The network alignment (or graph matching) problem refers to recovering the node-to-node correspondence between two correlated networks. In this paper, we propose a network alignment algorithm which works without using a seed set of…

At high levels, the asymptotic distribution of a stationary, regularly varying Markov chain is conveniently given by its tail process. The latter takes the form of a geometric random walk, the increment distribution depending on the sign of…

Ranking systems produce ordered lists from scalar scores, yet the ranking itself depends only on pairwise comparisons. We develop a mathematical theory that takes this observation seriously, centering the analysis on pairwise margins rather…

Score-based diffusion models have become a powerful framework for generative modeling, with score estimation as a central statistical bottleneck. Existing guarantees for score estimation largely focus on light-tailed targets or rely on…

We consider a Markov modulated fluid network with a finite number of stations. We are interested in the tail asymptotics behavior of the stationary distribution of its buffer content process. Using two different approaches, we derive upper…

In a graph, nodes can be characterized locally (with their degree $k$) or globally (e.g. with their average length path $\xi$ to other nodes). Here we investigate how $\xi$ depends on $k$. Our earlier algorithm of the construction of the…

In the sufficiently sparse case, we find the probability that a uniformly random bipartite graph with given degree sequence contains no edge from a specified set of edges. This enables us to enumerate loop-free digraphs and oriented graphs…

PageRank has become a key element in the success of search engines, allowing to rank the most important hits in the top screen of results. One key aspect that distinguishes PageRank from other prestige measures such as in-degree is its…

We consider the tail distribution of the edge cover time of a specific non-Markov process, $\delta$ once-reinforced random walk, on finite connected graphs, whose transition probability is proportional to weights of edges. Here the weights…
