In this paper we present a study of the mixing time of a random walk on the largest component of a supercritical random graph, also known as the giant component. We identify local obstructions that slow down the random walk, when the…

Let $G\sim G(n,p)$ be a (hidden) Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph with $p=(1+ \varepsilon)/n$ for some fixed constant $ \varepsilon >0$. Ferber, Krivelevich, Sudakov, and Vieira showed that to reveal a path of length…

Let $G$ be a graph in which each vertex initially has weight 1. In each step, the weight from a vertex $u$ can be moved to a neighbouring vertex $v$, provided that the weight on $v$ is at least as large as the weight on $u$. The total…

In this paper, we consider Bernoulli percolation on a locally finite, transitive and infinite graph (e.g. the hypercubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$). We prove the following estimate, where $\theta_n(p)$ is the probability that there is a path…

Long paths and cycles in sparse random graphs and digraphs were studied intensively in the 1980's. It was finally shown by Frieze in 1986 that the random graph $\cG(n,p)$ with $p=c/n$ has a cycle on at all but at most $(1+\epsilon)ce^{-c}n$…

Analytic solution for the average path length in a large class of random graphs is found. We apply the approach to classical random graphs of Erd\"{o}s and R\'{e}nyi (ER) and to scale-free networks of Barab\'{a}si and Albert (BA). In both…

Random directed graphs $D(n,p)$ undergo a phase transition around the point $p = 1/n$, and the width of the transition window has been known since the works of Luczak and Seierstad. They have established that as $n \to \infty$ when $p = (1…

In a seminal paper, Alon and Tarsi have introduced an algebraic technique for proving upper bounds on the choice number of graphs (and thus, in particular, upper bounds on their chromatic number). The upper bound on the choice number of $G$…

We introduce a very general model of an inhomogenous random graph with independence between the edges, which scales so that the number of edges is linear in the number of vertices. This scaling corresponds to the p=c/n scaling for G(n,p)…

Let $G$ be a $k$-connected graph with $k\geq 2$. In this paper we first prove that: For two distinct vertices $x$ and $z$ in $G$, it contains a path passing through its any $k-2$ {specified} vertices with length at least the average degree…

We study Aldous' conjecture that the spectral gap of the interchange process on a weighted undirected graph equals the spectral gap of the random walk on this graph. We present a conjecture in the form of an inequality, and prove that this…

Let $P$ be a set of $2n$ points in convex position, such that $n$ points are colored red and $n$ points are colored blue. A non-crossing alternating path on $P$ of length $\ell$ is a sequence $p_1, \dots, p_\ell$ of $\ell$ points from $P$…

To each edge (i,j), i<j of the complete directed graph on the integers we assign unit weight with probability p or weight x with probability 1-p, independently from edge to edge, and give to each path weight equal to the sum of its edge…

We provide a new proof of the sharpness of the phase transition for nearest-neighbour Bernoulli percolation. More precisely, we show that - for $p<p_c$, the probability that the origin is connected by an open path to distance $n$ decays…

Recently, we adapted random walk arguments based on work of Nachmias and Peres, Martin-L\"of, Karp and Aldous to give a simple proof of the asymptotic normality of the size of the giant component in the random graph $G(n,p)$ above the phase…

Consider the complete graph on \(n\) vertices where each edge is independently open with probability \(p,\) or closed otherwise. Phase transitions for such graphs for \(p = \frac{C}{n}\) have previously been studied using techniques like…

We study the weight and length of the minimum mean-weight cycle in the stochastic mean-field distance model, i.e., in the complete graph on $n$ vertices with edges weighted by independent exponential random variables. Mathieu and Wilson…

We introduce a notion of the \emph{crux} of a graph $G$, measuring the order of a smallest dense subgraph in $G$. This simple-looking notion leads to some generalisations of known results about cycles, offering an interesting paradigm of…

We prove the sharpness of the phase transition for speed in the biased random walk on the supercritical percolation cluster on Z^d. That is, for each d at least 2, and for any supercritical parameter p > p_c, we prove the existence of a…

We consider first passage percolation on sparse random graphs with prescribed degree distributions and general independent and identically distributed edge weights assumed to have a density. Assuming that the degree distribution satisfies a…
