We study a random system of cn linear equations over n variables in GF(2), where each equation contains exactly r variables; this is equivalent to r-XORSAT. Previous work has established a clustering threshold, c^*_r for this model: if…
The XOR-satisfiability (XORSAT) problem requires finding an assignment of $n$ Boolean variables that satisfy $m$ exclusive OR (XOR) clauses, whereby each clause constrains a subset of the variables. We consider random XORSAT instances,…

The random $k$-XORSAT problem is a random constraint satisfaction problem of $n$ Boolean variables and $m=rn$ clauses, which a random instance can be expressed as a $G\mathbb{F}(2)$ linear system of the form $Ax=b$, where $A$ is a random $m…
The XOR-satisfiability (XORSAT) problem deals with a system of $n$ Boolean variables and $m$ clauses. Each clause is a linear Boolean equation (XOR) of a subset of the variables. A $K$-clause is a clause involving $K$ distinct variables. In…
Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems exhibit several phase transitions when their density of constraints is varied. One of these threshold phenomena, known as the clustering or dynamic transition, corresponds to a transition for an…

An important problem in modeling networks is how to generate a randomly sampled graph with given degrees. A popular model is the configuration model, a network with assigned degrees and random connections. The erased configuration model is…
Let $A$ be a random $m\times n$ matrix over the finite field $F_q$ with precisely $k$ non-zero entries per row and let $y\in F_q^m$ be a random vector chosen independently of $A$. We identify the threshold $m/n$ up to which the linear…

In this paper we consider the clustering coefficient and clustering function in a random graph model proposed by Krioukov et al.~in 2010. In this model, nodes are chosen randomly inside a disk in the hyperbolic plane and two nodes are…
Correlation Clustering (CC) is a fundamental unsupervised learning primitive whose strongest LP-based approximation guarantees require $\Theta(n^3)$ triangle inequality constraints and are prohibitive at scale. We initiate the study of…
We investigate the presence of triangles in a class of correlated random graphs in which hidden variables determine the pairwise connections between vertices. The class rules out self-loops and multiple edges and allows for negative degree…
Let $X,X_1,X_2,\ldots$ be i.i.d. mean zero random vectors with values in a separable Banach space $B$, $S_n=X_1+\cdots+X_n$ for $n\ge1$, and assume $\{c_n:n\ge1\}$ is a suitably regular sequence of constants. Furthermore, let…

Random instances of Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP's) appear to be hard for all known algorithms, when the number of constraints per variable lies in a certain interval. Contributing to the general understanding of the structure of…
The random XORSAT problem deals with large random linear systems of Boolean variables. The difficulty of such problems is controlled by the ratio of number of equations to number of variables. It is known that in some range of values of…
We consider random systems of linear equations over GF(2) in which every equation binds k variables. We obtain a precise description of the clustering of solutions in such systems. In particular, we prove that with probability that tends to…
Our model is a generalized linear programming relaxation of a much studied random K-SAT problem. Specifically, a set of linear constraints C on K variables is fixed. From a pool of n variables, K variables are chosen uniformly at random and…
