There is still much to discover about the mechanisms and nature of discontinuous percolation transitions. Much of the past work considers graph evolution algorithms known as Achlioptas processes in which a single edge is added to the graph…

We present a detailed study of the evolution of the giant component of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph process as the mean degree increases from 1 to infinity. It leads to the identification of the limiting process of the rescaled fluctuations…

The Axelrod model has been widely studied since its proposal for social influence and cultural dissemination. In particular, the community of statistical physics focused on the presence of a phase transition as a function of its two main…

In this paper we review the recent advances on explosive percolation, a very sharp phase transition first observed by Achlioptas et al. (Science, 2009). There a simple model was proposed, which changed slightly the classical percolation…

We consider a variant of the classical Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph, where components with surplus are slowed down to prevent the apparition of complex components. The sizes of the components of this process undergo a similar phase…

Networks are ubiquitous in diverse real-world systems. Many empirical networks grow as the number of nodes increases with time. Percolation transitions in growing random networks can be of infinite order. However, when the growth of large…

We propose a method to associate a differentiable Riemannian manifold to a generic many degrees of freedom discrete system which is not described by a Hamiltonian function. Then, in analogy with classical Statistical Mechanics, we introduce…

We analyze the component evolution in inhomogeneous random intersection graphs when the average degree is close to 1. As the average degree increases, the size of the largest component in the random intersection graph goes through a phase…

Random graph models with limited choice have been studied extensively with the goal of understanding the mechanism of the emergence of the giant component. One of the standard models are the Achlioptas random graph processes on a fixed set…

The percolation phase transitions of two-dimensional lattice networks under a generalized Achlioptas process (GAP) are investigated. During the GAP, two edges are chosen randomly from the lattice and the edge with minimum product of the two…

Consider the complete graph on \(n\) vertices where each edge is independently open with probability \(p,\) or closed otherwise. Phase transitions for such graphs for \(p = \frac{C}{n}\) have previously been studied using techniques like…

Percolation is one of the most studied processes in statistical physics. A recent paper by Achlioptas et al. [Science 323, 1453 (2009)] has shown that the percolation transition, which is usually continuous, becomes discontinuous…

We propose two classes of dynamic versions of the classical Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph: one in which the transition rates are governed by an external regime process, and one in which the transition rates are periodically resampled. For both…

We apply here methods of inhomogeneous random graphs to a class of random distance graphs. This provides an example outside of the rank 1 models which is still solvable as long as the largest connected component is concerned. In particular,…

The finite-size scaling (FSS) theory for continuous phase transitions has been useful in determining the critical behavior from the size dependent behaviors of thermodynamic quantities. When the phase transition is discontinuous, however,…

The random geometric graph is obtained by sampling $n$ points from the unit square (uniformly at random and independently), and connecting two points whenever their distance is at most $r$, for some given $r=r(n)$. We consider the following…

We study random graphs with latent geometric structure, where the probability of each edge depends on the underlying random positions corresponding to the two endpoints. We focus on the setting where this conditional probability is a…

The Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi process begins with an empty graph on n vertices and edges are added randomly one at a time to a graph. A classical result of Erd\H{o}s and R\'{e}nyi states that the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi process undergoes a phase…

We consider a generalised model of a random simplicial complex, which arises from a random hypergraph. Our model is generated by taking the downward-closure of a non-uniform binomial random hypergraph, in which for each $k$, each set of…

Let $\mathbb{S}_g$ be the orientable surface of genus $g$. We prove that the component structure of a graph chosen uniformly at random from the class $\mathcal{S}_g(n,m)$ of all graphs on vertex set $[n]=\{1,\dotsc,n\}$ with $m$ edges…
