To understand how hidden information can be extracted from statistical networks, planted models in random graphs have been the focus of intensive study in recent years. In this work, we consider the detection of a planted matching, i.e., an…

We consider a large class of random geometric graphs constructed from samples $\mathcal{X}_n = \{X_1,X_2,\ldots,X_n\}$ of independent, identically distributed observations of an underlying probability measure $\nu$ on a bounded domain…

A wide variety of complex networks (social, biological, information etc.) exhibit local clustering with substantial variation in the clustering coefficient (the probability of neighbors being connected). Existing models of large graphs…

We present the first polylogarithmic-round algorithm for sampling a random spanning tree in the (Broadcast) Congested Clique model. For any constant $c > 0$, our algorithm outputs a sample from a distribution whose total variation distance…

We investigate numerically and analytically Potts models on ``thin'' random graphs -- generic Feynman diagrams, using the idea that such models may be expressed as the N --> 1 limit of a matrix model. The thin random graphs in this limit…

Let $T$ be a tree on $n$ vertices and with maximum degree $\Delta$. We show that for $k\geq \Delta+1$ the Glauber dynamics for $k$-edge-colourings of $T$ mixes in polynomial time in $n$. The bound on the number of colours is best possible…

We design an efficient sampling algorithm to generate samples from the hardcore model on random regular bipartite graphs as long as $\lambda \lesssim \frac{1}{\sqrt{\Delta}}$, where $\Delta$ is the degree. Combined with recent work of…

We propose an automatable data-driven methodology for robust nonlinear reduced-order modelling from time-resolved snapshot data. In the kinematical coarse-graining, the snapshots are clustered into few centroids representable for the whole…

The random-cluster model is a unifying framework for studying random graphs, spin systems in physics and random spanning trees. The model is closely related to, though much more general than the classical Ising and Potts models, but its…

In the last decades, the study of models for large real-world networks has been a very popular and active area of research. A reasonable model should not only replicate all the structural properties that are observed in real world networks…

We consider the problem of sampling from the uniform distribution on the set of Eulerian orientations of subgraphs of the triangular lattice. Although it is known that this can be achieved in polynomial time for any graph, the algorithm…

We show that a simple Markov chain, the Glauber dynamics, can efficiently sample independent sets almost uniformly at random in polynomial time for graphs in a certain class. The class is determined by boundedness of a new graph parameter…

Ferromagnetic exponential random graph models (ERGMs) are nonlinear exponential tilts of Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi models, under which the presence of certain subgraphs such as triangles may be emphasized. These models are mixtures of metastable…

Monte Carlo algorithms, like the Swendsen-Wang and invaded-cluster, sample the Ising and Potts models asymptotically faster than single-spin Glauber dynamics do. Here, we generalize both algorithms to sample Potts lattice gauge theory by…

Many online networks are measured and studied via sampling techniques, which typically collect a relatively small fraction of nodes and their associated edges. Past work in this area has primarily focused on obtaining a representative…

We define a discrete-time Markov chain for abstract polymer models and show that under sufficient decay of the polymer weights, this chain mixes rapidly. We apply this Markov chain to polymer models derived from the hard-core and…

A well-known conjecture in computer science and statistical physics is that Glauber dynamics on the set of $k$-colorings of a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with maximum degree $\Delta$ is rapidly mixing for $k\ge\Delta+2$. In FOCS 1999, Vigoda…

We study the problem of maximizing the number of full degree vertices in a spanning tree $T$ of a graph $G$; that is, the number of vertices whose degree in $T$ equals its degree in $G$. In cubic graphs, this problem is equivalent to…

We prove that if a tree $T$ has $n$ vertices and maximum degree at most $\Delta$, then a copy of $T$ can almost surely be found in the random graph $\mathcal{G}(n,\Delta\log^5 n/n)$.

We consider a random geometric graph with vertices sampled from a probability measure supported on $\mathbb R^d$, and study its connectivity. We show the graph is typically disconnected, unless the sampling density has superexponential…
