Dense random packings of hard particles are useful models of granular media and are closely related to the structure of nonequilibrium low-temperature amorphous phases of matter. Most work has been done for random jammed packings of…
The classic combinatorial construct of {\em maximum matchings} probes the random geometry of regions with local sublattice imbalance in a site-diluted bipartite lattice. We demonstrate that these regions, which host the monomers of any…
We describe approximation algorithms in Linial's classic LOCAL model of distributed computing to find maximum-weight matchings in a hypergraph of rank $r$. Our main result is a deterministic algorithm to generate a matching which is an…
Hyperuniformity characterizes a state of matter that is poised at a critical point at which density or volume-fraction fluctuations are anomalously suppressed at infinite wavelengths. Recently, much attention has been given to the link…
Random $s$-intersection graphs have recently received considerable attention in a wide range of application areas. In such a graph, each vertex is equipped with a set of items in some random manner, and any two vertices establish an…
For the set of graphs with a given degree sequence, consisting of any number of $2's$ and $1's$, and its subset of bipartite graphs, we characterize the optimal graphs who maximize and minimize the number of $m$-matchings. We find the…
The Szemer\'edi Regularity Lemma, in combination with the Blow-up Lemma, form the Regularity Method, a fundamental tool in graph embeddings, albeit restricted to very large and dense graphs. We propose an alternative vertex-partitioning…
Despite there being significant work on developing spectral, and metric embedding based approximation algorithms for hypergraph generalizations of conductance, little is known regarding the approximability of hypergraph partitioning…
In this note, we give a closed formula for the partition function of the dimer model living on a (2 x n) strip of squares or hexagons on the torus for arbitrary even n. The result is derived in two ways, by using a Potts model like…
In computer networks, participants may cooperate in processing tasks, so that loads are balanced among them. We present local distributed algorithms that (repeatedly) use local imbalance criteria to transfer loads concurrently across the…
We define the matching measure of a lattice L as the spectral measure of the tree of self-avoiding walks in L. We connect this invariant to the monomer-dimer partition function of a sequence of finite graphs converging to L. This allows us…
In this note we study inhomogeneous random bipartite graphs in random environment. These graphs can be thought of as an extension of the classical Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs in a random environment. We show that the expected number of…
In this paper we further investigate the well-studied problem of finding a perfect matching in a regular bipartite graph. The first non-trivial algorithm, with running time $O(mn)$, dates back to K\"{o}nig's work in 1916 (here $m=nd$ is the…
We consider the disordered monomer-dimer model on general finite graphs with bounded degrees. Under the finite fourth moment assumption on the weight distributions, we prove a Gaussian central limit theorem for the free energy of the…
We consider (a) the partition functions of the anisotropic dimer model on the rectangular (2M-1) x (2N-1) lattice with free and cylindrical boundary conditions with a single monomer residing on the boundary and (b) the partition function of…
In this note we analyze two algorithms, one for producing a matching and one for an independent set, on $k$-uniform $d$-regular hypergraphs of large girth. As a result we obtain new lower bounds on the size of a maximum matching or…
We proved that for any finite collection of sparse subgraphs $(D_m)_{m=1}^\ell$ of the complete graph $K_{2n}$, and a uniformly chosen perfect matching $R$ in $K_{2n}$, the random vector $(|E(R \cap D_m)|)_{m=1}^\ell$ jointly converges to a…
In this paper, we show that a system of localized particles, satisfying the Fermi statistics and subject to finite-range interactions, can be exactly solved in any dimension. In fact, in this case it is always possible to find a finite…
A collection of rigorous results for a class of mean-field monomer-dimer models is presented. It includes a Gaussian representation for the partition function that is shown to considerably simplify the proofs. The solutions of the quenched…
We study the computational complexity of several problems connected with finding a maximal distance-$k$ matching of minimum cardinality or minimum weight in a given graph. We introduce the class of $k$-equimatchable graphs which is an edge…
