This paper concerns discrete-time occupancy processes on a finite graph. Our results can be formulated in two theorems, which are stated for vertex processes, but also applied to edge process (e.g., dynamic random graphs). The first theorem…

The problem of computing the vertex expansion of a graph is an NP-hard problem. The current best worst-case approximation guarantees for computing the vertex expansion of a graph are a $O(\sqrt{\log n})$-approximation algorithm due to…

Let $\FF$ be an arbitrary field and $(\bm{G}_{n,d/n})_n$ be a sequence of sparse weighted Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs on $n$ vertices with edge probability $d/n$, where weights from $\FF \setminus\{0\}$ are assigned to the edges…

We consider the problem of finding a large clique in an Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph where we are allowed unbounded computational time but can only query a limited number of edges. Recall that the largest clique in $G \sim G(n,1/2)$ has…

Given an $n\times n$ symmetric matrix $W\in [0,1]^{[n]\times [n]}$, let $\mathcal{G}(n,W)$ be the random graph obtained by independently including each edge $jk$ with probability $W_{jk}$. Given a degree sequence ${\bf d}=(d_1,\ldots,…

We develop a theory of ultrametric graphons as limiting objects for random networks with nested hierarchical community structure. A graphon $W:[0,1]^2\to[0,1]$ is called ultrametric if $W(x,y)=w(d(x,y))$, where $d$ is an ultrametric on…

We consider the normalized adjacency matrix of a random $d$-regular graph on $N$ vertices with any fixed degree $d\geq 3$ and denote its eigenvalues as $\lambda_1=d/\sqrt{d-1}\geq \lambda_2\geq\lambda_3\cdots\geq \lambda_N$. We establish…

This paper is devoted to the distributed complexity of finding an approximation of the maximum cut in graphs. A classical algorithm consists in letting each vertex choose its side of the cut uniformly at random. This does not require any…

We develop a new framework for generalizing approximation algorithms from the structural graph algorithm literature so that they apply to graphs somewhat close to that class (a scenario we expect is common when working with real-world…

Many tools from the field of graph signal processing exploit knowledge of the underlying graph's structure (e.g., as encoded in the Laplacian matrix) to process signals on the graph. Therefore, in the case when no graph is available, graph…
