In this paper, we prove the first-order convergence law for the uniform attachment random graph with almost all vertices having the same degree. In the considered model, vertices and edges are introduced recursively: at time $m+1$ we start…

Since the paper of Kleinberg and Kleinberg, SODA'05, where it was proven that the preferential attachment random graph with degeneracy at least 3 does not obey the first order 0-1 law, no general methods were developed to study logical…

We extend the convergence law for sparse random graphs proven by Lynch to arbitrary relational languages. We consider a finite relational vocabulary $\sigma$ and a first order theory $T$ for $\sigma$ composed of symmetry and…

Shelah Spencer [ShSp:304] proved the 0-1 law for the random graphs G(n,p_n), p_n=n^{- alpha}, alpha in (0,1) irrational (set of nodes in [n]= {1, ...,n}, the edges are drawn independently, probability of edge is p_n). One may wonder what…

The elimination distance to some target graph property P is a general graph modification parameter introduced by Bulian and Dawar. We initiate the study of elimination distances to graph properties expressible in first-order logic. We…

We study logical limit laws for preferential attachment random graphs. In this random graph model, vertices and edges are introduced recursively: at time $1$, we start with vertices $0,1$ and $m$ edges between them. At step $n+1$ the vertex…

We study property testing of properties that are definable in first-order logic (FO) in the bounded-degree graph and relational structure models. We show that any FO property that is defined by a formula with quantifier prefix…

We extend a result of Lyons (2016) from fractional tiling of finite graphs to a version for infinite random graphs. The most general result is as follows. Let $\bf P$ be a unimodular probability measure on rooted networks $(G, o)$ with…

We study an asymptotic behavior of the probabilities of first-order properties of random graph G(N,p) in the article. We conider p such that lnp=-alnN, a>0. We find values of parameter a from (1-exp(ln2(1-k)),1) such that the random graph…

For every $q\in \mathbb N$ let $\textrm{FO}_q$ denote the class of sentences of first-order logic FO of quantifier rank at most $q$. If a graph property can be defined in $\textrm{FO}_q$, then it can be decided in time $O(n^q)$. Thus,…

It is not hard to write a first order formula which is true for a given graph G but is false for any graph not isomorphic to G. The smallest number $(G) of nested quantifiers in a such formula can serve as a measure for the ``first order…

For integers $l \geq 2$, $d \geq 1$ we study (undirected) graphs with vertices $1, ..., n$ such that the vertices can be partitioned into $l$ parts such that every vertex has at most $d$ neighbours in its own part. The set of all such…

In previous work we defined and studied a notion of typicality, originated with B. Russell, for properties and objects in the context of general infinite first-order structures. In this paper we consider this notion in the context of finite…

Graph neural networks (GNNs) are the de facto standard deep learning architectures for machine learning on graphs. This has led to a large body of work analyzing the capabilities and limitations of these models, particularly pertaining to…

We consider the random graph M^n_{\bar{p}} on the set [n], were the probability of {x,y} being an edge is p_{|x-y|}, and \bar{p}=(p_1,p_2,p_3,...) is a series of probabilities. We consider the set of all \bar{q} derived from \bar{p} by…

We study logical limit laws for uniform attachment random graphs. In this random graph model, vertices and edges are introduced recursively: at time $n+1$, the vertex $n+1$ is introduced together with $m$ edges joining the new vertex with…

A set of binary random variables indexed by a lattice torus is considered. Under a mixing hypothesis, the probability of any proposition belonging to the first order logic of colored graphs tends to 0 or 1, as the size of the lattice tends…

An asymptotic behavior of the probabilities of first-order properties of Erdos-Renyi random graph G(N,p), lnp=-alnN, is studied in the article. We prove the covergence law for formulae with quantifier depth bounded by k when a=1/(k-2).

In this paper, we prove that for every positive $\varepsilon$, there exists an $\alpha\in(1/(k-1),1/(k-1)+\varepsilon)$ such that the binomial random graph $G(n,n^{-\alpha})$ does not obey 0-1 law w.r.t. first order sentences with k…

Let $\alpha\in(0,1)_\mathbb{R}$ be irrational and $G_n = G_{{n, 1/n}^\alpha}$ be the random graph with edge probability $1/n^\alpha$; we know that it satisfies the 0-1 law for first order logic. We deal with the failure of the 0-1 law for…
