Let $F$ be a probability distribution with support on the non-negative integers. Four methods for generating a simple undirected graph with (approximate) degree distribution $F$ are described and compared. Two methods are based on the so…
In this paper, we define a directed version of the Diffusion-Limited-Aggregation model. We present several equivalent definitions in finite volume and a definition in infinite volume. We obtain bounds on the speed of propagation of…
We consider random $n\times n$ matrices of the form $Y_n=\frac1{\sqrt{d}}A_n\circ X_n$, where $A_n$ is the adjacency matrix of a uniform random $d$-regular directed graph on $n$ vertices, with $d=\lfloor p n\rfloor$ for some fixed $p \in…
We consider the distributed optimization problem for the sum of convex functions where the underlying communications network connecting agents at each time is drawn at random from a collection of directed graphs. Building on an earlier work…
The diameter of a strongly connected $d$-dimensional simplicial complex is the diameter of its dual graph. We provide a probabilistic proof of the existence of $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes with diameter $ (\frac{1}{d \cdot d!} -…
We show that, in almost every $n$-vertex random directed graph process, a copy of every possible $n$-vertex oriented cycle will appear strictly before a directed Hamilton cycle does, except of course for the directed cycle itself.…
In this paper we give a formula for the probability that $n$ random points chosen under the uniform distribution in a disk are in convex position. While close, the formula is recursive and is totally explicit only for the first values of…
We investigate the component sizes of the critical configuration model, as well as the related problem of critical percolation on a supercritical configuration model. We show that, at criticality, the finite third moment assumption on the…
We study the long range percolation model on $\mathbb{Z}$ where sites $i$ and $j$ are connected with probability $\beta |i-j|^{-s}$. Graph distances are now well understood for all exponents $s$ except in the case $s=2$ where the model…
We show that an intricate relation of cluster properties and optimal bipartitions, which takes place in undirected random graphs, extends to directed and mixed random graphs. In particular, the satisfability threshold coincides with the…
We study the probabilistic properties of the Greatest Increase Grid (GIG) digraph. We compute the probability of a particular sequence of directed edges connecting two random vertices. We compute the joint probability that a set of vertices…
One way to characterize configurations of points up to congruence is by considering the distribution of all mutual distances between points. This paper deals with the question if point configurations are uniquely determined by this…
We consider a directed variant of the negative-weight percolation model in a two-dimensional, periodic, square lattice. The problem exhibits edge weights which are taken from a distribution that allows for both positive and negative values.…
We consider directed percolation with an absorbing boundary in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions. The distribution of cluster lifetimes and sizes depend on the boundary. The new scaling exponents can be related to the exponents characterizing standard…
We study the behavior of the random walk in a continuum independent long-range percolation model, in which two given vertices $x$ and $y$ are connected with probability that asymptotically behaves like $|x-y|^{-\alpha}$ with $\alpha>d$,…
Consider $n$ points distributed uniformly in $[0,1]^d$. Form a graph by connecting two points if their mutual distance is no greater than $r(n)$. This gives a random geometric graph, $\gnrn$, which is connected for appropriate $r(n)$. We…
Explicit analytical expressions for the drag and diffusion coefficients of a spherical particle attached to the interface between two immiscible fluids are constructed for the case of a small viscosity ratio between the fluid phases. The…
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 apply the theory of unimodular random rooted graphs to study the metric geometry of large, finite, bounded degree graphs whose diameter is proportional to their volume. We prove that for a positive proportion of the vertices of such a…
We study the transport properties of directed percolation clusters at the upper critical dimension $d_{c} = 4+1$, where critical fluctuations induce logarithmic corrections to the leading (mean-field) scaling behavior. Employing field…
