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…

The dynamical organization in the presence of noise of a Boolean neural network with random connections is analyzed. For low levels of noise, the system reaches a stationary state in which the majority of its elements acquire the same…

We introduce the notion of classical fractional query algorithms, which generalize decision trees in the average-case setting, and can potentially perform better than them. We show that the limiting run-time complexity of a natural class of…

We study the two most common types of percolation process on a sparse random graph with a given degree sequence. Namely, we examine first a bond percolation process where the edges of the graph are retained with probability p and afterwards…

The main focus of this article concerns the strongly percolative regime of the vacant set of random interlacements on $ \mathbb{Z}^d$, with $d \ge 3$. We investigate the occurrence in a large box of an excessive fraction of sites that get…

In the bond percolation model on a lattice, we colour vertices with $n_c$ colours independently at random according to Bernoulli distributions. A vertex can receive multiple colours and each of these colours is individually observable. The…

Consider a uniform expanders family G_n with a uniform bound on the degrees. It is shown that for any p and c>0, a random subgraph of G_n obtained by retaining each edge, randomly and independently, with probability p, will have at most one…

The largest components of the critical Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph, $G(n,p)$ with $p=1/n$, have size of order $n^{2/3}$ with high probability. We give detailed asymptotics for the probability that there is an unusually large component, i.e. of…

We consider percolation on high-dimensional product graphs, where the base graphs are regular and of bounded order. In the subcritical regime, we show that typically the largest component is of order logarithmic in the number of vertices.…

We present a numerical study for the threshold percolation probability, $p_c$, in the bond percolation model with multiple ranges, in the square lattice. A recent Theorem demonstrated by de Lima {\it et al.} [B. N. B. de Lima, R. P.…

dentifying associations among biological variables is a major challenge in modern quantitative biological research, particularly given the systemic and statistical noise endemic to biological systems. Drug sensitivity data has proven to be…

It is shown that a two-component percolation model can explain an experimentally observed behavior, namely that a network built up by a mixture of sintered nanocrystalline semiconducting n- and p-grains can exhibit selective behavior, i.e.…

For two causal structures with the same set of visible variables, one is said to observationally dominate the other if the set of distributions over the visible variables realizable by the first contains the set of distributions over the…

In dynamical percolation, the status of every bond is refreshed according to an independent Poisson clock. For graphs which do not percolate at criticality, the dynamical sensitivity of this property was analyzed extensively in the last…

A simple, discrete, parametric model is proposed to describe conditional (correlated) deposition of particles on a surface and formation of a connecting (percolating) cluster. The surface changes spontaneously its properties (phase…

We consider finite Bernoulli convolutions with a parameter $1/2 < r < 1$ supported on a discrete point set, generically of size $2^N$. These sequences are uniformly distributed with respect to the infinite Bernoulli convolution measure…

We show analytically that the $[0,1]$, $[1,1]$ and $[2,1]$ Pad{\'e} approximants of the mean cluster number $S(p)$ for site and bond percolation on general $d$-dimensional lattices are upper bounds on this quantity in any Euclidean…

We consider a multiscale Boolean percolation on $\mathbb R^d$ with radius distribution $\mu$ on $[1,+\infty)$, $d\ge 2$. The model is defined by superposing the original Boolean percolation model with radius distribution $\mu$ with a…

We consider supercritical bond percolation on a family of high-girth $d$-regular expanders. Alon, Benjamini and Stacey (2004) established that its critical probability for the appearance of a linear-sized ("giant'') component is…

This paper studies the minimum observability of probabilistic Boolean networks (PBNs), the main objective of which is to add the fewest measurements to make an unobservable PBN become observable. First of all, the algebraic form of a PBN is…
