We analyze a minimal model of a growing network. At each time step, a new vertex is added; then, with probability delta, two vertices are chosen uniformly at random and joined by an undirected edge. This process is repeated for t time…
We consider a constrained version of the shortest path problem on the complete graphs whose edges have independent random lengths and costs. We establish the asymptotic value of the minimum length as a function of the cost-budget within a…
We study random graphs with arbitrary distributions of expected degree and derive expressions for the spectra of their adjacency and modularity matrices. We give a complete prescription for calculating the spectra that is exact in the limit…
We consider the typical distance between vertices of the giant component of a random intersection graph having a power law (asymptotic) vertex degree distribution with infinite second moment. Given two vertices from the giant component we…
The traditional complex network approach considers only the shortest paths from one node to another, not taking into account several other possible paths. This limitation is significant, for example, in urban mobility studies. In this short…
The average distance of a vertex $v$ of a connected graph $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$. The proximity $\pi(G)$ and the remoteness $\rho(G)$ of $G$ are the minimum and the maximum of the…
A fundamental problem in network science is the normalization of the topological or physical distance between vertices, that requires understanding the range of variation of the unnormalized distances. Here we investigate the limits of the…
Let $G$ be a finite, simple connected graph. The average distance of a vertex $v$ of $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$. The remoteness $\rho(G)$ of $G$ is the maximum of the average distances…
In large networks, using the length of shortest paths as the distance measure has shortcomings. A well-studied shortcoming is that extending it to disconnected graphs and directed graphs is controversial. The second shortcoming is that a…
Many networks are characterized by highly heterogeneous distributions of links, which are called scale-free networks and the degree distributions follow $p(k)\sim ck^{-\alpha}$. We study the robustness of scale-free networks to random…
Recently, In [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 018701 (2010)] the authors studied a spatial network which is constructed from a regular lattice by adding long-range edges (shortcuts) with probability $P_{ij}\sim r_{ij}^{-\alpha}$, where $r_{ij}$ is…
We study spatial embeddings of random graphs in which nodes are randomly distributed in geographical space. We let the edge probability between any two nodes to be dependent on the spatial distance between them and demonstrate that this…
Consider the complete n-vertex graph whose edge-lengths are independent exponentially distributed random variables. Simultaneously for each pair of vertices, put a constant flow between them along the shortest path. Each edge gets some…
In this paper we study a random graph with $N$ nodes, where node $j$ has degree $D_j$ and $\{D_j\}_{j=1}^N$ are i.i.d. with $\prob(D_j\leq x)=F(x)$. We assume that $1-F(x)\leq c x^{-\tau+1}$ for some $\tau>3$ and some constant $c>0$. This…
We delve into the statistical properties of regions within complex networks that are distant from vertices with high centralities, such as hubs or highly connected clusters. These remote regions play a pivotal role in shaping the asymptotic…
Generalised degrees provide a natural bridge between local and global topological properties of networks. We define the generalised degree to be the number of neighbours of a node within one and two steps respectively. Tailored random graph…
This article discusses random hypergraphs with varying hyperedge sizes, admitting large hyperedges with size tending to infinity, and heavy-tailed limiting hyperedge size distributions. The main result describes a threshold for the random…
In this thesis, which is supervised by Dr. David Penman, we examine random interval graphs. Recall that such a graph is defined by letting $X_{1},\ldots X_{n},Y_{1},\ldots Y_{n}$ be $2n$ independent random variables, with uniform…
Random geometric graphs (RGGs) are commonly used to model networked systems that depend on the underlying spatial embedding. We concern ourselves with the probability distribution of an RGG, which is crucial for studying its random…
Mapping the Internet generally consists in sampling the network from a limited set of sources by using "traceroute"-like probes. This methodology, akin to the merging of different spanning trees to a set of destinations, has been argued to…
