For a fixed integer $r\geqslant 3$, let $\mathbb{H}_r(n,p)$ be a random $r$-uniform hypergraph on the vertex set $[n]$, where each $r$-set is an edge randomly and independently with probability $p$. The random $r$-generalized triadic…

We consider the following stochastic matching problem on both weighted and unweighted graphs: A graph $G(V, E)$ along with a parameter $p \in (0, 1)$ is given in the input. Each edge of $G$ is realized independently with probability $p$.…

The k-core of a graph G is the maximal subgraph of G having minimum degree at least k. In 1996, Pittel, Spencer and Wormald found the threshold $\lambda_c$ for the emergence of a non-trivial k-core in the random graph $G(n,\lambda/n)$, and…

A $k$-matching $M$ of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $M\subseteq E$ such that each connected component in the subgraph $F = (V,M)$ of $G$ is either a single-vertex graph or $k$-regular, i.e., each vertex has degree $k$. In this contribution,…

We study the problem of detecting local geometry in random graphs. We introduce a model $\mathcal{G}(n, p, d, k)$, where a hidden community of average size $k$ has edges drawn as a random geometric graph on $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$, while all…

Analysis of algorithms on time-varying networks (often called evolving graphs) is a modern challenge in theoretical computer science. The edge-Markovian is a relatively simple and comprehensive model of evolving graphs: every pair of…

This paper studies the problem of matching two complete graphs with edge weights correlated through latent geometries, extending a recent line of research on random graph matching with independent edge weights to geometric models.…

When $k$ is a constant at least $3$, a sequence $S$ of positive integers is called $k$-GP-free if it contains no nontrivial $k$-term geometric progressions. Beiglb\"ok, Bergelson, Hindman and Strauss first studied the existence of a $…

We consider random sub-graphs of a fixed graph $G=(V,E)$ with large minimum degree. We fix a positive integer $k$ and let $G_k$ be the random sub-graph where each $v\in V$ independently chooses $k$ random neighbors, making $kn$ edges in…

The semi-random graph process is a single player game in which the player is initially presented an empty graph on $n$ vertices. In each round, a vertex $u$ is presented to the player independently and uniformly at random. The player then…

The random greedy algorithm for constructing a large partial Steiner-Triple-System is defined as follows. Begin with a complete graph on $n$ vertices and proceed to remove the edges of triangles one at a time, where each triangle removed is…

In this paper we study $k$-noncrossing matchings. A $k$-noncrossing matching is a labeled graph with vertex set $\{1,...,2n\}$ arranged in increasing order in a horizontal line and vertex-degree 1. The $n$ arcs are drawn in the upper…

We consider the problem of inferring a matching hidden in a weighted random $k$-hypergraph. We assume that the hyperedges' weights are random and distributed according to two different densities conditioning on the fact that they belong to…

Random subsampling of edges is a commonly employed technique in graph algorithms, underlying a vast array of modern algorithmic breakthroughs. Unfortunately, using this technique often leads to randomized algorithms with no clear path to…

We consider a fitness model assumed to generate simple graphs with power-law heavy-tailed degree sequence: P(k) \propto k^{-1-\alpha} with 0 < \alpha < 1, in which the corresponding distributions do not posses a mean. We discuss the…

Given a graph $G(V,E)$, a vertex subset $S$ of $G$ is called an open packing in $G$ if no pair of distinct vertices in $S$ have a common neighbour in $G$. The size of a largest open packing in $G$ is called the open packing number,…

A growing random graph is constructed by successively sampling without replacement an element from the pool of virtual vertices and edges. At start of the process the pool contains $N$ virtual vertices and no edges. Each time a vertex is…

We investigate the following vertex percolation process. Starting with a random regular graph of constant degree, delete each vertex independently with probability p, where p=n^{-alpha} and alpha=alpha(n) is bounded away from 0. We show…

This work studies the typical structure of sparse $H$-free graphs, that is, graphs that do not contain a subgraph isomorphic to a given graph $H$. Extending the seminal result of Osthus, Pr\"omel, and Taraz that addressed the case where $H$…
