We analyze directed, unweighted graphs obtained from $x_i\in \mathbb{R}^d$ by connecting vertex $i$ to $j$ iff $|x_i - x_j| < \epsilon(x_i)$. Examples of such graphs include $k$-nearest neighbor graphs, where $\epsilon(x_i)$ varies from…

We locate the critical threshold $p_c$ at which it becomes likely that the complete graph $K_n$ can be obtained from the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph ${\cal G}_{n,p}$ by iteratively completing copies of $K_4$ minus an edge. This refines work of…
