Let $P$ be a set of $n\geq 3$ points in general position in the plane. The edge disjointness graph $D(P)$ of $P$ is the graph whose vertices are all the closed straight line segments with endpoints in $P$, two of which are adjacent in…

Consider $n$ $d$-dimensional vectors with iid entries from a lattice distribution $X$. We show that the probability that all distances between them are equal is asymptotically \[ C_n\cdot\frac{1}{d^{(m-1)/2}} \quad \text{for} \quad d \to…

To what extent is it possible to visualize high-dimensional data in two- or three-dimensional plots? We reframe this question in terms of embedding $n$-vertex graphs (representing the neighborhood structure of the input points) into metric…

Let $(X_i)_{1 \le i \le n}$ be independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) standard Gaussian random variables, and denote by $X_{(n)} = \max_{1 \le i \le n} X_i$ the maximum order statistic. It is well-known in extreme value theory…

Many distributed learning techniques have been motivated by the increasing size of datasets and their inability to fit into main memory on a single machine. We propose an algorithm that finds the nearest neighbor in a graph locally without…

We bound the second eigenvalue of random $d$-regular graphs, for a wide range of degrees $d$, using a novel approach based on Fourier analysis. Let $G_{n, d}$ be a uniform random $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices, and let $\lambda (G_{n,…

A Shared Nearest Neighbor (SNN) graph is a type of graph construction using shared nearest neighbor information, which is a secondary similarity measure based on the rankings induced by a primary $k$-nearest neighbor ($k$-NN) measure. SNN…

Let $d$ be a fixed large integer. For any $n$ larger than $d$, let $A_n$ be the adjacency matrix of the random directed $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices, with the uniform distribution. We show that $A_n$ has rank at least $n-1$ with…

Fix $d \ge 3$. We show the existence of a constant $c>0$ such that any graph of diameter at most $d$ has average distance at most $d-c \frac{d^{3/2}}{\sqrt n}$, where $n$ is the number of vertices. Moreover, we exhibit graphs certifying…

We present ${\rm poly\log\log n}$-round randomized distributed algorithms to compute vertex splittings, a partition of the vertices of a graph into $k$ parts such that a node of degree $d(u)$ has $\approx d(u)/k$ neighbors in each part. Our…

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…

We consider a directed graph on the 2-dimensional integer lattice, placing a directed edge from vertex $(i_1,i_2)$ to $(j_1,j_2)$, whenever $i_1 \le j_1$, $i_2 \le j_2$, with probability $p$, independently for each such pair of vertices.…

Approximate nearest-neighbor search is a fundamental algorithmic problem that continues to inspire study due its essential role in numerous contexts. In contrast to most prior work, which has focused on point sets, we consider…

An $(n,d,\lambda)$-graph is a $d$ regular graph on $n$ vertices in which the absolute value of any nontrivial eigenvalue is at most $\lambda$. For any constant $d \geq 3$, $\epsilon>0$ and all sufficiently large $n$ we show that there is a…

Motivated by low energy consumption in geographic routing in wireless networks, there has been recent interest in determining bounds on the length of edges in the Delaunay graph of randomly distributed points. Asymptotic results are known…

A great challenge in the analysis of the discrepancy function D_N is to obtain universal lower bounds on the L-infty norm of D_N in dimensions d \geq 3. It follows from the average case bound of Klaus Roth that the L-infty norm of D_N is at…

We show that for an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graph on $N$ vertices with expected degree $d$ satisfying $\log^{-1/9}N\leq d\leq \log^{1/40}N$, the largest eigenvalues can be precisely determined by small neighborhoods around vertices of close to…
