The preferential attachment (PA) model is a popular way of modeling dynamic social networks, such as collaboration networks. Assuming that the PA function takes a parametric form, we propose and study the maximum likelihood estimator of the…

We investigate a class of growing graphs embedded into the $d$-dimensional torus where new vertices arrive according to a Poisson process in time, are randomly placed in space and connect to existing vertices with a probability depending on…

This article reviews and evaluates models of network evolution based on the notion of structural diversity. We show that diversity is an underlying theme of three principles of network evolution: the preferential attachment model,…

In this paper we investigate networks whose evolution is governed by the interaction of a random assembly process and an optimization process. In the first process, new nodes are added one at a time and form connections to randomly selected…

Scale-free networks with small power law exponent are known to be robust, meaning that their qualitative topological structure cannot be altered by random removal of even a large proportion of nodes. By contrast, it has been argued in the…

Since network motifs are an important property of networks and some networks have the behaviors of rewiring or reducing or adding edges between old vertices before new vertices entering the networks, we construct our non-randomized model…

Current methods for estimating the required neural-network size for a given problem class have focused on methods that can be computationally intensive, such as neural-architecture search and pruning. In contrast, methods that add capacity…

We introduce a two-dimensional growth model where every new site is located, at a distance $r$ from the barycenter of the pre-existing graph, according to the probability law $1/r^{2+\alpha_G} (\alpha_G \ge 0)$, and is attached to (only)…

In this note we make some specific observations on the distribution of the degree of a given vertex in certain model of randomly growing networks. The rule for network growth is the following. Starting with an initial graph of minimum…

In this paper, we aim at establishing an approximation theory and a learning theory of distribution regression via a fully connected neural network (FNN). In contrast to the classical regression methods, the input variables of distribution…

Conventional studies of network growth models mainly look at the steady state degree distribution of the graph. Often long time behavior is considered, hence the initial condition is ignored. In this contribution, the time evolution of the…

Growing network models with preferential attachment dependent on both age and degree are proposed to simulate certain features of citation network noted in \cite{red2}. In this directed network, a new node gets attached to an older node…

We study preferential attachment models where vertices enter the network with i.i.d. random numbers of edges that we call the out-degree. We identify the local limit of such models, substantially extending the work of Berger et al.(2014).…

We consider the problem of sampling from a distribution on graphs, specifically when the distribution is defined by an evolving graph model, and consider the time, space and randomness complexities of such samplers. In the standard…

It is commonly believed that real networks are scale-free and fraction of nodes $P(k)$ with degree $k$ satisfies the power law $P(k) \propto k^{-\gamma} \text{ for } k > k_{min} > 0$. Preferential attachment is the mechanism that has been…
