphs and their limits were introduced by Borgs, Chayes, Lov\'asz, S\'os and Vesztergombi and by Lov\'asz and…

In the inhomogeneous random graph model, each vertex $i\in\{1,\ldots,n\}$ is assigned a weight $W_i\sim\text{Unif}(0,1)$, and an edge between any two vertices $i,j$ is present with probability $k(W_i,W_j)/\lambda_n\in[0,1]$, where $k$ is a…

We investigate the structure of large uniform random maps with $n$ edges, $\mathrm{f}_n$ faces, and with genus $\mathrm{g}_n$ in the so-called sparse case, where the ratio between the number vertices and edges tends to $1$. We focus on two…

We present a unified framework to study graph kernels, special cases of which include the random walk graph kernel \citep{GaeFlaWro03,BorOngSchVisetal05}, marginalized graph kernel \citep{KasTsuIno03,KasTsuIno04,MahUedAkuPeretal04}, and…

In this work, we study some statistical properties of the extreme eigenstates of the randomly-weighted adjacency matrices of random graphs. We focus on two random graph models: Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi (ER) graphs and random geometric graphs…

If $\Gamma$ is a graph for which every edge is in exactly one clique of order $\omega$, then one can form a new graph with vertex set equal to these cliques. This is a generalization of the line graph of $\Gamma$. We discover many general…

How can we approximate sparse graphs and sequences of sparse graphs (with unbounded average degree)? We consider convergence in the first $k$ moments of the graph spectrum (equivalent to the numbers of closed $k$-walks) appropriately…

We study the family of network models derived by requiring the expected properties of a graph ensemble to match a given set of measurements of a real-world network, while maximizing the entropy of the ensemble. Models of this type play the…

Starting from a stochastic individual-based description of an SIS epidemic spreading on a random network, we study the dynamics when the size $n$ of the network tends to infinity. We recover in the limit an infinite-dimensional…

Existing approaches to analyzing the asymptotics of graph Laplacians typically assume a well-behaved kernel function with smoothness assumptions. We remove the smoothness assumption and generalize the analysis of graph Laplacians to include…

Extremal properties of sparse graphs, randomly perturbed by the binomial random graph are considered. It is known that every $n$-vertex graph $G$ contains a complete minor of order $\Omega(n/\alpha(G))$. We prove that adding $\xi n$ random…

We consider sparse inhomogeneous Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph ensembles where edges are connected independently with probability $p_{ij}$. We assume that $p_{ij}= \varepsilon_N f(w_i, w_j)$ where $(w_i)_{i\ge 1}$ is a sequence of…
