The prime number graph is the set of points $(n,p_n)$ where $p_n$ denotes the $n^{\rm th}$ prime. Let $L(n)$ be the minimum number of straight line segments needed to cover the first $n$ points in this set. Let $B(n)$ be the largest number…
Random scale-free networks are ultrasmall worlds. The average length of the shortest paths in networks of size N scales as lnlnN. Here we show that these ultrasmall worlds can be navigated in ultrashort time. Greedy routing on scale-free…
Given a line arrangement $\cal A$ with $n$ lines, we show that there exists a path of length $n^2/3 - O(n)$ in the dual graph of $\cal A$ formed by its faces. This bound is tight up to lower order terms. For the bicolored version, we…
For a fixed integer $\ell$ a path is long if its length is at least $\ell$. We prove that for all integers $k$ and $\ell$ there is a number $f(k,\ell)$ such that for every graph $G$ and vertex sets $A,B$ the graph $G$ either contains $k$…
Navigation process is studied on a variant of the Watts-Strogatz small world network model embedded on a square lattice. With probability $p$, each vertex sends out a long range link, and the probability of the other end of this link…
Randomly sampling an acyclic orientation on the complete bipartite graph $K_{n,k}$ with parts of size $n$ and $k$, we investigate the length of the longest path. We provide a probability generating function for the distribution of the…
We investigate the variance of the length of the longest common subsequences of two independent random words of size $n$, where the letters of one word are i.i.d. uniformly drawn from $\{\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \cdots, \alpha_m\}$, while the…
We show that if $G$ is a $n$-vertex connected chordal graph, then it admits a longest path transversal of size $O(\log^2 n)$. Under the stronger assumption of 2-connectivity, we show $G$ admits a longest cycle transversal of size $O(\log…
Motivated by applications to social network analysis (SNA), we study the problem of finding the maximum number of disjoint uni-color paths in an edge-colored graph. We show the NP-hardness and the approximability of the problem, and both…
Experimentally observed complex networks are often scale-free, small-world and have unexpectedly large number of small cycles. Apollonian network is one notable example of a model network respecting simultaneously having all three of these…
For any pattern $\alpha$ of length at most two, we enumerate equivalence classes of \L{}ukasiewicz paths of length $n\geq 0$ where two paths are equivalent whenever the occurrence positions of $\alpha$ are identical on these paths. As a…
We introduce a new family of networks, the Apollonian networks, that are simultaneously scale-free, small world, Euclidean, space-filling and matching graphs. These networks have a wide range of applications ranging from the description of…
Finding the length of the longest increasing subsequence (LIS) is a classic algorithmic problem. Let $n$ denote the size of the array. Simple $O(n\log n)$ algorithms are known for this problem. We develop a polylogarithmic time randomized…
A polynomial lemniscate is a curve in the complex plane defined by $\{z \in \mathbb{C}:|p(z)|=t\}$. Erd\"os, Herzog, and Piranian posed the extremal problem of determining the maximum length of a lemniscate $\Lambda=\{ z \in…
In this paper, we propose a network whose nodes are labeled by the composite numbers and two nodes are connected by an undirected link if they are relatively prime to each other. As the size of the network increases, the network will be…
We improve Luczak's upper bounds on the length of the longest cycle in the random graph G(n,M) in the "supercritical phase" where M=n/2+s and s=o(n) but n^{2/3}=o(s). The new upper bound is (6.958+o(1))s^2/n with probability 1-o(1) as n…
We propose two types of evolving networks: evolutionary Apollonian networks (EAN) and general deterministic Apollonian networks (GDAN), established by simple iteration algorithms. We investigate the two networks by both simulation and…
This paper studies Random and Evolving Apollonian networks (RANs and EANs), in d dimension for any d>=2, i.e. dynamically evolving random d dimensional simplices looked as graphs inside an initial d-dimensional simplex. We determine the…
Long-distance characteristics of small-world networks have been studied by means of self-avoiding walks (SAW's). We consider networks generated by rewiring links in one- and two-dimensional regular lattices. The number of SAW's $u_n$ was…
We study the statistics of the optimal path in both random and scale free networks, where weights $w$ are taken from a general distribution $P(w)$. We find that different types of disorder lead to the same universal behavior. Specifically,…
