The k-core of a graph G is the maximal subgraph of G having minimum degree at least k. In 1996, Pittel, Spencer and Wormald found the threshold $\lambda_c$ for the emergence of a non-trivial k-core in the random graph $G(n,\lambda/n)$, and…
We study the k-core of a random (multi)graph on n vertices with a given degree sequence. We let n tend to infinity. Then, under some regularity conditions on the degree sequences, we give conditions on the asymptotic shape of the degree…
Very sparse random graphs are known to typically be singular (i.e., have singular adjacency matrix), due to the presence of "low-degree dependencies'' such as isolated vertices and pairs of degree-1 vertices with the same neighbourhood. We…
The k-core of a graph is its maximal subgraph with minimum degree at least k, and the core value of a vertex u is the largest k for which u is contained in the k-core of the graph. Among cohesive subgraphs, k-core and its variants have…
The analysis of several algorithms and data structures can be framed as a peeling process on a random hypergraph: vertices with degree less than k are removed until there are no vertices of degree less than k left. The remaining hypergraph…
Network robustness is a measure a network's ability to survive adversarial attacks. But not all parts of a network are equal. K-cores, which are dense subgraphs, are known to capture some of the key properties of many real-life networks.…
The degree of a vertex in a hypergraph is defined as the number of edges incident to it. In this paper we study the $k$-core, defined as the maximal induced subhypergraph of minimum degree $k$, of the random $r$-uniform hypergraph…
A popular model to measure network stability is the $k$-core, that is the maximal induced subgraph in which every vertex has degree at least $k$. For example, $k$-cores are commonly used to model the unraveling phenomena in social networks.…
K-cores are maximal induced subgraphs where all vertices have degree at least k. These dense patterns have applications in community detection, network visualization and protein function prediction. However, k-cores can be quite unstable to…
We study the random graph obtained by random deletion of vertices or edges from a random graph with given vertex degrees. A simple trick of exploding vertices instead of deleting them, enables us to derive results from known results for…
A popular model to measure the stability of a network is k-core - the maximal induced subgraph in which every vertex has at least k neighbors. Many studies maximize the number of vertices in k-core to improve the stability of a network. In…
Random intersection graphs have received much attention recently and been used in a wide range of applications ranging from key predistribution in wireless sensor networks to modeling social networks. For these graphs, each node is equipped…
Let $\{G_M\}_{M\geq 0}$ be the random graph process, where $G_0$ is the empty graph on $n$ vertices and subsequent graphs in the sequence are obtained by adding a new edge uniformly at random. For each $\varepsilon>0$, we show that, almost…
Let $(G_t)_{t \geq 0}$ be the random graph process ($G_0$ is edgeless and $G_t$ is obtained by adding a uniformly distributed new edge to $G_{t-1}$), and let $\tau_k$ denote the minimum time $t$ such that the $k$-core of $G_t$ (its unique…
Given an integer k, we consider the parallel k-stripping process applied to a hypergraph H: removing all vertices with degree less than k in each iteration until reaching the k-core of H. Take H as H_r(n,m): a random r-uniform hypergraph on…

We analytically describe the architecture of randomly damaged uncorrelated networks as a set of successively enclosed substructures -- k-cores. The k-core is the largest subgraph where vertices have at least k interconnections. We find the…
The $k$-core of a graph is its largest subgraph with minimum degree at least $k$, a fundamental concept for uncovering hierarchical structures. In this paper, we establish a connection between the $k$-core and the high-order spectra of…
Let $d,n\in \mathbb{N}$ be such that $d=\omega(1)$, and $d\le n^{1-a}$ for some constant $a>0$. Consider a $d$-regular graph $G=(V, E)$ and the random graph process that starts with the empty graph $G(0)$ and at each step $G(i)$ is obtained…
The concept of k-core in complex networks plays a key role in many applications, e.g., understanding the global structure, or identifying central/critical nodes, of a network. A malicious attacker with jamming ability can exploit the…
