We compute the joint large deviation rate functional in the limit of large time for the current flowing through the edges of a finite graph on which a boundary-driven system of stochastic particles evolves with zero-range dynamics.This…
We associate with a Bienayme-Galton-Watson branching process a family tree rooted at the ancestor. For a positive integer N, define a complete N-ary tree to be the family tree of a deterministic branching process with offspring generating…
Approximate random $k$-colouring of a graph $G$ is a well studied problem in computer science and statistical physics. It amounts to constructing a $k$-colouring of $G$ which is distributed close to {\em Gibbs distribution} in polynomial…
We study random graphs with latent geometric structure, where the probability of each edge depends on the underlying random positions corresponding to the two endpoints. We focus on the setting where this conditional probability is a…
Limiting distributions are derived for the sparse connected components that are present when a random graph on $n$ vertices has approximately $\half n$ edges. In particular, we show that such a graph consists entirely of trees, unicyclic…
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…
This paper studies the eigenvalue distribution of the Watts-Strogatz random graph, which is known as the "small-world" random graph. The construction of the small-world random graph starts with a regular ring lattice of n vertices; each has…
Consider a sequence $(\eta^N(t) :t\ge 0)$ of continuous-time, irreducible Markov chains evolving on a fixed finite set $E$, indexed by a parameter $N$. Denote by $R_N(\eta,\xi)$ the jump rates of the Markov chain $\eta^N_t$, and assume that…
We investigate real-time tracking of two correlated stochastic processes over a shared wireless channel. The joint evolution of the processes is modeled as a two-dimensional discrete-time Markov chain. Each process is observed by a…
We propose an analytic approach for the steady-state dynamics of Markov processes on locally tree-like graphs. It is based on time-translation invariant probability distributions for edge trajectories, which we encode in terms of infinite…
We propose a novel method to directly learn a stochastic transition operator whose repeated application provides generated samples. Traditional undirected graphical models approach this problem indirectly by learning a Markov chain model…
We consider a natural variant of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph process in which $k$ vertices are special and are never put into the same connected component. The model is natural and interesting on its own, but is actually inspired by…
We consider the so-called GI/GI/N queueing network in which a stream of jobs with independent and identically distributed service times arrive according to a renewal process to a common queue served by $N$ identical servers in a…
Improving the efficiency of discrete time scale invariant (DSI) processes, we consider some flexible sampling of a continuous time DSI process ${X(t), t\in{R^+}}$ with scale $l>1$, which is in correspondence to some multi-dimensional…
Within a random-matrix-theory approach, we use the nearest-neighbor energy level spacing distribution $P(s)$ and the entropic eigenfunction localization length $\ell$ to study spectral and eigenfunction properties (of adjacency matrices) of…
We consider the random directed graph $\vec{G}(n,p)$ with vertex set $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ in which each of the $n(n-1)$ possible directed edges is present independently with probability $p$. We are interested in the strongly connected…
Motivated by the increasing need for fast processing of large-scale graphs, we study a number of fundamental graph problems in a message-passing model for distributed computing, called $k$-machine model, where we have $k$ machines that…
Given a `genus' function $g=g(n)$, we let $\mathcal{E}^g$ be the class of all graphs $G$ such that if $G$ has order $n$ (that is, has $n$ vertices) then it is embeddable in a surface of Euler genus at most $g(n)$. Let the random graph $R_n$…
We introduce a process where a connected rooted multigraph evolves by splitting events on its vertices, occurring randomly in continuous time. When a vertex splits, its incoming edges are randomly assigned between its offspring and a…
We investigate local-density dependent Markov processes on a class of large graphs sampled from a graphon, where the transition rates of the vertices are influenced by the states of their neighbors. We show that as the average degree…
