In this paper, we derive nonasymptotic theoretical bounds for the influence in random graphs that depend on the spectral radius of a particular matrix, called the Hazard matrix. We also show that these results are generic and valid for a…
Given a set $P$ of $n$ points that are moving in the plane, we consider the problem of computing a spanning tree for these moving points that does not change its combinatorial structure during the point movement. The objective is to…
We investigate the distributions of subtrees connecting several vertices in \kappa-biased spanning forests of the complete graph K_N and their asymptotics and identify a phase transition at \kappa=O(\sqrt N)
We present the first sublinear-in-$n$ round algorithm for sampling an approximately uniform spanning tree of an $n$-vertex graph in the CongestedClique model of distributed computing. In particular, our algorithm requires…
Constructing a spanning tree of a graph is one of the most basic tasks in graph theory. We consider this problem in the setting of local algorithms: one wants to quickly determine whether a given edge $e$ is in a specific spanning tree,…
Quite often real-world networks can be thought of as being symmetric, in the abstract sense that vertices can be found to have similar or equivalent structural roles. However, traditional measures of symmetry in graphs are based on their…
We design fast algorithms for repeatedly sampling from strongly Rayleigh distributions, which include random spanning tree distributions and determinantal point processes. For a graph $G=(V, E)$, we show how to approximately sample…
Consider a cellular automaton with state space $\{0,1 \}^{{\mathbb Z}^2}$ where the initial configuration $\omega_0$ is chosen according to a Bernoulli product measure, 1's are stable, and 0's become 1's if they are surrounded by at least…
Motivated by the celebrated Beck-Fiala conjecture, we consider the random setting where there are $n$ elements and $m$ sets and each element lies in $t$ randomly chosen sets. In this setting, Ezra and Lovett showed an $O((t \log t)^{1/2})$…
We study the behavior of Random Walk in Random Environment (RWRE) on trees in the critical case left open in previous work. Representing the random walk by an electrical network, we assume that the ratios of resistances of neighboring edges…
Large real-world networks are typically scale-free. Recent research has shown that such graphs are described best in a geometric space. More precisely, the internet can be mapped to a hyperbolic space such that geometric greedy routing…
A maximal repetition, or run, in a string, is a maximal periodic substring whose smallest period is at most half the length of the substring. In this paper, we consider runs that correspond to a path on a trie, or in other words, on a…
It is well known that the distribution of simple random walks on $\bf{Z}$ conditioned on returning to the origin after $2n$ steps does not depend on $p= P(S_1 = 1)$, the probability of moving to the right. Moreover, conditioned on…
The (maximum receiver-centric) interference of a geometric graph (von Rickenbach etal (2005)) is studied. It is shown that, with high probability, the following results hold for a set, V, of n points independently and uniformly distributed…
In 1986, Janson showed that the number of edges in the union of $k$ random spanning trees in the complete graph $K_n$ is a shifted Poisson distribution. Using results from the theory of electrical networks, we provide a new proof of this…
Fix a bounded $3$-polygon $(\Omega; x_1, x_2, x_3)$ with three marked boundary points $x_1, x_2, x_3\in\partial\Omega$ and suppose $(\Omega^{\delta}; x_1^{\delta}, x_2^{\delta}, x_3^{\delta})$ is an approximation of $(\Omega; x_1, x_2,…
A fundamental question in random matrix theory is to quantify the optimal rate of convergence to universal laws. We take up this problem for the Laguerre $\beta$ ensemble, characterised by the Dyson parameter $\beta$, and the Laguerre…
In this paper, we consider the minimum spanning tree problem (for short, MSTP) on an arbitrary set of $n$ points of $d$-dimensional space in $l_1$-norm. For this problem, for each fixed $d\geq 2$, there is a known algorithm of the…
Motivated by online recommendation systems, we study a family of random forests. The vertices of the forest are labeled by integers. Each non-positive integer $i\le 0$ is the root of a tree. Vertices labeled by positive integers $n \ge 1$…
We show that any one-round algorithm that computes a minimum spanning tree (MST) in the unicast congested clique must use a link bandwidth of $\Omega(\log^3 n)$ bits in the worst case. Consequently, computing an MST under the standard…
