Let $\mathcal{G}(N,\frac 1Nt_N)$ be the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph with connection probability $\frac 1Nt_N\sim t/N$ as $N\to\infty$ for a fixed $t\in(0,\infty)$. We derive a large-deviations principle for the empirical measure of the sizes of…

In this article for a finite typed random geometric graph we define the empirical locality distribution, which records the number of nodes of a given type linked to a given number of nodes of each type. We find large deviation principle…

We study the emergence of the giant component in the random cluster model on the complete graph, which was first studied by Bollob\'as, Grimmett, and Janson. We give an alternative analysis using a thermodynamic/large deviations approach…

We study the algorithmic problem of finding large $\gamma$-balanced independent sets in dense random bipartite graphs; an independent set is $\gamma$-balanced if a $\gamma$ proportion of its vertices lie on one side of the bipartition. In…

We investigate the dynamic formation of regular random graphs. In our model, we pick a pair of nodes at random and connect them with a link if both of their degrees are smaller than d. Starting with a set of isolated nodes, we repeat this…

Let $M_{l,n}$ be the number of blocks with frequency $l$ in the exchangeable random partition induced by a sample of size $n$ from the Ewens-Pitman sampling model. We show that, as $n$ tends to infinity, $n^{-1}M_{l,n}$ satisfies a large…

What does an Erdos-Renyi graph look like when a rare event happens? This paper answers this question when p is fixed and n tends to infinity by establishing a large deviation principle under an appropriate topology. The formulation and…

It is an easy observation that a natural greedy approach yields a $\left(d-O(1)\right)$-factor approximation algorithm for the maximum induced matching problem in $d$-regular graphs. The only considerable and non-trivial improvement of this…

By constructing jointly a random graph and an associated exploration process, we define the dynamics of a "parking process" on a class of uniform random graphs as a measure-valued Markov process, representing the empirical degree…

A method for compression of large graphs and matrices to a block structure is further developed. Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma is used as a generic motivation of the significance of stochastic block models. Another ingredient of the method…

We identify the upper large deviation probability for the number of edges in scale-free geometric random graph models as the space volume goes to infinity. Our result covers the models of scale-free percolation, the Boolean model with…

We consider temporal models of rapidly changing Markovian networks modulated by time-evolving spatially dependent kernels that define rates for edge formation and dissolution. Alternatively, these can be viewed as Markovian networks with…

In this note, we analyze two random greedy processes on sparse random graphs and hypergraphs with a given degree sequence. First we analyze the matching process, which builds a set of disjoint edges one edge at a time; then we analyze the…
