We study a simple random process that computes a maximal independent set (MIS) on a general $n$-vertex graph. Each vertex has a binary state, black or white, where black indicates inclusion into the MIS. The vertex states are arbitrary…
Let $\bk=(k_1,...,k_n)$ be a sequence of $n$ integers. For an increasing monotone graph property $\mP$ we say that a base graph $G=([n],E)$ is \emph{$\bk$-resilient} with respect to $\mP$ if for every subgraph $H\subseteq G$ such that…

A graph matroid family $\mathcal{M}$ is a family of matroids $\mathcal{M}(G)$ defined on the edge set of each finite graph $G$ in a compatible and isomorphism-invariant way. We say that $\mathcal{M}$ has the Whitney property if there is a…

Multi-agent networks are often modeled as interaction graphs, where the nodes represent the agents and the edges denote some direct interactions. The robustness of a multi-agent network to perturbations such as failures, noise, or malicious…
A common model of robustness of a graph against random failures has all vertices operational, but the edges independently operational with probability $p$. One can ask for the probability that all vertices can communicate ({\em all-terminal…

Computer or communication networks are so designed that they do not easily get disrupted under external attack and, moreover, these are easily reconstructible if they do get disrupted. These desirable properties of networks can be measured…
