We view hyper-graphs as incidence graphs, i.e. bipartite graphs with a set of nodes representing vertices and a set of nodes representing hyper-edges, with two nodes being adjacent if the corresponding vertex belongs to the corresponding…
We consider models of evolving networks $\{\mathcal{G}_n:n\geq 0\}$ modulated by two parameters: an attachment function $f:\mathbb{N}_0\to\mathbb{R}_+$ and a (possibly random) attachment sequence $\{m_i:i\geq 1\}$. Starting with a single…
In studying randomized search heuristics, a frequent quantity of interest is the first time a (real-valued) stochastic process obtains (or passes) a certain value. The processes under investigation commonly show a bias towards this goal,…
Random walks are used for modeling various dynamics in, for example, physical, biological, and social contexts. Furthermore, their characteristics provide us with useful information on the phase transition and critical phenomena of even…
Given a hereditary graph property $\mathcal{P}$, consider distributions of random orderings of vertices of graphs $G\in\mathcal{P}$ that are preserved under isomorphisms and under taking induced subgraphs. We show that for many properties…
We consider the open problem concerning the possible lack of concentration of the degree distribution in preferential attachment graphs with random initial degree, when its distribution is characterized by extremely heavy tails of power-law…
In this work we investigate a bootstrap percolation process on random graphs generated by a random graph model which combines preferential attachment and edge insertion between previously existing vertices. The probabilities of adding…
We consider an evolving random discrete tree model called Preferential Attachment with Vertex Death, as introduced by Deijfen. Initialised with an alive root labelled $1$, at each step $n\geq1$ either a new vertex with label $n+1$ is…
We consider random-access networks where nodes represent servers with a queue and can be either active or inactive. A node deactivates at unit rate, while it activates at a rate that depends on its queue length, provided none of its…
We study the number of isolated vertices in a preferential attachment random graph introduced by Dereich and M\"orters in 2009. In this graph model vertices are added over time and newly arriving vertices connect to older ones with…
We consider a class of growing random graphs obtained by creating vertices sequentially one by one: at each step, we choose uniformly the neighbours of the newly created vertex; its degree is a random variable with a fixed but arbitrary…
In principle, the rules of links formation of a network model can be considered as a kind of link prediction algorithm. By revisiting the preferential attachment mechanism for generating a scale-free network, here we propose a class of…
Our work introduces an approach for estimating the contribution of attachment mechanisms to the formation of growing networks. We present a generic model in which growth is driven by the continuous attachment of new nodes according to…
We study a random recursive tree model featuring complete redirection called the random friend tree and introduced by Saram\"aki and Kaski. Vertices are attached in a sequential manner one by one by selecting an existing target vertex and…
We study spreading processes in temporal graphs, i. e., graphs whose connections change over time. These processes naturally model real-world phenomena such as infectious diseases or information flows. More precisely, we investigate how…
In this paper we study a version of (non-Markovian) first passage percolation on graphs, where the transmission time between two connected vertices is non-iid, but increases by a penalty factor polynomial in their expected degrees. Based on…
We study the cover time of a random graph chosen uniformly at random from the set of graphs with vertex set $[n]$ and degree sequence $\mathbf{d}=(d_i)_{i=1}^n$. In a previous work, the asymptotic cover time was obtained under a number of…
We prove non-universality results for first-passage percolation on the configuration model with i.i.d. degrees having infinite variance. We focus on the weight of the optimal path between two uniform vertices. Depending on the properties of…
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…
Motivated by the problem of detecting a change in the evolution of a network, we consider the preferential attachment random graph model with a time-dependent attachment function. Our goal is to detect whether the attachment mechanism…
