Fix $n\in\mathbb{N}$. Let $\mathbf{T}_n$ be the set of rooted trees $(T,o)$ whose vertices are labeled by elements of $\{1,...,n\}$. Let $\nu$ be a strongly connected multi-type Galton-Watson measure. We give necessary and sufficient…
We work on a Galton--Watson tree with random weights, in the so-called "subdiffusive" regime. We study the rate of decay of the conductance between the root and the $n$-th level of the tree, as $n$ goes to infinity, by a mostly analytic…
We study two related probabilistic models of permutations and trees biased by their number of descents. Here, a descent in a permutation $\sigma$ is a pair of consecutive elements $\sigma(i), \sigma(i+1)$ such that $\sigma(i) >…
Recently increasing attention has been addressed to the fluctuations observed in percolation defined in single and multiplex networks. These fluctuations are extremely important to characterize the robustness of real finite networks but…
We calculate the distribution of the size of the percolating cluster on a tree in the subcritical, critical and supercritical phase. We do this by exploiting a mapping between continuum trees and Brownian excursions, and arrive at a…
We investigate percolation in the Boolean model with convex grains in high dimension. For each dimension d, one fixes a compact, convex and symmetric set K $\subset$ R d with non empty interior. In a first setting, the Boolean model is a…
We present a survey of techniques to obtain upper bounds for the variance of the passage time in first-passage percolation. The methods discussed are a combination of tools from the theory of concentration of measure, some of which we…
Motivated by an application in wireless telecommunication networks, we consider a two-type continuum-percolation problem involving a homogeneous Poisson point process of users and a stationary and ergodic point process of base stations.…
Consider a random walk in random environment on a supercritical Galton--Watson tree, and let $\tau_n$ be the hitting time of generation $n$. The paper presents a large deviation principle for $\tau_n/n$, both in quenched and annealed cases.…
We investigate the formation of an infinite cluster of entangled threads in a (2+1)-dimensional system. We demonstrate that topological percolation belongs to the universality class of the standard 2D bond percolation. We compute the…
In Poisson percolation each edge becomes open after an independent exponentially distributed time with rate that decreases in the distance from the origin. As a sequel to our work on the square lattice, we describe the limiting shape of the…
Consider independent bond percolation with retention probability p on a spherically symmetric tree Gamma. Write theta_Gamma(p) for the probability that the root is in an infinite open cluster, and define the critical value…
We prove asymptotic normality for the number of fringe subtrees isomorphic to any given tree in uniformly random trees with given vertex degrees. As applications, we also prove corresponding results for random labelled trees with given…
This paper deals with branching processes in varying environment, namely, whose offspring distributions depend on the generations. We provide sufficient conditions for survival or extinction which rely only on the first and second moments…
The hull-gradient method is used to determine the critical threshold for bond percolation on the two-dimensional Kagome lattice (and its dual, the dice lattice). For this system, the hull walk is represented as a self-avoiding trail, or…
We introduce a continuum percolation model defined on the points of a d-dimensional homogeneous Poisson process. Each Poisson point is connected to all points within its connection range, which depends on the distances to the other Poisson…
Given a Galton-Watson process conditioned to have total progeny equal to $n$, we study the asymptotic probability that this conditioned Galton-Watson process has distance to the border bigger or equal than $k$, as the number of nodes $n…
A little over 25 years ago Pemantle pioneered the study of the contact process on trees, and showed that on homogeneous trees the critical values $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ for global and local survival were different. He also considered…
We consider the asymptotics of various estimators based on a large sample of branching trees from a critical multi-type Galton-Watson process, as the sample size increases to infinity. The asymptotics of additive functions of trees, such as…
Many complex networks in nature have directed links, a property that affects the network's navigability and large-scale topology. Here we study the percolation properties of such directed scale-free networks with correlated in- and…
