We consider the complete graph $\cK_n$ on $n$ vertices with exponential mean $n$ edge lengths. Writing $C_{ij}$ for the weight of the smallest-weight path between vertex $i,j\in [n]$, Janson showed that $\max_{i,j\in [n]} C_{ij}/\log{n}$…

We study the random geometry of first passage percolation on the complete graph equipped with independent and identically distributed edge weights, continuing the program initiated by Bhamidi and van der Hofstad [6]. We describe our results…

Many real epidemics of an infectious disease are not straightforwardly super- or sub-critical, and the understanding of epidemic models that exhibit such complexity has been identified as a priority for theoretical work. We provide insights…

Attach to each edge of the complete graph on $n$ vertices, i.i.d. exponential random variables with mean $n$. Aldous [1] proved that the longest path with average weight below $p$ undergoes a phase transition at $p=\frac{1}{e}$: it is…

A network is said to have the properties of a small world if a suitably defined average distance between any two nodes is proportional to the logarithm of the number of nodes, $N$. In this paper, we present a novel derivation of the…

Let $P(n,m)$ be a graph chosen uniformly at random from the class of all planar graphs on vertex set $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ with $m=m(n)$ edges. We study the cycle and block structure of $P(n,m)$ when $m\sim n/2$. More precisely, we determine…

In this paper, we derive the mean-field limit of a collective dynamics model with time-varying weights, for weight dynamics that preserve the total mass of the system as well as indistinguishability of the agents. The limit equation is a…

We revisit Min-Mean-Cycle, the classical problem of finding a cycle in a weighted directed graph with minimum mean weight. Despite an extensive algorithmic literature, previous work falls short of a near-linear runtime in the number of…

The goal of this paper is to analyse the asymptotic behavior of the cycle process and the total number of cycles of weighted and generalized weighted random permutations which are relevant models in physics and which extend the Ewens…

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 consider random permutations on $\Sn$ with logarithmic growing cycles weights and study asymptotic behavior as the length $n$ tends to infinity. We show that the cycle count process converges to a vector of independent Poisson variables…

Recall that Janson showed that if the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ are assigned exponentially distributed independent random weights, then the expected length of a shortest path between a fixed pair of vertices is asymptotically equal…
