Two landmark results in combinatorial random matrix theory, due to Koml\'os and Costello-Tao-Vu, show that discrete random matrices and symmetric discrete random matrices are typically nonsingular. In particular, in the language of graph…

Very sparse random graphs are known to typically be singular (i.e., have singular adjacency matrix), due to the presence of "low-degree dependencies'' such as isolated vertices and pairs of degree-1 vertices with the same neighbourhood. We…

Each vertex of an arbitrary simple graph on $n$ vertices chooses $k$ random incident edges. What is the expected number of edges in the original graph that connect different connected components of the sampled subgraph? We prove that the…

In this note we consider a Ramsey property of random $d$-regular graphs, $\mathcal{G}(n,d)$. Let $r\ge 2$ be fixed. Then w.h.p. the edges of $\mathcal{G}(n, 2r)$ can be colored such that every monochromatic component has size $o(n)$. On the…

We study the component structure in random intersection graphs with tunable clustering, and show that the average degree works as a threshold for a phase transition for the size of the largest component. That is, if the expected degree is…

The random coloured graph $G_c(n,p)$ is obtained from the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ by assigning to each edge a colour from a set of $c$ colours independently and uniformly at random. It is not hard to see that,…

Random K-out graphs are receiving attention as a model to construct sparse yet well-connected topologies in distributed systems including sensor networks, federated learning, and cryptocurrency networks. In response to the growing…

Random directed graphs $D(n,p)$ undergo a phase transition around the point $p = 1/n$, and the width of the transition window has been known since the works of Luczak and Seierstad. They have established that as $n \to \infty$ when $p = (1…

In 2004, Frieze, Krivelevich and Martin [17] established the emergence of a giant component in random subgraphs of pseudo-random graphs. We study several typical properties of the giant component, most notably its expansion characteristics.…

We study the following question raised by Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal in the early 90's. Over all $n$-vertex graphs $G$ what is the smallest possible value of $m$ for which any $m$ vertices of $G$ contain both a clique and an independent set of…

A fundamental question that shrouds the emergence of massively parallel computing (MPC) platforms is how can the additional power of the MPC paradigm be leveraged to achieve faster algorithms compared to classical parallel models such as…

The classical random graph model $G(n,\lambda/n)$ satisfies a `duality principle', in that removing the giant component from a supercritical instance of the model leaves (essentially) a subcritical instance. Such principles have been proved…

One of the central questions in Ramsey theory asks how small can be the size of the largest clique and independent set in a graph on $N$ vertices. By the celebrated result of Erd\H{o}s from 1947, the random graph on $N$ vertices with edge…

A graph is prime (with respect to the split decomposition) if its vertex set does not admit a partition (A,B) (called a split) with |A|, |B| >= 2 such that the set of edges joining A and B induces a complete bipartite graph. We prove that…

We consider two classes of random graphs: $(a)$ Poissonian random graphs in which the $n$ vertices in the graph have i.i.d.\ weights distributed as $X$, where $\mathbb{E}(X) = \mu$. Edges are added according to a product measure and the…

Consider the random graph on $n$ vertices $1, ..., n$. Each vertex $i$ is assigned a type $X_i$ with $X_1, ..., X_n$ being independent identically distributed as a nonnegative discrete random variable $X$. We assume that ${\bf E}…

Let $m, n > 1$ be two integers, and $\mathbb{Z}_n$ be a $\mathbb{Z}_m$-module. Let $I(\mathbb{Z}_m)^*$ be the set of all non- zero proper ideals of $\mathbb{Z}_m$. The $\mathbb{Z}_n$-intersection graph of $\mathbb{Z}_m$, denoted by…

In this paper, we study the outerplanarity of planar graphs, i.e., the number of times that we must (in a planar embedding that we can initially freely choose) remove the outerface vertices until the graph is empty. It is well-known that…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ be hereditary graph classes. Consider the following problem: given a graph $G\in\mathcal{D}$, find a largest, in terms of the number of vertices, induced subgraph of $G$ that belongs to $\mathcal{C}$. We…

We study the detection and the reconstruction of a large very dense subgraph in a social graph with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges given as a stream of edges, when the graph follows a power law degree distribution, in the regime when $m=O(n. \log…
