We extend the $L^p$ theory of sparse graph limits, which was introduced in a companion paper, by analyzing different notions of convergence. Under suitable restrictions on node weights, we prove the equivalence of metric convergence,…

Many real-world networks exhibit the so-called small-world phenomenon: their typical distances are much smaller than their sizes. One mathematical model for this phenomenon is a long-range percolation graph on a $d$-dimensional box $\{0, 1,…

We study the random directed graph $\vec G(n,p)$ in which each of the $n(n-1)$ possible directed edges are present with probability $p$. We show that in the critical window the longest self avoiding oriented paths in $\vec G(n,p)$ have…

We estimate the minimum number of distance queries that is sufficient to reconstruct the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ with constant diameter with high probability. We get a tight (up to a constant factor) answer for all $p>n^{-1+o(1)}$…

We consider the statistics of the extreme eigenvalues of sparse random matrices, a class of random matrices that includes the normalized adjacency matrices of the Erd{\H o}s-R{\'e}nyi graph $G(N,p)$. Recently, it was shown by Lee, up to an…

Graph sparsification has been studied extensively over the past two decades, culminating in spectral sparsifiers of optimal size (up to constant factors). Spectral hypergraph sparsification is a natural analogue of this problem, for which…

We study the problem of sketching an input graph, so that given the sketch, one can estimate the weight of any cut in the graph within factor $1+\epsilon$. We present lower and upper bounds on the size of a randomized sketch, focusing on…

Let ccl(G) denote the order of the largest complete minor in a graph G (also called the contraction clique number) and let G(n,p) denote a random graph on n vertices with edge probability p. Bollobas, Catlin and Erdos asymptotically…

For any constants $d\ge 1$, $\epsilon >0$, $t>1$, and any $n$-point set $P\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, we show that there is a geometric graph $G=(P,E)$ having $O(n\log^2 n\log\log n)$ edges with the following property: For any $F\subseteq P$,…

In the classical Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph G(n,p) there are n vertices and each of the possible edges is independently present with probability p. The random graph G(n,p) is homogeneous in the sense that all vertices have the same…

Recently, we adapted random walk arguments based on work of Nachmias and Peres, Martin-L\"of, Karp and Aldous to give a simple proof of the asymptotic normality of the size of the giant component in the random graph $G(n,p)$ above the phase…

We bound the second eigenvalue of random $d$-regular graphs, for a wide range of degrees $d$, using a novel approach based on Fourier analysis. Let $G_{n, d}$ be a uniform random $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices, and let $\lambda (G_{n,…

This research establishes that many real-world networks exhibit bounded expansion, a strong notion of structural sparsity, and demonstrates that it can be leveraged to design efficient algorithms for network analysis. We analyze several…

Let $\R$ be the set of all finite graphs $G$ with the Ramsey property that every coloring of the edges of $G$ by two colors yields a monochromatic triangle. In this paper we establish a sharp threshold for random graphs with this property.…

Let $G_n$ be a random geometric graph, and then for $q,p \in [0,1)$ we construct a "$(q,p)$-perturbed noisy random geometric graph" $G_n^{q,p}$ where each existing edge in $G_n$ is removed with probability $q$, while and each non-existent…

In this paper we introduce a new notion of convergence of sparse graphs which we call Large Deviations or LD-convergence and which is based on the theory of large deviations. The notion is introduced by "decorating" the nodes of the graph…

We show that the size-Ramsey number of any cubic graph with $n$ vertices is $O(n^{8/5})$, improving a bound of $n^{5/3 + o(1)}$ due to Kohayakawa, R\"{o}dl, Schacht, and Szemer\'{e}di. The heart of the argument is to show that there is a…

We study an inhomogeneous sparse random graph on [N] = {1, . . . , N } as introduced in a seminal paper by Bollobas, Janson and Riordan (2007): vertices have a type (here in a compact metric space S), and edges between different vertices…

We describe the component sizes in critical independent p-bond percolation on a random d-regular graph on n vertices, where d \geq 3 is fixed and n grows. We prove mean-field behavior around the critical probability p_c=1/(d-1). In…

Tree-width has been proven to be a useful parameter to design fast and efficient algorithms for intractable problems. However, while tree-width is low on relatively sparse graphs can be arbitrary high on dense graphs. Therefore, we…
