In this note we discuss vacant set level set percolation on a transient weighted graph. It interpolates between the percolation of the vacant set of random interlacements and the level set percolation of the Gaussian free field. We employ…

We prove several facts concerning Lipschitz percolation, including the following. The critical probability p_L for the existence of an open Lipschitz surface in site percolation on Z^d with d\ge 2 satisfies the improved bound p_L \le…

We prove the existence of a (random) Lipschitz function $F : \Z^{d-1}\to\Z^+$ such that, for every $x \in \Z^{d-1}$, the site $(x,F(x))$ is open in a site percolation process on $\Z^{d}$. The Lipschitz constant may be taken to be 1 when the…

Does there exist a Lipschitz injection of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ into the open set of a site percolation process on $\mathbb{Z}^D$, if the percolation parameter p is sufficiently close to 1? We prove a negative answer when d=D and also when…

Consider the graph induced by $\mathbb{Z}^d$, equipped with uniformly elliptic random conductances. At time $0$, place a Poisson point process of particles on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ and let them perform independent simple random walks. Tessellate…

For any graph G = (V, E) and proportion $p\in(0,1]$, a set $S\subseteq V$ is a p-dominating set if $\frac{|N[S]|}{|V|}\geq p$. The $p$-domination number $\gamma_{p}(G)$ equals the minimum cardinality of a $p$-dominating set in G. For a…

Consider some matrix waiting for its coefficients to be written. For each column, sample independently a Bernoulli random variable of some parameter $p$. Seeing all this and possibly using extra randomness, Alice then chooses one spot in…

Bootstrap percolation on a graph is a deterministic process that iteratively enlarges a set of occupied sites by adjoining points with at least $\theta$ occupied neighbors. The initially occupied set is random, given by a uniform product…

The existence (or not) of infinite clusters is explored for two stochastic models of intersecting line segments in $d \ge 2$ dimensions. Salient features of the phase diagram are established in each case. The models are based on site…

A competition model on $\mathbb{Z}_+^{2}$ governed by directed last passage percolation is considered. A stochastic domination argument between subtrees of the last passage percolation is put forward.

Priebe et al. (2001) introduced the class cover catch digraphs and computed the distribution of the domination number of such digraphs for one dimensional data. In higher dimensions these calculations are extremely difficult due to the…

We investigate stochastic interpolation, a recently introduced framework for high dimensional sampling which bears many similarities to diffusion modeling. Stochastic interpolation generates a data sample by first randomly initializing a…

We consider vertex percolation on pseudo-random $d-$regular graphs. The previous study by the second author established the existence of phase transition from small components to a linear (in $\frac{n}{d}$) sized component, at…

We provide sufficient conditions for a regular graph $G$ of growing degree $d$, guaranteeing a phase transition in its random subgraph $G_p$ similar to that of $G(n,p)$ when $p\cdot d\approx 1$. These conditions capture several well-studied…

We consider the standard model of i.i.d. first passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ given a distribution $G$ on $[0,+\infty]$ ($+\infty$ is allowed). When $G([0,+\infty]) < p_c(d)$, it is known that the time constant $\mu_G$ exists. We are…

A set S of vertices in a graph G is a dominating set of G if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S . The domination number of G, denoted by $\gamma$(G), is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in G. In a breakthrough…

Let $d\ge 3$ be a fixed integer. Let $y:= y(p)$ be the probability that the root of an infinite $d$-regular tree belongs to an infinite cluster after $p$-bond-percolation. We show that for every constants $b,\alpha>0$ and $1<\lambda< d-1$,…

We study a random graph model which is a superposition of the bond percolation model on $Z^d$ with probability $p$ of an edge, and a classical random graph $G(n, c/n)$. We show that this model, being a {\it homogeneous} random graph, has a…

Counting dominating sets in a graph $G$ is closely related to the neighborhood complex of $G$. We exploit this relation to prove that the number of dominating sets $d(G)$ of a graph is determined by the number of complete bipartite…

Understanding what types of phenomena lead to discontinuous phase transitions in the connectivity of random networks is an outstanding challenge. Here we show that a simple stochastic model of graph evolution leads to a discontinuous…
