We describe a probabilistic methodology, based on random walk estimates, to obtain exponential upper bounds for the probability of observing unusually small maximal components in two classical (near-)critical random graph models. More…

A wide array of random graph models have been postulated to understand properties of observed networks. Typically these models have a parameter $t$ and a critical time $t_c$ when a giant component emerges. It is conjectured that for a large…

The configuration model is a sequence of random graphs constructed such that in the large network limit the degree distribution converges to a pre-specified probability distribution. The component structure of such random graphs can be…

We consider vertex percolation on pseudo-random $d-$regular graphs. The previous study by the second author established the existence of phase transition from small components to a linear (in $\frac{n}{d}$) sized component, at…

It is shown that in a subcritical random graph with given vertex degrees satisfying a power law degree distribution with exponent $\gamma>3$, the largest component is of order $n^{1/(\gamma-1)}$. More precisely, the order of the largest…

We consider site (vertex) percolation on $d$-regular graphs, for both constant-degree and growing-degree cases. We give sufficient, and relatively tight, conditions for the emergence of the ``Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi component phenomenon" in the…

Let $d\ge 3$ be a fixed integer, $p\in (0,1)$, and let $n\geq 1$ be a positive integer such that $dn$ is even. Let $\mathbb{G}(n, d, p)$ be a (random) graph on $n$ vertices obtained by drawing uniformly at random a $d$-regular (simple)…

Limiting distributions are derived for the sparse connected components that are present when a random graph on $n$ vertices has approximately $\half n$ edges. In particular, we show that such a graph consists entirely of trees, unicyclic…

In this paper, we study the critical behavior of percolation on a configuration model with degree distribution satisfying an infinite second-moment condition, which includes power-law degrees with exponent $\tau \in (2,3)$. It is well known…

Preferential attachment networks with power law exponent $\tau>3$ are known to exhibit a phase transition. There is a value $\rho_{\rm c}>0$ such that, for small edge densities $\rho\leq \rho_c$ every component of the graph comprises an…

We consider the component structure of the random digraph $D(n,p)$ inside the critical window $p = n^{-1} + \lambda n^{-4/3}$.We show that the largest component $\mathcal{C}_1$ has size of order $n^{1/3}$ in this range. In particular we…
