We study a model of an i.i.d.~random environment in general dimensions $d\ge 2$, where each site is equipped with one of two environments. The model comes with a parameter $p$ which governs the frequency of the first environment, and for…
We show that the domination number of the binomial random graph G_{n,p} with edge-probability p is concentrated on two values for p \ge n^{-2/3+\eps}, and not concentrated on two values for general p \le n^{-2/3}. This refutes a conjecture…
We consider Bernoulli percolation on transitive graphs of polynomial growth. In the subcritical regime ($p<p_c$), it is well known that the connection probabilities decay exponentially fast. In the present paper, we study the supercritical…
Schramm's Locality Conjecture asserts that the value of the critical percolation parameter $p_c$ of a graph satisfying $p_c<1$ depends only on its local structure. In this note, we prove this conjecture in the particular case of transitive…
We study asymptotic percolation as $N\to \infty$ in an infinite random graph ${\cal G}_N$ embedded in the hierarchical group of order $N$, with connection probabilities depending on an ultrametric distance between vertices. ${\cal G}_N$ is…
A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is \emph{distinguishing} if the sets of neighbors in $S$ for every pair of vertices not in $S$ are distinct. A \emph{locating-dominating set} of $G$ is a dominating distinguishing set. The…
We study the behavior of algebraic connectivity in a weighted graph that is subject to site percolation, random deletion of the vertices. Using a refined concentration inequality for random matrices we show in our main theorem that the…
The square lattice with central forces between nearest neighbors is isostatic with a subextensive number of floppy modes. It can be made rigid by the random addition of next-nearest neighbor bonds. This constitutes a rigidity percolation…
Independent sets in graphs, i.e., subsets of vertices where no two are adjacent, have long been studied, for instance as a model of hard-core gas. The $d$-dimensional hypercube, $\{0,1\}^d$, with the nearest neighbor structure, has been a…
The problem of continuum percolation in dispersions of rods is reformulated in terms of weighted random geometric graphs. Nodes (or sites or vertices) in the graph represent spatial locations occupied by the centers of the rods. The…
Popular network models such as the mixed membership and standard stochastic block model are known to exhibit distinct geometric structure when embedded into $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ using spectral methods. The resulting point cloud concentrates…
We study the growth of two competing infection types on graphs generated by the configuration model with a given degree sequence. Starting from two vertices chosen uniformly at random, the infection types spread via the edges in the graph…
In their seminal paper introducing the theory of random graphs, Erd\H{o}s and R\'{e}nyi considered the evolution of the structure of a random subgraph of $K_n$ as the density increases from $0$ to $1$, identifying two key points in this…
A directed dominating set in a directed graph $D$ is a set $S$ of vertices of $V$ such that every vertex $u \in V(D) \setminus S$ has an adjacent vertex $v$ in $S$ with $v$ directed to $u$. The directed domination number of $D$, denoted by…
Bootstrap percolation on an arbitrary graph has a random initial configuration, where each vertex is occupied with probability p, independently of each other, and a deterministic spreading rule with a fixed parameter k: if a vacant site has…
We study a process termed "agglomerative percolation" (AP) in two dimensions. Instead of adding sites or bonds at random, in AP randomly chosen clusters are linked to all their neighbors. As a result the growth process involves a diverging…
Bootstrap percolation in (random) graphs is a contagion dynamics among a set of vertices with certain threshold levels. The process is started by a set of initially infected vertices, and an initially uninfected vertex with threshold $k$…
This paper examines the asymptotic convergence properties of Lipschitz interpolation methods within the context of bounded stochastic noise. In the first part of the paper, we establish probabilistic consistency guarantees of the classical…
We consider the problems of finding optimal identifying codes, (open) locating-dominating sets and resolving sets (denoted IDENTIFYING CODE, (OPEN) LOCATING-DOMINATING SET and METRIC DIMENSION) of an interval or a permutation graph. In…
A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a subset $D$ of vertices such that every vertex not in $D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$. A dominating set $D$ is paired if the subgraph induced by its vertices has a perfect matching, and…
