We study the problem of estimating a vertex's PageRank within a constant relative error, with constant probability. We prove that an adaptive variant of the simple classic bidirectional algorithm is instance-optimal up to a polylogarithmic…
We consider a variant of so called power-law random graph. A sequence of expected degrees corresponds to a power-law degree distribution with finite mean and infinite variance. In previous works the asymptotic picture with number of nodes…
We study the mean length $\ell(k)$ of the shortest paths between a vertex of degree $k$ and other vertices in growing networks, where correlations are essential. In a number of deterministic scale-free networks we observe a power-law…

Leaves, i.e., vertices of degree one, can play a significant role in graph structure, especially in sparsely connected settings in which leaves often constitute the largest fraction of vertices. We consider a leaf-based counterpart of the…
Given an undirected graph $G=(V, E)$, the Personalized PageRank (PPR) of $t\in V$ with respect to $s\in V$, denoted $\pi(s,t)$, is the probability that an $\alpha$-discounted random walk starting at $s$ terminates at $t$. We study the time…
In this article, we explicitly derive the limiting degree distribution of the shortest path tree from a single source on various random network models with edge weights. We determine the asymptotics of the degree distribution for large…

Clustering is well-known to play a prominent role in the description and understanding of complex networks, and a large spectrum of tools and ideas have been introduced to this end. In particular, it has been recognized that the abundance…
It is widely believed that the Internet's AS-graph degree distribution obeys a power-law form. Most of the evidence showing the power-law distribution is based on BGP data. However, it was recently argued that since BGP collects data in a…
Power law distribution seems to be an important characteristic of web graphs. Several existing web graph models generate power law graphs by adding new vertices and non-uniform edge connectivities to existing graphs. Researchers have…
Empirical studies show that online social networks have not only in- and out-degree distributions with Pareto-like tails but also a high proportion of reciprocal edges. A classical directed preferential attachment (PA) model generates in-…
We introduce the notion of globally updating evolution for a class of weighted networks, in which the weight of a link is characterized by the amount of data packet transport flowing through it. By noting that the packet transport over the…
We study structural properties of trees grown by preferential attachment. In this mechanism, nodes are added sequentially and attached to existing nodes at a rate that is strictly proportional to the degree. We classify nodes by their depth…
Are biological networks different from other large complex networks? Both large biological and non-biological networks exhibit power-law graphs (number of nodes with degree k, N(k) ~ k-b) yet the exponents, b, fall into different ranges.…
