An important question in statistical network analysis is how to estimate models of discrete and dependent network data with intractable likelihood functions, without sacrificing computational scalability and statistical guarantees. We…
In this paper we study the component structure of random graphs with independence between the edges. Under mild assumptions, we determine whether there is a giant component, and find its asymptotic size when it exists. We assume that the…
We prove that the empirical density of states of quantum spin glasses on arbitrary graphs converges to a normal distribution as long as the maximal degree is negligible compared with the total number of edges. This extends the recent…
We prove that the treewidth of an Erd\"{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph $\rg{n, m}$ is, with high probability, greater than $\beta n$ for some constant $\beta > 0$ if the edge/vertex ratio $\frac{m}{n}$ is greater than 1.073. Our lower bound…
We study the impact of forbidding short cycles to the edge density of $k$-planar graphs; a $k$-planar graph is one that can be drawn in the plane with at most $k$ crossings per edge. Specifically, we consider three settings, according to…
The interchange process on a finite graph is obtained by placing a particle on each vertex of the graph, then at rate 1, selecting an edge uniformly at random and swapping the two particles at either end of this edge. In this paper we…
We determine the computational complexity of approximately counting and sampling independent sets of a given size in bounded-degree graphs. That is, we identify a critical density $\alpha_c(\Delta)$ and provide (i) for $\alpha <…
A graph is $2$-planar if it has local crossing number two, that is, it can be drawn in the plane such that every edge has at most two crossings. A graph is maximal $2$-planar if no edge can be added such that the resulting graph remains…
Within the conventional statistical physics framework, we study critical phenomena in a class of configuration network models with hidden variables controlling links between pairs of nodes. We find analytical expressions for the average…
We consider a random sparse graph with bounded average degree, in which a subset of vertices has higher connectivity than the background. In particular, the average degree inside this subset of vertices is larger than outside (but still…
This paper studies the problem of detecting the presence of a small dense community planted in a large Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $\mathcal{G}(N,q)$, where the edge probability within the community exceeds $q$ by a constant factor.…
One deals with r-regular bipartite graphs with 2n vertices. In a previous paper Butera, Pernici, and the author have introduced a quantity d(i), a function of the number of i-matchings, and conjectured that as n goes to infinity the…
Beyond-planarity focuses on the study of geometric and topological graphs that are in some sense nearly-planar. Here, planarity is relaxed by allowing edge crossings, but only with respect to some local forbidden crossing configurations.…
The classical result of Erdos and Renyi shows that the random graph G(n,p) experiences sharp phase transition around p=1/n - for any \epsilon>0 and p=(1-\epsilon)/n, all connected components of G(n,p) are typically of size O(log n), while…
Consider a random multigraph with given vertex degrees constructed by the configuration model. We give a new proof of the fact that, asymptotically for a sequence of such multigraphs with the number of edges tending to infinity, the…
We determine the asymptotic size of the largest component in the $2$-type binomial random graph $G(\mathbf{n},P)$ near criticality using a refined branching process approach. In $G(\mathbf{n},P)$ every vertex has one of two types, the…
Let $X_1,X_2,...$ be an infinite sequence of i.i.d. random vectors distributed exponentially with parameter $\lam .$ For each $y$ and $n\geq 1,$ form a graph $G_n(y)$ with vertex set $V_n = \{X_1,...,X_n\},$ two vertices are connected if…
We consider inhomogeneous spatial random graphs on the real line. Each vertex carries an i.i.d. weight and edges are drawn such that short edges and edges to vertices with large weights occur with higher probability. This allows the study…
We consider three different models of sparse random graphs:~undirected and directed Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graphs, and random bipartite graph with an equal number of left and right vertices. For such graphs we show that if the edge…
Given a class of graphs G closed under taking minors, we study the maximum degree \Delta_n of random graphs from G with n vertices. We prove several lower and upper bounds that hold with high probability. Among other results, we find…
