The behavior of a certain random growth process is analyzed on arbitrary regular and non-regular graphs. Our argument is based on the Expander Mixing Lemma, which entails that the results are strongest for Ramanujan graphs, which…

Consider an undirected graph G, representing a social network, where each node is blue or red, corresponding to positive or negative opinion on a topic. In the voter model, in discrete time rounds, each node picks a neighbour uniformly at…

In the evolving voter model, when an individual interacts with a neighbor having an opinion different from theirs, they will with probability $1-\alpha$ imitate the neighbor but with probability $ \alpha$ will sever the connection and…

We study the algorithmic decidability of the domination number in the Erdos-Renyi random graph model $G(n,p)$. We show that for a carefully chosen edge probability $p=p(n)$, the domination problem exhibits a strong irreducible property.…

We study majority dynamics on the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ with $p = d/n$ and $d > \lambda n^{1/2}$, for some large $\lambda>0$. In this process, each vertex has a state in $\{-1,+1 \}$ and at each round every vertex adopts the state…

We consider the problem of coloring the vertices of a large sparse random graph with a given number of colors so that no adjacent vertices have the same color. Using the cavity method, we present a detailed and systematic analytical study…

The present paper considers testing an Erdos--Renyi random graph model against a stochastic block model in the asymptotic regime where the average degree of the graph grows with the graph size n. Our primary interest lies in those cases in…

In the deterministic binary majority process we are given a simple graph where each node has one out of two initial opinions. In every round, every node adopts the majority opinion among its neighbors. By using a potential argument first…

Consider a graph where each of the $n$ nodes is either in state $\mathcal{R}$ or $\mathcal{B}$. Herein, we analyze the \emph{synchronous $k$-Majority dynamics}, where in each discrete-time round nodes simultaneously sample $k$ neighbors…

One of the most famous results in the theory of random graphs establishes that the threshold for Hamiltonicity in the Erdos-Renyi random graph G_{n,p} is around p ~ (log n + log log n) / n. Much research has been done to extend this to…

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…
