This paper considers an edge minimization problem in saturated bipartite graphs. An $n$ by $n$ bipartite graph $G$ is $H$-saturated if $G$ does not contain a subgraph isomorphic to $H$ but adding any missing edge to $G$ creates a copy of…

Given an integer k, we consider the parallel k-stripping process applied to a hypergraph H: removing all vertices with degree less than k in each iteration until reaching the k-core of H. Take H as H_r(n,m): a random r-uniform hypergraph on…

A random graph model on a host graph H is said to be 1-independent if for every pair of vertex-disjoint subsets A,B of E(H), the state of edges (absent or present) in A is independent of the state of edges in B. For an infinite connected…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a family of edge-colored graphs. A $t$-edge colored graph $G$ is $(\mathcal{C}, t)$-saturated if $G$ does not contain any graph in $\mathcal{C}$ but the addition of any edge in any color in $[t]$ creates a copy of some…

A simple lemma bounds $\mathrm{s.d.}(T)/\mathbb{E} T$ for hitting times $T$ in Markov chains with a certain strong monotonicity property. We show how this lemma may be applied to several increasing set-valued processes. Our main result…

A graph is K_{2,3}-saturated if it has no subgraph isomorphic to K_{2,3}, but does contain a K_{2,3} after the addition of any new edge. We prove that the minimum number of edges in a K_{2,3}-saturated graph on n >= 5 vertices is sat(n,…

We consider the $2$-neighbor bootstrap percolation process on the $n$-dimensional $q$-ary hypercube with vertex set $V=\{0,1,\dots,q-1\}^n$ and edges connecting the pairs at Hamming distance $1$. We extend the main theorem of…

For a given graph $F$, the $F$-saturation number of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges in an edge-maximal $F$-free subgraph of $G$. Recently, the $F$-saturation number of the Erd\H{o}s$\text{\bf--}$R\'enyi random graph…

For a graph $F$, we say that another graph $G$ is $F$-saturated, if $G$ is $F$-free and adding any edge to $G$ would create a copy of $F$. We study for a given graph $F$ and integer $n$ whether there exists a regular $n$-vertex…

Majority bootstrap percolation is a model of infection spreading in networks. Starting with a set of initially infected vertices, new vertices become infected once half of their neighbours are infected. Balogh, Bollob\'{a}s and Morris…

Given an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ and a positive integer $n$, the weak saturation number $\mathrm{wsat}(n,H)$ is the minimum number of edges in an $r$-uniform hypergraph $F$ on $n$ vertices such that the missing edges in $F$ can be added,…

We study atypical behavior in bootstrap percolation on the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph. Initially a set $S$ is infected. Other vertices are infected once at least $r$ of their neighbors become infected. Janson et al. (2012) locates the…

This paper focuses on the time constant for last passage percolation on complete graph. Let $G_n=([n],E_n)$ be the complete graph on vertex set $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, and i.i.d. sequence $\{X_e:e\in E_n\}$ be the passage times of edges.…

We prove tight bounds on the site percolation threshold for $k$-uniform hypergraphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ and for $k$-uniform hypergraphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ in which any pair of edges overlaps in at most $r$ vertices. The…

This paper is dedicated to the study of the interaction between dynamical systems and percolation models, with views towards the study of viral infections whose virus mutate with time. Recall that r-bootstrap percolation describes a…

For graphs $G$ and $F$, the saturation number $\textit{sat}(G,F)$ is the minimum number of edges in an inclusion-maximal $F$-free subgraph of $G$. In 2017, Kor\'andi and Sudakov initiated the study of saturation in random graphs. They…

For a given graph $F$, a graph $G$ is said to be $F$-saturated if $G$ contains no copy of $F$ but for any edge $uv\notin E(G)$, $G+uv$ contains a copy of $F$. The saturation number $sat(n,F)$ is defined as the minimum number of edges among…

Let $G$ be a graph having a vertex $v$ such that $H = G - v$ is a trivially perfect graph. We give a polynomial-time algorithm for the problem of deciding whether it is possible to add at most $k$ edges to $G$ to obtain a trivially perfect…

One model of real-life spreading processes is First Passage Percolation (also called SI model) on random graphs. Social interactions often follow bursty patterns, which are usually modelled with i.i.d.~heavy-tailed passage times on edges.…

The H-free process, for some fixed graph H, is the random graph process defined by starting with an empty graph on n vertices and then adding edges one at a time, chosen uniformly at random subject to the constraint that no H subgraph is…
