For integers $l \geq 2$, $d \geq 1$ we study (undirected) graphs with vertices $1, ..., n$ such that the vertices can be partitioned into $l$ parts such that every vertex has at most $d$ neighbours in its own part. The set of all such…
We study an inhomogeneous sparse random graph on [N] = {1, . . . , N } as introduced in a seminal paper by Bollobas, Janson and Riordan (2007): vertices have a type (here in a compact metric space S), and edges between different vertices…
Let G=(V,E) be an undirected loopless graph with possible parallel edges and s and t be two vertices of G. Assume that vertex s is labelled at the initial time step and that every labelled vertex copies its labelling to neighbouring…
Since the paper of Kleinberg and Kleinberg, SODA'05, where it was proven that the preferential attachment random graph with degeneracy at least 3 does not obey the first order 0-1 law, no general methods were developed to study logical…
This paper gives lower bounds for the probability of consensus for two spatially explicit stochastic opinion models. Both processes are characterized by two finite connected graphs, that we call respectively the spatial graph and the…
We conjecture that the distribution of the edge-disjoint union of two random regular graphs on the same vertex set is asymptotically equivalent to a random regular graph of the combined degree, provided it grows as the number of vertices…
In 1935, Pauling proposed an estimate for the number of Eulerian orientations of a graph in the context of the theoretical behaviour of water ice. The logarithm of the number of Eulerian orientations, normalised by the number of vertices,…
We analyze the $L^1$-mixing of a generalization of the Averaging process introduced by Aldous. The process takes place on a growing sequence of graphs which we assume to be finite-dimensional, in the sense that the random walk on those…
This paper studies infinite graphs produced from a natural unfolding operation applied to finite graphs. Graphs produced via such operations are of finite degree and automatic over the unary alphabet (that is, they can be described by…
We offer an alternative proof, using the Stein-Chen method, of Bollob\'{a}s' theorem concerning the distribution of the extreme degrees of a random graph. Our proof also provides a rate of convergence of the extreme degree to its asymptotic…
Consider a finite inhomogeneous random graph running in continuous time, where each vertex has a mass, and the edge that links any pair of vertices appears with a rate equal to the product of their masses. The simultaneous…
In the concurrent graph sharing game, two players, called First and Second, share the vertices of a connected graph with positive vertex-weights summing up to $1$ as follows. The game begins with First taking any vertex. In each proceeding…
In this paper, we prove that every graph with average degree at least $s+t+2$ has a vertex partition into two parts, such that one part has average degree at least $s$, and the other part has average degree at least $t$. This solves a…
We study the evolution of opinions on a directed network with community structure. Individuals update their opinions synchronously based on a weighted average of their neighbors' opinions, their own previous opinions, and external media…
We consider first order expressible properties of random perfect graphs. That is, we pick a graph $G_n$ uniformly at random from all (labelled) perfect graphs on $n$ vertices and consider the probability that it satisfies some graph…
We consider the problem of achieving average consensus in the minimum number of linear iterations on a fixed, undirected graph. We are motivated by the task of deriving lower bounds for consensus protocols and by the so-called "definitive…
Assuming that a threshold Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is observed at discrete time instants, we propose generalized moment estimators to estimate the parameters. Our theoretical basis is the celebrated ergodic theorem. To use this theorem we…
In this paper we consider a simple model of random graph process with {\it hard} copying as follows: At each time step $t$, with probability $0<\alpha\leq 1$ a new vertex $v_t$ is added and $m$ edges incident with $v_t$ are added in the…
We characterize the bipartite graphs that minimize the (first-degree based) entropy, among all bipartite graphs of given size, or given size and (upper bound on the) order. The extremal graphs turn out to be complete bipartite graphs, or…
Condensation phenomenon is often observed in social networks such as Twitter where one "superstar" vertex gains a positive fraction of the edges, while the remaining empirical degree distribution still exhibits a power law tail. We…
