We discuss a new algorithmic type of problem in random graphs studying the minimum number of queries one has to ask about adjacency between pairs of vertices of a random graph $G\sim {\mathcal G}(n,p)$ in order to find a subgraph which…

We study thresholds for the appearance of a 2-core in random hypergraphs that are a mixture of a constant number of random uniform hypergraphs each with a linear number of edges but with different edge sizes. For the case of two overlapping…

We revisit the problem of the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate for multi-class logistic regression. We show that one method of ensuring its existence is by assigning positive probability to every class in the sample dataset. The…

Chance-constrained problems involve stochastic components in the constraints which can be violated with a small probability. We investigate the impact of different types of chance constraints on the performance of iterative search…

We provide a relatively simple proof that the expected gap between the maximum load and the average load in the two choice process is bounded by $(1+o(1))\log \log n$, irrespective of the number of balls thrown. The theorem was first proven…

Let $P(n,m)$ be a graph chosen uniformly at random from the class of all planar graphs on vertex set $\left\{1, \ldots, n\right\}$ with $m=m(n)$ edges. We show that in the sparse regime, when $\limsup_{n \to \infty} m/n<1$, with high…

A $k$-uniform hypergraph is $s$-almost intersecting if every edge is disjoint from exactly $s$ other edges. Gerbner, Lemons, Palmer, Patk\'os and Sz\'ecsi conjectured that for every $k$, and $s>s_0(k)$, every $k$-uniform $s$-almost…

We consider the problem of decomposing the edges of a directed graph into as few paths as possible. There is a natural lower bound for the number of paths needed in an edge decomposition of a directed graph $D$ in terms of its degree…

This research establishes that many real-world networks exhibit bounded expansion, a strong notion of structural sparsity, and demonstrates that it can be leveraged to design efficient algorithms for network analysis. We analyze several…

The maximum likelihood threshold of a graph is the smallest number of data points that guarantees that maximum likelihood estimates exist almost surely in the Gaussian graphical model associated to the graph. We show that this graph…

In the sufficiently sparse case, we find the probability that a uniformly random bipartite graph with given degree sequence contains no edge from a specified set of edges. This enables us to enumerate loop-free digraphs and oriented graphs…

We examine the problem of maximizing the reachability of a given source in temporal graphs that are given as the union of k temporal paths, i.e., every given path is a sequence of edges with strictly increasing labels that denote…

We investigate extremal problems for hypergraphs satisfying the following density condition. A $3$-uniform hypergraph $H=(V, E)$ is $(d, \eta,P_2)$-dense if for any two subsets of pairs $P$, $Q\subseteq V\times V$ the number of pairs…

Let $r \ge 2$ be a fixed constant and let $ {\mathcal H}$ be an $r$-uniform, $D$-regular hypergraph on $N$ vertices. Assume further that $ D \to \infty$ as $N \to \infty$ and that degrees of pairs of vertices in ${\mathcal H}$ are at most…

Let $L$ be a set of $n$ lines in the plane, not necessarily in general position. We present an efficient algorithm for finding all the vertices of the arrangement $A(L)$ of maximum level, where the level of a vertex $v$ is the number of…

A graph is $d$-orientable if its edges can be oriented so that the maximum in-degree of the resulting digraph is at most $d$. $d$-orientability is a well-studied concept with close connections to fundamental graph-theoretic notions and…

This paper rigorously establishes that the existence of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) in high-dimensional logistic regression models with Gaussian covariates undergoes a sharp `phase transition'. We introduce an explicit boundary…

Given a graph, does there exist an orientation of the edges such that the resulting directed graph is strongly connected? Robbins' theorem [Robbins, Am. Math. Monthly, 1939] states that such an orientation exists if and only if the graph is…
