Given a $k$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ and sufficiently large $m \gg m_0(\mathcal{H})$, we show that an $m$-element set $I \subseteq V(\mathcal{H})$, chosen uniformly at random, with probability $1 - e^{-\omega(m)}$ is either not…

The problem of detecting edge correlation between two Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs on $n$ unlabeled nodes can be formulated as a hypothesis testing problem: under the null hypothesis, the two graphs are sampled independently; under the…

We propose the following model of a random graph on n vertices. Let F be a distribution in R_+^{n(n-1)/2} with a coordinate for every pair i$ with 1 \le i,j \le n. Then G_{F,p} is the distribution on graphs with n vertices obtained by…

We develop a cluster expansion for the probability of full connectivity of high density random networks in confined geometries. In contrast to percolation phenomena at lower densities, boundary effects, which have previously been largely…

Let $G=G_{n,k}$ denote the graph formed by placing points in a square of area $n$ according to a Poisson process of density 1 and joining each pair of points which are both $k$ nearest neighbours of each other. Then $G_{n,k}$ can be used as…

Consider the geometric graph on $n$ independent uniform random points in a connected compact region $A$ of ${\bf R}^d, d \geq 2$, with $C^2$ boundary, or in the unit square, with distance parameter $r_n$. Let $K_n$ be the number of…

Let $E$ be a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We study the following questions: For i.i.d. samples $X_1, \dots, X_N$ drawn uniformly from $E$, what is the probability that $\cup_i \mathbf{B}(X_i, \delta)$, the union of $\delta$-balls…

In 1990 Bender, Canfield and McKay gave an asymptotic formula for the number of connected graphs on $[n]$ with $m$ edges, whenever $n$ and the nullity $m-n+1$ tend to infinity. Asymptotic formulae for the number of connected $r$-uniform…

An edge-coloured graph $G$ is called $properly$ $connected$ if every two vertices are connected by a proper path. The $proper$ $connection$ $number$ of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $pc(G)$, is the smallest number of colours that are…

In this paper, we study the entropy of a hard random geometric graph (RGG), a commonly used model for spatial networks, where the connectivity is governed by the distances between the nodes. Formally, given a connection range $r$, a hard…

For an interconnection network $G$, the {\it $\omega$-wide diameter} $d_\omega(G)$ is the least $\ell$ such that any two vertices are joined by $\omega$ internally-disjoint paths of length at most $\ell$, and the {\it $(\omega-1)$-fault…

We consider classes of pseudo-random graphs on $n$ vertices for which the degree of every vertex and the co-degree between every pair of vertices are in the intervals $(np - Cn^\delta,np+Cn^\delta)$ and $(np^2- C n^\delta, np^2 +C…

We study the component structure of the random graph $G=G_{n,m,d}$. Here $d=O(1)$ and $G$ is sampled uniformly from ${\mathcal G}_{n,m,d}$, the set of graphs with vertex set $[n]$, $m$ edges and maximum degree at most $d$. If $m=\mu n/2$…

We prove that the topological connectivity of a graph homomorphism complex Hom($G,K_m$) is at least $m-D(G)-2$, where $\displaystyle D(G)=\max_{H\subseteq G}\delta(H)$. This is a strong generalization of a theorem of Cuki\'{c} and Kozlov,…

We investigate the pairwise negative correlation (p-NC) property for uniform probability measures on several families of spanning subgraphs of the complete graph $K_n$. Motivated by conjectured negative dependence properties of the…

For $k\mid n$ let $Comb_{n,k}$ denote the tree consisting of an $(n/k)$-vertex path with disjoint $k$-vertex paths beginning at each of its vertices. An old conjecture says that for any $k=k(n)$ the threshold for the random graph $G(n,p)$…

Let $G$ be a graph and $T$ a certain connected subgraph of $G$. The $T$-structure connectivity $\kappa(G; T)$ (or resp., $T$-substructure connectivity $\kappa^{s}(G; T)$) of $G$ is the minimum number of a set of subgraphs…

We prove that if $(G_n)_{n\geq1}=((V_n,E_n))_{n\geq 1}$ is a sequence of finite, vertex-transitive graphs with bounded degrees and $|V_n|\to\infty$ that is at least $(1+\epsilon)$-dimensional for some $\epsilon>0$ in the sense that…

We consider a random geometric graph with vertices sampled from a probability measure supported on $\mathbb R^d$, and study its connectivity. We show the graph is typically disconnected, unless the sampling density has superexponential…
