Graph matching is a fruitful area in terms of both algorithms and theories. In this paper, we exploit the degree information, which was previously used only in noiseless graphs and perfectly-overlapping Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graphs…

This paper concerns the large deviations of a system of interacting particles on a random graph. There is no stochasticity, and the only sources of disorder are the random graph connections, and the initial condition. The average number of…

We propose an efficient algorithm for matching two correlated Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi graphs with $n$ vertices whose edges are correlated through a latent vertex correspondence. When the edge density $q= n^{- \alpha+o(1)}$ for a constant $\alpha…
