We discuss a graph-based approach for testing spatial point patterns. This approach falls under the category of data-random graphs, which have been introduced and used for statistical pattern recognition in recent years. Our goal is to test…
The model of random interlacements on Z^d, d bigger or equal to 3, was recently introduced in arXiv:0704.2560. A non-negative parameter u parametrizes the density of random interlacements on Z^d. In the present note we investigate the…
We consider random graphs with uniformly bounded edges on a Poisson point process conditioned to contain the origin. In particular we focus on the random connection model, the Boolean model and Miller-Abrahams random resistor network with…
Sphere packings in high dimensions interest mathematicians and physicists and have direct applications in communications theory. Remarkably, no one has been able to provide exponential improvement on a 100-year-old lower bound on the…
We study the giant component problem slightly above the critical regime for percolation on Poissonian random graphs in the scale-free regime, where the vertex weights and degrees have a diverging second moment. Critical percolation on…
We study long-range Bernoulli percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ in which each two vertices $x$ and $y$ are connected by an edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta \|x-y\|^{-d-\alpha})$. It is a theorem of Noam Berger (CMP, 2002) that if…
We study the problem of community detection (CD) on Euclidean random geometric graphs where each vertex has two latent variables: a binary community label and a $\mathbb{R}^d$ valued location label which forms the support of a Poisson point…
We study an asymptotic expansion of the critical point for the nearest-neighbor oriented percolation on $\mathbb Z^d$ in powers of $d^{-1}$ as $d\rightarrow \infty$. The proof relies heavily on the lace expansion.
In long-range percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, points $x$ and $y$ are connected by an edge with probability $1-\exp(-\beta\|x-y\|^{-d-\alpha})$, where $\alpha>0$ is fixed and $\beta \geq 0$ is a parameter. As $d$ and $\alpha$ vary, the model…
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…
Methods for determining the percolation threshold usually study the behavior of network ensembles and are often restricted to a particular type of probabilistic node/link removal strategy. We propose a network-specific method to determine…
Static wireless networks are by now quite well understood mathematically through the random geometric graph model. By contrast, there are relatively few rigorous results on the practically important case of mobile networks, in which the…
Random Threshold Networks with sparse, asymmetric connections show complex dynamical behavior similar to Random Boolean Networks, with a transition from ordered to chaotic dynamics at a critical average connectivity $K_c$. In this type of…
We present new values and bounds on the (normalised) closeness centrality $\bar{\mathsf{C}}_C$ of connected graphs and on its product $\bar{l}\bar{\mathsf{C}}_C$ with the mean distance $\bar{l}$ of these graphs. Our main result presents the…
The formation of sintering bridges in amorphous powders affects both flow behavior and perceived material quality. When sintering is driven by surface tension, bridges emerge sequentially, favoring contacts between smaller particles first.…
For critical bond-percolation on high-dimensional torus, this paper proves sharp lower bounds on the size of the largest cluster, removing a logarithmic correction in the lower bound in Heydenreich and van der Hofstad (2007). This…
We study the transport properties of directed percolation clusters at the upper critical dimension $d_{c} = 4+1$, where critical fluctuations induce logarithmic corrections to the leading (mean-field) scaling behavior. Employing field…
We consider the Bernoulli bond percolation process (with parameter $p$) on infinite graphs and we give a general criterion for bounded degree graphs to exhibit a non-trivial percolation threshold based either on a single isoperimetric…
The random Lorentz gas (RLG) is a minimal model for transport in disordered media. Despite the broad relevance of the model, theoretical grasp over its properties remains weak. For instance, the scaling with dimension d of its localization…
We give nearly optimal bounds on the sample complexity of $(\widetilde{\Omega}(\epsilon),\epsilon)$-tolerant testing the $\rho$-independent set property in the dense graph setting. In particular, we give an algorithm that inspects a random…
