A community of $n$ individuals splits into two camps, Red and Blue. The individuals are connected by a social network, which influences their colors. Everyday, each person changes his/her color according to the majority among his/her…

Let H = (V,E) be a k-uniform hypergraph with a vertex set V and an edge set E. Let V_p be constructed by taking every vertex in V independently with probability p. Let X be the number of edges in E that are contained in V_p. We give a…

Settling a first case of a conjecture of M. Kahle on the homology of the clique complex of the random graph $G=G_{n,p}$, we show, roughly speaking, that (with high probability) the triangles of $G$ span its cycle space whenever each of its…

In majority bootstrap percolation on a graph G, an infection spreads according to the following deterministic rule: if at least half of the neighbours of a vertex v are already infected, then v is also infected, and infected vertices remain…

We study the dynamics of randomly connected networks composed of binary Boolean elements and those composed of binary majority vote elements. We elucidate their differences in both sparsely and densely connected cases. The quickness of…

We study one-dimensional spinless fermions with random interactions, but without any on-site disorder. We find that random interactions generically stabilize a many-body localized phase, in spite of the completely extended single-particle…

Answering a question of Claudet, we prove that the uniformly random graph $G\sim \mathbb G(n, 1/2)$ is $\Omega(\sqrt n)$-vertex-minor universal with high probability. That is, for some constant $\alpha\approx 0.911$, any graph on any…

We study random walks on the giant component of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph ${\cal G}(n,p)$ where $p=\lambda/n$ for $\lambda>1$ fixed. The mixing time from a worst starting point was shown by Fountoulakis and Reed, and independently…

A graph is even-degenerate if one can iteratively remove a vertex of even degree at each step until at most one edge remains. Recently, Janzer and Yip showed that the Erd\H{o}s--Renyi random graph $G(n,1/2)$ is even-degenerate with high…

This paper investigates the consensus problem in almost sure sense for uncertain multi-agent systems with noises and fixed topology. By combining the tools of stochastic analysis, algebraic graph theory, and matrix theory, we analyze the…

Inspired by the work of [Kempe, Kleinberg, Oren, Slivkins, EC13] we introduce and analyze a model on opinion formation; the update rule of our dynamics is a simplified version of that of Kempe et. al. We assume that the population is…

We derive the distribution of the maximum number of common neighbours of a pair of vertices in a dense random regular graph.The proof involves two important steps. One step is to establish the extremal independence property: the asymptotic…

For any graph $G=(V,E)$, a subset $S\subseteq V$ $dominates$ $G$ if all vertices are contained in the closed neighborhood of $S$, that is $N[S]=V$. The minimum cardinality over all such $S$ is called the domination number, written…
