A simple and accurate relationship is demonstrated that links the average shortest path, nodes, and edges in a complex network. This relationship takes advantage of the concept of link density and shows a large improvement in fitting…
Consider a network of agents that all want to guess the correct value of some ground truth state. In a sequential order, each agent makes its decision using a single private signal which has a constant probability of error, as well as…
Paths are important structural elements in complex networks because they are finite (unlike walks), related to effective node coverage (minimum spanning trees), and can be understood as being dual to star connectivity. This article…
Real-world road networks have an approximate scale-invariance property; can one devise mathematical models of random networks whose distributions are {\em exactly} invariant under Euclidean scaling? This requires working in the continuum…
Graded posets frequently arise throughout combinatorics, where it is natural to try to count the number of elements of a fixed rank. These counting problems are often $\#\textbf{P}$-complete, so we consider approximation algorithms for…
We consider a scenario of broadcasting information over a network of nodes connected by noiseless communication links. A source node in the network has some data packets to broadcast. It encodes these data packets into $n$ coded packets in…
A sample of n generic points in the xy-plane defines a permutation that relates their ranks along the two axes. Every subset of k points similarly defines a pattern, which occurs in that permutation. The number of occurrences of small…
The ordinal patterns of a fixed number of consecutive values in a time series is the spatial ordering of these values. Counting how often a specific ordinal pattern occurs in a time series provides important insights into the properties of…
We review mathematically tractable models for connected networks on random points in the plane, emphasizing the class of proximity graphs which deserves to be better known to applied probabilists and statisticians. We introduce and motivate…
In this paper it is shown that for any network there is a uniquely determined network based on a structure tree that provides a convenient way of determining a minimal cut separating a pair $s, t$ where each of $s, t$ is either a vertex or…
The random ordered graph is the up to isomorphism unique countable homogeneous linearly ordered graph that embeds all finite linearly ordered graphs. We determine the reducts of the random ordered graph up to first-order interdefinability.
The use of complex networks as a modern approach to understanding the world and its dynamics is well-established in literature. The adjacency matrix, which provides a one-to-one representation of a complex network, can also yield several…
We introduce a class of random graphs that we argue meets many of the desiderata one would demand of a model to serve as the foundation for a statistical analysis of real-world networks. The class of random graphs is defined by a…
New bounds on the number of similar or directly similar copies of a pattern within a finite subset of the line or the plane are proved. The number of equilateral triangles whose vertices all lie within an $n$-point subset of the plane is…
Motivated by concerns about diversity in social networks, we consider the following pattern formation problems in rings. Assume $n$ mobile agents are located at the nodes of an $n$-node ring network. Each agent is assigned a colour from the…
A {\it superpattern} is a string of characters of length $n$ that contains as a subsequence, and in a sense that depends on the context, all the smaller strings of length $k$ in a certain class. We prove structural and probabilistic results…
In a uniform random recursive k-dag, there is a root, 0, and each node in turn, from 1 to n, chooses k uniform random parents from among the nodes of smaller index. If S_n is the shortest path distance from node n to the root, then we…
A popular way to define or characterize graph classes is via forbidden subgraphs or forbidden minors. These characterizations play a key role in graph theory, but they rarely lead to efficient algorithms to recognize these classes. In…
A graph has the unique path property UPP_n if there is a unique path of length n between any ordered pair of nodes. This paper reiterates Royle and MacKay's technique for constructing orderly algorithms. We wish to use this technique to…
Let $\pi_n$ be a uniformly chosen random permutation on $[n]$. Using an analysis of the probability that two overlapping consecutive $k$-permutations are order isomorphic, the authors of a recent paper showed that the expected number of…
