We prove that uniform random triangulations whose genus is proportional to their size $n$ have diameter of order $\log n$ with high probability. We also show that in such triangulations, the distances between most pairs of points differ by…

Given an n-vertex digraph D = (V, A) the Max-k-Ordering problem is to compute a labeling $\ell : V \to [k]$ maximizing the number of forward edges, i.e. edges (u,v) such that $\ell$(u) < $\ell$(v). For different values of k, this reduces to…

We study the mean length $\ell(k)$ of the shortest paths between a vertex of degree $k$ and other vertices in growing networks, where correlations are essential. In a number of deterministic scale-free networks we observe a power-law…

This study introduces an algorithm that generates undirected graphs with three main characteristics of real-world networks: scale-freeness, short distances between nodes (small-world phenomenon), and large clustering coefficients. The main…

We provide an analytic expression for the quantity described in the title. Namely, we perform a preferential attachment growth process to generate a scale-free network. At each stage we add a new node with $m$ new links. Let $k$ denote the…

We develop a new formulation of Stein's method to obtain computable upper bounds on the total variation distance between the geometric distribution and a distribution of interest. Our framework reduces the problem to the construction of a…

Random feature mapping (RFM) is a popular method for speeding up kernel methods at the cost of losing a little accuracy. We study kernel ridge regression with random feature mapping (RFM-KRR) and establish novel out-of-sample error upper…

Preferential attachment networks are a type of random network where new nodes are connected to existing ones at random, and are more likely to connect to those that already have many connections. We investigate further a family of models…

This paper deals with the problem of detecting non-isotropic high-dimensional geometric structure in random graphs. Namely, we study a model of a random geometric graph in which vertices correspond to points generated randomly and…

We consider a connected undirected graph $G(n,m)$ with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges. A $k$-dominating set $D$ in $G$ is a set of nodes having the property that every node in $G$ is at most $k$ edges away from at least one node in $D$. Finding a…

The {\sc Directed Maximum Leaf Out-Branching} problem is to find an out-branching (i.e. a rooted oriented spanning tree) in a given digraph with the maximum number of leaves. In this paper, we improve known parameterized algorithms and…

We prove almost sure convergence of the maximum degree in an evolving tree model combining local choice and preferential attachment. At each step in the growth of the graph, a new vertex is introduced. A fixed, finite number of possible…

We consider the problem of sampling a proper $k$-coloring of a graph of maximal degree $\Delta$ uniformly at random. We describe a new Markov chain for sampling colorings, and show that it mixes rapidly on graphs of bounded treewidth if…

Scale-free networks are quite popular nowadays since many systems are well represented by such structures. In order to study these systems, several models were proposed. However, most of them do not take into account the node-to-node…

When we want to simulate the realization of a symmetric simple random walk on $\mathbb Z^d$, we use $(2d)$-side fair dice to decide to which neighbor it jumps at each step if $d\geq 2$ or we simply use a fair coin when $d=1$. Assume that…

We show how to generate random derangements efficiently by two different techniques: random restricted transpositions and sequential importance sampling. The algorithm employing restricted transpositions can also be used to generate random…

Preferential attachment is one possible way to obtain a scale-free network. We develop a self-consistent method to determine whether preferential attachment occurs during the growth of a network, and to extract the preferential attachment…

We study both numerically and analytically what happens to a random graph of average connectivity "alpha" when its leaves and their neighbors are removed iteratively up to the point when no leaf remains. The remnant is made of isolated…

Despite great effort spent measuring topological features of large networks like the Internet, it was recently argued that sampling based on taking paths through the network (e.g., traceroutes) introduces a fundamental bias in the observed…

A probability distribution over {-1, 1}^n is (eps, k)-wise uniform if, roughly, it is eps-close to the uniform distribution when restricted to any k coordinates. We consider the problem of how far an (eps, k)-wise uniform distribution can…
