In this paper, we asymptotically enumerate graphs with a given degree sequence d=(d_1,...,d_n) satisfying restrictions designed to permit heavy-tailed sequences in the sparse case (i.e. where the average degree is rather small). Our general…

In the framework of statistical mechanics the properties of macroscopic systems are deduced starting from the laws of their microscopic dynamics. One of the key assumptions in this procedure is the ergodic property, namely the equivalence…

We discuss the Pointwise Ergodic Theorem for the Gaussian divisor function $d(n)$, that is, for a measure preserving $\mathbb Z[i]$ action $T$, the limit $$\lim_{N\rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{D(N)} \sum _{\mathscr{N} (n) \leq N} d(n)…

Mader first proved that high average degree forces a given graph as a minor. Often motivated by Hadwiger's Conjecture, much research has focused on the average degree required to force a complete graph as a minor. Subsequently, various…

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the degree index and clustering index in random graphs. The degree index in our setup is a certain measure of degree irregularity whose basic properties are well studied in the literature, and the…

In unconstrained optimisation on an Euclidean space, to prove convergence in Gradient Descent processes (GD) $x_{n+1}=x_n-\delta _n \nabla f(x_n)$ it usually is required that the learning rates $\delta _n$'s are bounded: $\delta _n\leq…
