A popular method for sampling from high-dimensional distributions is the \emph{Gibbs sampler}, which iteratively resamples sites from the conditional distribution of the desired measure given the values of the other coordinates. It is…
One model of real-life spreading processes is First Passage Percolation (also called SI model) on random graphs. Social interactions often follow bursty patterns, which are usually modelled with i.i.d.~heavy-tailed passage times on edges.…
An explosive percolation transition is the abrupt emergence of a giant cluster at a threshold caused by a suppression of the growth of large clusters. In this paper, we consider the information entropy of the cluster size distribution,…
The contact model for the spread of disease may be viewed as a directed percolation model on $\ZZ \times \RR$ in which the continuum axis is oriented in the direction of increasing time. Techniques from percolation have enabled a fairly…
We introduce a percolation model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, $d \geq 3$, in which the discrete lines of vertices that are parallel to the coordinate axis are entirely removed at random and independently of each other. In this way a vertex belongs to…
Percolation theory is extensively studied in statistical physics and mathematics with applications in diverse fields. However, the research is focused on systems with only one type of links, connectivity links. We review a recently…
Consider a uniformly random regular graph of a fixed degree $d\ge3$, with $n$ vertices. Suppose that each edge is open (closed), with probability $p(q=1-p)$, respectively. In 2004 Alon, Benjamini and Stacey proved that $p^*=(d-1)^{-1}$ is…
Analytical results are derived for the bond percolation threshold and the size of the giant connected component in a class of random networks with non-zero clustering. The network's degree distribution and clustering spectrum may be…
We analyze critical phenomena on networks generated as the union of hidden variables models (networks with any desired degree sequence) with arbitrary graphs. The resulting networks are general small-worlds similar to those a` la Watts and…
In the Constrained-degree percolation model on a graph $(\mathbb{V},\mathbb{E})$ there are a sequence, $(U_e)_{e\in\mathbb{E}}$, of i.i.d. random variables with distribution $U[0,1]$ and a positive integer $k$. Each bond $e$ tries to open…
Interactive statistical decision making (ISDM) features algorithm-dependent data generated through interaction. Existing information-theoretic lower bounds in ISDM largely target expected risk, while tail-sensitive objectives are less…
We propose a general model of unweighted and undirected networks having the scale-free property and fractal nature. Unlike the existing models of fractal scale-free networks (FSFNs), the present model can systematically and widely change…
The problem of continuum percolation in dispersions of rods is reformulated in terms of weighted random geometric graphs. Nodes (or sites or vertices) in the graph represent spatial locations occupied by the centers of the rods. The…
This article is devoted to the study of a finite system of long clusters of subcritical 2-dimensional FK-percolation with q $\geq$ 1, conditioned on mutual avoidance. We show that the diffusive scaling limit of such a system is given by a…
We consider simple random walk on the incipient infinite cluster for the spread-out model of oriented percolation on $Z^d \times Z_+$. In dimensions $d>6$, we obtain bounds on exit times, transition probabilities, and the range of the…
Plaquette models are short range ferromagnetic spin models that play a key role in the dynamic facilitation approach to the liquid glass transition. In this paper we study the dynamics of the square plaquette model at the smallest of the…
We study the topology of a random cubical complex associated to Bernoulli site percolation on a cubical grid. We begin by establishing a limit law for homotopy types. More precisely, looking within an expanding window, we define a sequence…
We consider the Constrained-degree percolation model in random environment on the square lattice. In this model, each vertex $v$ has an independent random constraint ${\kappa}_v$ which takes the value $j\in \{0,1,2,3\}$ with probability…
Motivated by the success of a k-clique percolation method for the identification of overlapping communities in large real networks, here we study the k-clique percolation problem in the Erdos-Renyi graph. When the probability p of two nodes…
We investigate the cutoff phenomenon for Markov processes under information divergences such as $f$-divergences and R\'enyi divergences. We classify most common divergences into four types, namely $L^2$-type, $\mathrm{TV}$-type,…
