Branching processes are used to model diverse social and physical scenarios, from extinction of family names to nuclear fission. However, for a better description of natural phenomena, such as viral epidemics in cellular tissues, animal…

The microbiome constitutes a complex microbial ecology of interacting components that regulates important pathways in the host. Measurements of microbial abundances are key to learning the intricate network of interactions amongst microbes.…

A bootstrap percolation process on a graph $G$ is an "infection" process which evolves in rounds. Initially, there is a subset of infected nodes and in each subsequent round each uninfected node which has at least $r$ infected neighbours…

We study eigenvalue distribution of the adjacency matrix $A^{(N,p, \alpha)}$ of weighted random bipartite graphs $\Gamma= \Gamma_{N,p}$. We assume that the graphs have $N$ vertices, the ratio of parts is $\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha}$ and the…

We study the mixing time of random graphs in the $d$-dimensional toric unit cube $[0,1]^d$ generated by the geographical threshold graph (GTG) model, a generalization of random geometric graphs (RGG). In a GTG, nodes are distributed in a…
