This work will appear as a chapter in a forthcoming volume titled "Topics in Probabilistic Graph Theory". A theory of scaling limits for random graphs has been developed in recent years. This theory gives access to the large-scale geometric…
We consider exploration algorithms of the random sequential adsorption type both for homogeneous random graphs and random geometric graphs based on spatial Poisson processes. At each step, a vertex of the graph becomes active and its…
Bootstrap percolation on a graph 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 measure, and we say that spanning…
Random systems of curves exhibiting fluctuating features on arbitrarily small scales ($\delta$) are often encountered in critical models. For such systems it is shown that scale-invariant bounds on the probabilities of crossing events imply…
We study the following preferential attachment variant of the classical Erdos-Renyi random graph process. Starting with an empty graph on n vertices, new edges are added one-by-one, and each time an edge is chosen with probability roughly…
We introduce and study a novel semi-random multigraph process, described as follows. The process starts with an empty graph on $n$ vertices. In every round of the process, one vertex $v$ of the graph is picked uniformly at random and…
Accessibility percolation is a new type of percolation problem inspired by evolutionary biology. To each vertex of a graph a random number is assigned and a path through the graph is called accessible if all numbers along the path are in…
Consider the balanced Ramsey game, in which a player has r colors and where in each step r random edges of an initially empty graph on n vertices are presented. The player has to immediately assign a different color to each edge and her…
Preferential attachment graphs are random graphs designed to mimic properties of typical real world networks. They are constructed by a random process that iteratively adds vertices and attaches them preferentially to vertices that already…
An \emph{evolving Shelah-Spencer process} is one by which a random graph grows, with at each time $\tau \in {\bf N}$ a new node incorporated and attached to each previous node with probability $\tau^{-\alpha}$, where $\alpha \in (0,1)…
We generalize the random graph evolution process of Bohman, Frieze, and Wormald [T. Bohman, A. Frieze, and N. C. Wormald, Random Struct. Algorithms, 25, 432 (2004)]. Potential edges, sampled uniformly at random from the complete graph, are…
We present a detailed study of the evolution of the giant component of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph process as the mean degree increases from 1 to infinity. It leads to the identification of the limiting process of the rescaled fluctuations…
We describe a probabilistic methodology, based on random walk estimates, to obtain exponential upper bounds for the probability of observing unusually small maximal components in two classical (near-)critical random graph models. More…
A wide array of random graph models have been postulated to understand properties of observed networks. Typically these models have a parameter $t$ and a critical time $t_c$ when a giant component emerges. It is conjectured that for a large…
We study the site percolation under Achlioptas process (AP) with a product rule in a $2-dimensional$ (2D) square lattice. From the measurement of the cluster size distribution, $P_s$, we find that $P_s$ has a very robust power-law regime…
In the classical Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph G(n,p) there are n vertices and each of the possible edges is independently present with probability p. The random graph G(n,p) is homogeneous in the sense that all vertices have the same…
Distributed consensus computation over random graph processes is considered. The random graph process is defined as a sequence of random variables which take values from the set of all possible digraphs over the node set. At each time step,…
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 present results on the concentration properties of the spectral norm $\|A_p\|$ of the adjacency matrix $A_p$ of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$. First we consider the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph process and prove that…
The Achlioptas process, which suppresses the aggregation of large-sized clusters, can exhibit an explosive percolation (EP) where the order parameter emerges abruptly yet continuously in the thermodynamic limit. It is known that EP is…
