Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a set of straight-line segments in the plane, potentially crossing, and let $c$ be a positive integer. We denote by $P$ the union of the endpoints of the straight-line segments of $\mathcal{D}$ and of the intersection…

Let $X_1,X_2, \ldots $ be independent random uniform points in a bounded domain $A \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ with smooth boundary. Define the coverage threshold $R_n$ to be the smallest $r$ such that $A$ is covered by the balls of radius $r$…

A graph is called $d$-rigid if there exists a generic embedding of its vertex set into $\mathbb{R}^d$ such that every continuous motion of the vertices that preserves the lengths of all edges actually preserves the distances between all…

We study a maximization problem for geometric network design. Given a set of $n$ compact neighborhoods in $\mathbb{R}^d$, select a point in each neighborhood, so that the longest spanning tree on these points (as vertices) has maximum…

Xue and Kumar have established that the number of neighbors required for connectivity of wireless networks with N uniformly distributed nodes must grow as log(N), and they also established that the actual number required lies between…

Let $D$ be a strongly connected digraph. The average distance $\bar{\sigma}(v)$ of a vertex $v$ of $D$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $D$. The remoteness $\rho(D)$ and proximity $\pi(D)$ of $D$ are…

We consider the (unoriented) long-range percolation on Z^d in dimensions d\ge1, where distinct sites x,y\in Z^d get connected with probability p_{xy}\in[0,1]. Assuming p_{xy}=|x-y|^{-s+o(1)} as |x-y|\to\infty, where s>0 and |\cdot| is a…

In this paper, we study some important statistics of the random graph in the directed preferential attachment model introduced by B. Bollob\'as, C. Borgs, J. Chayes and O. Riordan. First, we find a new asymptotic formula for the expectation…

Let $G$ be a simple connected graph of order $n$ and $D(G)$ be the distance matrix of $G.$ Suppose that $\lambda_{1}(D(G))\geq\lambda_{2}(D(G))\geq\cdots\geq\lambda_{n}(D(G))$ are the distance spectrum of $G$. A graph $G$ is said to be…

In this article, we analyze the limiting eigenvalue distribution (LED) of random geometric graphs (RGGs). The RGG is constructed by uniformly distributing $n$ nodes on the $d$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^d \equiv [0, 1]^d$ and connecting…

In this note we prove that the maximum length of a $d$-dimensional circuit code of spread $k$ equals $2^{d+O_k(\log^2d)}$, with the implied constant depending only on $k$.

Let $P_n^1,\dots, P_n^d$ be $n\times n$ permutation matrices drawn independently and uniformly at random, and set $S_n^d:=\sum_{\ell=1}^d P_n^\ell$. We show that if $\log^{12}n/(\log \log n)^{4} \le d=O(n)$, then the empirical spectral…

We present a new approach to showing that random graphs are nearly optimal expanders. This approach is based on recent deep results in combinatorial group theory. It applies to both regular and irregular random graphs. Let G be a random…

Jord\'an and Tanigawa recently introduced the $d$-dimensional algebraic connectivity $a_d(G)$ of a graph $G$. This is a quantitative measure of the $d$-dimensional rigidity of $G$ which generalizes the well-studied notion of spectral…

We consider the spectral gap of a uniformly chosen random $(d_1,d_2)$-biregular bipartite graph $G$ with $|V_1|=n, |V_2|=m$, where $d_1,d_2$ could possibly grow with $n$ and $m$. Let $A$ be the adjacency matrix of $G$. Under the assumption…

The main goal of this note is to illustrate the advantage of analyzing the non-backtracking spectrum of a regular graph rather than the ordinary spectrum. We show that by switching to non-backtracking spectrum, the method of proof used in…

Let X_{d,n} be an n-element subset of {0,1}^d chosen uniformly at random, and denote by P_{d,n} := conv X_{d,n} its convex hull. Let D_{d,n} be the density of the graph of P_{d,n} (i.e., the number of one-dimensional faces of P_{d,n}…

Many authors have studied the phenomenon of typically Gaussian marginals of high-dimensional random vectors; e.g., for a probability measure on $\R^d$, under mild conditions, most one-dimensional marginals are approximately Gaussian if $d$…
