The number of embeddings of minimally rigid graphs in $\mathbb{R}^D$ is (by definition) finite, modulo rigid transformations, for every generic choice of edge lengths. Even though various approaches have been proposed to compute it, the gap…

Learning properties of large graphs from samples has been an important problem in statistical network analysis since the early work of Goodman \cite{Goodman1949} and Frank \cite{Frank1978}. We revisit a problem formulated by Frank…

The analysis of large simple graphs with extreme values of the densities of edges and triangles has been extended to the statistical structure of typical graphs of fixed intermediate densities, by the use of large deviations of Erdoes-Renyi…

This work studies fundamental limits for recovering the underlying correspondence among multiple correlated graphs. In the setting of inhomogeneous random graphs, we present and analyze a matching algorithm: first partially match the graphs…

The purpose of this article is to develop a general parametric estimation theory that allows the derivation of the limit distribution of estimators in non-regular models where the true parameter value may lie on the boundary of the…

We use the theory of graph limits to study several quasi-random properties, mainly dealing with various versions of hereditary subgraph counts. The main idea is to transfer the properties of (sequences of) graphs to properties of graphons,…

In this paper, we consider the problem of learning an unknown graph via queries on groups of nodes, with the result indicating whether or not at least one edge is present among those nodes. While learning arbitrary graphs with $n$ nodes and…

We propose a novel model for generating graphs similar to a given example graph. Unlike standard approaches that compute features of graphs in Euclidean space, our approach obtains features on a surface of a hypersphere. We then utilize a…

Inference on vertex-aligned graphs is of wide theoretical and practical importance.There are, however, few flexible and tractable statistical models for correlated graphs, and even fewer comprehensive approaches to parametric inference on…

This note attempts to understand graph limits as defined by Lovasz and Szegedy (2006)} in terms of harmonic analysis on semigroups. This is done by representing probability distributions of random exchangeable graphs as mixtures of…

We initiate a study of large deviations for block model random graphs in the dense regime. Following Chatterjee-Varadhan(2011), we establish an LDP for dense block models, viewed as random graphons. As an application of our result, we study…

A matching $M$ in a graph $G$ is $r$-degenerate if the subgraph of $G$ induced by the set of vertices incident with an edge in $M$ is $r$-degenerate. Goddard, Hedetniemi, Hedetniemi, and Laskar (Generalized subgraph-restricted matchings in…

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…
