We study limits of the largest connected components (viewed as metric spaces) obtained by critical percolation on uniformly chosen graphs and configuration models with heavy-tailed degrees. For rank-one inhomogeneous random graphs, such…

We consider the constrained-degree percolation (CDP) model on the hypercubic lattice. This is a continuous-time percolation model defined by a sequence $(U_e)_{e\in\mathcal{E}^d}$ of i.i.d. uniform random variables and a positive integer…

The $\sigma$-irregularity index of a graph is defined as the sum of squared degree differences over all edges and provides a sensitive measure of structural heterogeneity. In this paper, we study the problem of maximizing $\sigma(T)$ among…

We characterize the uniqueness condition in the hardcore model for bipartite graphs with degree bounds only on one side, and provide a nearly linear time sampling algorithm that works up to the uniqueness threshold. We show that the…

The existence or not of a percolation threshold on power law correlated graphs is a fundamental question for which a general criterion is lacking. In this work we investigate the problems of site and bond percolation on graphs with degree…

In this paper we study the maximum number of hyperedges which may be in an $r$-uniform hypergraph under the restriction that no pair of vertices has more than $t$ Berge paths of length $k$ between them. When $r=t=2$, this is the even-cycle…

Let $n, r, k$ be positive integers such that $3\leq k < n$ and $2\leq r \leq k-1$. Let $m(n, r, k)$ denote the maximum number of edges an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices can have under the condition that any collection of $i$ edges,…

Hyperbolic lattices interpolate between finite-dimensional lattices and Bethe lattices and are interesting in their own right with ordinary percolation exhibiting not one, but two, phase transitions. We study four constraint percolation…

Covering problems are classical computational problems concerning whether a certain combinatorial structure 'covers' another. For example, the minimum vertex covering problem aims to find the smallest set of vertices in a graph so that each…

In the Constrained-degree percolation model on a graph $(\mathbb{V},\mathbb{E})$ there are a sequence, $(U_e)_{e\in\mathbb{E}}$, of i.i.d. random variables with distribution $U[0,1]$ and a positive integer $k$. Each bond $e$ tries to open…

An $r$-cut of a $k$-uniform hypergraph is a partition of its vertex set into $r$ parts, and the size of the cut is the number of edges which have at least one vertex in each part. The study of the possible size of the largest $r$-cut in a…

We consider site (vertex) percolation on $d$-regular graphs, for both constant-degree and growing-degree cases. We give sufficient, and relatively tight, conditions for the emergence of the ``Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi component phenomenon" in the…

We give several algebraic bounds for percolation on directed and undirected graphs: proliferation of strongly-connected clusters, proliferation of in- and out-clusters, and the transition associated with the number of giant components.

In this paper, we study the problem of determining the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph that contains no $(k+1)$-connected subgraph. The graph case is a classical problem initiated by Mader, central to graph…

A matching in a graph is uniquely restricted if no other matching covers exactly the same set of vertices. We establish tight lower bounds on the maximum size of a uniquely restricted matching in terms of order, size, and maximum degree.
