We consider random graphs sampled uniformly from a structured class of graphs, such as the class of graphs embeddable in a given surface. We sharpen and extend earlier results on pendant appearances, concerning for example numbers of…

We prove a moderate deviations principles for the size of the largest connected component in a random $d$-uniform hypergraph. The key tool is a version of the exploration process, that is also used to investigate the giant component of an…

The random reversal graph offers new perspectives, allowing to study the connectivity of genomes as well as their most likely distance as a function of the reversal rate. Our main result shows that the structure of the random reversal graph…

In 2007 we introduced a general model of sparse random graphs with independence between the edges. The aim of this paper is to present an extension of this model in which the edges are far from independent, and to prove several results…

We study the $k$-core of a random (multi)graph on $n$ vertices with a given degree sequence. In our previous paper [Random Structures Algorithms 30 (2007) 50--62] we used properties of empirical distributions of independent random variables…

We study the emergence of the giant component in the random cluster model on the complete graph, which was first studied by Bollob\'as, Grimmett, and Janson. We give an alternative analysis using a thermodynamic/large deviations approach…

This is a status report on a companion subject to extremal combinatorics, obtained by replacing extremality properties with emergent structure, `phases'. We discuss phases, and phase transitions, in large graphs and large permutations,…

Two models of a random digraph on $n$ vertices, $D(n,\text{Prob}(\text{arc})=p)$ and $D(n,\text{number of arcs}=m)$ are studied. In 1990, Karp for $D(n,p)$ and independently T. \L uczak for $D(n,m=cn)$ proved that for $c>1$, with…

The d-dimensional Hamming torus is the graph whose vertices are all of the integer points inside an a_1 n X a_2 n X ... X a_d n box in R^d (for constants a_1, ..., a_d > 0), and whose edges connect all vertices within Hamming distance one.…

We study a one parameter family of random graph models that spans a continuum between traditional random graphs of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi type, where there is no underlying structure, and percolation models, where the possible edges are…

The random coloured graph $G_c(n,p)$ is obtained from the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ by assigning to each edge a colour from a set of $c$ colours independently and uniformly at random. It is not hard to see that,…

The weak component generalizes the idea of connected components to directed graphs. In this paper, an exact criterion for existence of the giant weak component is derived for directed graphs with arbitrary bivariate degree distributions. In…

We study the appearance of the giant component in random subgraphs of a given large finite graph G=(V,E) in which each edge is present independently with probability p. We show that if G is an expander with vertices of bounded degree, then…
