We study the problem of detecting and recovering a planted spanning tree $M_n^*$ hidden within a complete, randomly weighted graph $G_n$. Specifically, each edge $e$ has a non-negative weight drawn independently from $P_n$ if $e \in M_n^*$…

It is a classic result in spectral theory that the limit distribution of the spectral measure of random graphs G(n, p) converges to the semicircle law in case np tends to infinity with n. The spectral measure for random graphs G(n, c/n)…

The celebrated formula of Otter \emph{[Ann. of Math. (2) 49 (1948), 583--599]} asserts that the complete graph contains exponentially many non-isomorphic spanning trees. In this paper, we show that every connected almost regular graph with…

We study the asymptotic behavior af the number of cuts $X(T_n)$ needed to isolate the root in a rooted binary random tree $T_n$ with $n$ leaves. We focus on the case of subtrees of the Continuum Random Tree generated by uniform sampling of…

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…

This paper extends the study of fringe trees in random plane trees with a given degree statistic. While previous work established the asymptotic normality of the count of fringe trees isomorphic to a fixed tree, we investigate the case…

For a simple (unbiased) random walk on a connected graph with $n$ vertices, the cover time (the expected number of steps it takes to visit all vertices) is at most $O(n^3)$. We consider locally biased random walks, in which the probability…

We introduce a random graph model based on k-trees, which can be generated by applying a probabilistic preferential attachment rule, but which also has a simple combinatorial description. We carry out a precise distributional analysis of…

We study the random graph G_{n,\lambda/n} conditioned on the event that all vertex degrees lie in some given subset S of the non-negative integers. Subject to a certain hypothesis on S, the empirical distribution of the vertex degrees is…

We prove that for any fixed $k$, the probability that a random vertex of a random increasing plane tree is of rank $k$, that is, the probability that a random vertex is at distance $k$ from the leaves, converges to a constant $c_k$ as the…

We study the asymptotics of the $p$-mapping model of random mappings on $[n]$ as $n$ gets large, under a large class of asymptotic regimes for the underlying distribution $p$. We encode these random mappings in random walks which are shown…

$Q_{n,p}$, the random subgraph of the $n$-vertex hypercube $Q_n$, is obtained by independently retaining each edge of $Q_n$ with probability $p$. We give precise values for the cover time of $Q_{n,p}$ above the connectivity threshold.

A collection of graphs is called bridge-alterable if, for each graph G with a bridge e, G is in the class if and only if G-e is. For example the class of forests is bridge-alterable. For a random forest $F_n$ sampled uniformly from the set…

We call a pair of vertex-disjoint, induced subtrees of a rooted trees twins if they have the same counts of vertices by out-degrees. The likely maximum size of twins in a uniformly random, rooted Cayley tree of size $n\to\infty$ is studied.…
