A significant generalization of the Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph model is an `inhomogeneous' random graph where the edge probabilities vary according to vertex types. We identify the threshold value for this random graph with a finite…

This paper deals with the problem of graph matching or network alignment for Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi graphs, which can be viewed as a noisy average-case version of the graph isomorphism problem. Let $G$ and $G'$ be $G(n, p)$ Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi…

We study the problem of robustly estimating the parameter $p$ of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph on $n$ nodes, where a $\gamma$ fraction of nodes may be adversarially corrupted. After showing the deficiencies of canonical estimators, we…

We give the first polynomial-time, differentially node-private, and robust algorithm for estimating the edge density of Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs and their generalization, inhomogeneous random graphs. We further prove…

In the evolving voter model, when an individual interacts with a neighbor having an opinion different from theirs, they will with probability $1-\alpha$ imitate the neighbor but with probability $ \alpha$ will sever the connection and…

We study monotone paths in Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs on numbered vertices. Benjamini & Tzalik established a phase transition at $p = \frac{\log n}{n}$ for this model. We refine the critical value to $p = \frac{\log n - \log \log n…

We consider the task of detecting a hidden bipartite subgraph in a given random graph. This is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem, under the null hypothesis, the graph is a realization of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph over $n$…

Emergence of dominating cliques in Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph model ${\bbbg(n,p)}$ is investigated in this paper. It is shown this phenomenon possesses a phase transition. Namely, we have argued that, given a constant probability $p$, an…

We consider a natural variant of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph process in which $k$ vertices are special and are never put into the same connected component. The model is natural and interesting on its own, but is actually inspired by…

The mincut graph bisection problem involves partitioning the n vertices of a graph into disjoint subsets, each containing exactly n/2 vertices, while minimizing the number of "cut" edges with an endpoint in each subset. When considered over…

In the Exact Matching problem, we are given a graph whose edges are colored red or blue and the task is to decide for a given integer k, if there is a perfect matching with exactly k red edges. Since 1987 it is known that the Exact Matching…

Majority dynamics on the binomial Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph $\mathsf{G}(n,p)$ with $p=\lambda/\sqrt{n}$ is studied. In this process, each vertex has a state in $\{0,1\}$ and at each round, every vertex adopts the state of the majority of its…
