In a previous work, the first and third authors studied a random knot model for all two-bridge knots using billiard table diagrams. Here we present a closed formula for the distribution of the crossing numbers of such random knots. We also…
We consider a variant of so called power-law random graph. A sequence of expected degrees corresponds to a power-law degree distribution with finite mean and infinite variance. In previous works the asymptotic picture with number of nodes…
Suppose that the edges of a complete graph are assigned weights independently at random and we ask for the weight of the minimal-weight spanning tree, or perfect matching, or Hamiltonian cycle. For these and several other common…
We get central limit type theorems for the total number of edges in the generalized random graphs with random vertex weights under different moment conditions on distributions of the weights.
We study the large-deviation properties of minimum spanning trees for two ensembles of random graphs with $N$ nodes. First, we consider complete graphs. Second, we study Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi (ER) random graphs with edge probability $p=c/N$…
The numbers game is a one-player game played on a finite simple graph with certain "amplitudes" assigned to its edges and with an initial assignment of real numbers to its nodes. The moves of the game successively transform the numbers at…
The theory of dependency graphs is a powerful toolbox to prove asymptotic normality of sums of random variables. In this article, we introduce a more general notion of weighted dependency graphs and give normality criteria in this context.…
We prove an extension of the Regularity Lemma with vertex and edge weights which can be applied for a large class of graphs. The applications involve random graphs and a weighted version of the Erd\H{o}s-Stone theorem. We also provide means…
The purpose of this paper is to assess the statistical characterization of weighted networks in terms of the generalization of the relevant parameters, namely average path length, degree distribution and clustering coefficient. Although the…
We define the crossing number for an embedding of a graph G into R^3, and prove a lower bound on it which almost implies the classical crossing lemma. We also give sharp bounds on the space crossing numbers of pseudo-random graphs.
Let $X_1$, $X_2$, $...$ be a sequence of independently and identically distributed random variables with $\mathsf{E}X_1=0$, and let $S_0=0$ and $S_t=S_{t-1}+X_t$, $t=1,2,...$, be a random walk. Denote $\tau={cases}\inf\{t>1: S_t\leq0\},…
For any edge weight distribution, we consider the uniform spanning tree (UST) on finite graphs with i.i.d. random edge weights. We show that, for bounded degree expander graphs and finite boxes of ${\mathbb Z}^d$, the diameter of the UST is…
We estimate the likely values of the chromatic and independence numbers of the random $r$-uniform $d$-regular hypergraph on $n$ vertices for fixed $r$, large fixed $d$, and $n \rightarrow \infty$.
The crossing number of a graph $G$, $\mathrm{cr}(G)$, is the minimum number of edge crossings arising when drawing a graph on a certain surface. Determining $\mathrm{cr}(G)$ is a problem of great importance in Graph Theory. Its maximum…
We introduce the wild number of an edge-colored graph as a measure of how close an edge-colored graph is to having a spanning tree in every color. This combinatorial concept originates in the algebraic theory of generalized graph splines.…
The crossing number is the smallest number of pairwise edge-crossings when drawing a graph into the plane. There are only very few graph classes for which the exact crossing number is known or for which there at least exist constant…
Random intersection graphs have received much interest and been used in diverse applications. They are naturally induced in modeling secure sensor networks under random key predistribution schemes, as well as in modeling the topologies of…
We analyze the correlation between randomly chosen edge weights on neighboring edges in a directed graph. This shared-endpoint correlation controls the expected organization of randomly drawn edge flows when the flow on each edge is…
The purpose of this article is to give a preliminary clarification on the relation between crossing number and crossing change. With a main focus on the span of X polynomial, we prove that, as our theorem claims, the crossing number of the…
In a geometric inhomogeneous random graph vertices are given by the points of a Poisson process and are equipped with independent weights following a heavy tailed distribution. Any pair of distinct vertices is independently forming an edge…
