Complex systems, ranging from soft materials to wireless communication, are often organised as random geometric networks in which nodes and edges evenly fill up the volume of some space. Studying such networks is difficult because they…
In this thesis, which is supervised by Dr. David Penman, we examine random interval graphs. Recall that such a graph is defined by letting $X_{1},\ldots X_{n},Y_{1},\ldots Y_{n}$ be $2n$ independent random variables, with uniform…
An $(\alpha,\beta)$-ruling set of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a set $R\subseteq V$ such that for any node $v\in V$ there is a node $u\in R$ in distance at most $\beta$ from $v$ and such that any two nodes in $R$ are at distance at least $\alpha$…
In the well-known Minimum Linear Arrangement problem (MinLA), the goal is to arrange the nodes of an undirected graph into a permutation so that the total stretch of the edges is minimized. This paper studies an online (learning) variant of…
Selecting N random points in a unit square corresponds to selecting a random permutation. By putting 5 types of symmetry restrictions on the points, we obtain subsets of permutations : involutions, signed permutations and signed…
Real-world road networks have an approximate scale-invariance property; can one devise mathematical models of random networks whose distributions are {\em exactly} invariant under Euclidean scaling? This requires working in the continuum…
We consider the length of {\em ordered loose paths} in the random $r$-uniform hypergraph $H=H^{(r)}(n, p)$. A ordered loose path is a sequence of edges $E_1,E_2,\ldots,E_\ell$ where $\max\{j\in E_i\}=\min\{j\in E_{i+1}\}$ for $1\leq…
Denote by $A_n$ the set of square $(0,1)$ matrices of order $n$. The set $A_n$, $n\le8$, is partitioned into row/column permutation equivalence classes enabling derivation of various facts by simple counting. For example, the number of…
The random ordered graph is the up to isomorphism unique countable homogeneous linearly ordered graph that embeds all finite linearly ordered graphs. We determine the reducts of the random ordered graph up to first-order interdefinability.
We present two results related to an edge-isoperimetric question for Cayley graphs on the integer lattice asked by Ben Barber and Joshua Erde [Isoperimetry of Integer Lattices, Discrete Analysis 7 (2018)]. For any (undirected) graph $G$,…
The limiting distribution of the normalized number of comparisons used by Quicksort to sort an array of n numbers is known to be the unique fixed point with zero mean of a certain distributional transformation S. We study the convergence to…
One model of message delivery in a computer network is based on labelling each edge by a subset of a (reasonably small) universal set, and then encoding a path as the union of the labels of its edges. Earlier work suggested using random…
In the new field of financial systemic risk, the network of interbank counterparty relationships can be described as a directed random graph. In "cascade models" of systemic risk, this "skeleton" acts as the medium through which financial…
Random geometric networks consist of 1) a set of nodes embedded randomly in a bounded domain $\mathcal{V} \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ and 2) links formed probabilistically according to a function of mutual Euclidean separation. We quantify how…
We show that in any graph, the average length of a flow path in an electrical flow between the endpoints of a random edge is $O(\log^2 n)$. This is a consequence of a more general result which shows that the spectral norm of the entrywise…
This paper investigates the asymptotic nature of graph spectra when some edges of a graph are subdivided sufficiently many times. In the special case where all edges of a graph are subdivided, we find the exact limits of the $k$-th largest…
The size-Ramsey number $R^{(k)}(H)$ of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $H$ is the minimum number of edges in a $k$-uniform hypergraph $G$ with the property that every `$2$-edge coloring' of $G$ contains a monochromatic copy of $H$. For $k\ge2$ and…
Given a network infrastructure (e.g., data-center or on-chip-network) and a distribution on the source-destination requests, the expected path (route) length is an important measure for the performance, efficiency and power consumption of…
The vertex isoperimetric number of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the minimum of the ratio $|\partial_{V}U|/|U|$ where $U$ ranges over all nonempty subsets of $V$ with $|U|/|V|\le u$ and $\partial_{V}U$ is the set of all vertices adjacent to $U$ but…
The randomly oriented graph $G_{n,p}^{\sigma}$ is an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G_{n,p}$ with a random orientation $\sigma$, which assigns to each edge a direction so that $G_{n,p}^{\sigma}$ becomes a directed graph. Denote by $S_n$…
