Small-world networks provide an interesting framework for studying the interplay between regular and random graphs, where links are located in a regular and random way, respectively. On one hand, the random links make the model to obey some…
Given a connected graph $G$ with some subset of its vertices excited and a fixed target vertex, in the geodesic-biased random walk on $G$, a random walker moves as follows: from an unexcited vertex, she moves to a uniformly random…
Random $s$-intersection graphs have recently received much interest in a wide range of application areas. Broadly speaking, a random $s$-intersection graph is constructed by first assigning each vertex a set of items in some random manner,…
We revisit an old minor topic in algorithms, the deterministic walk on a finite graph which always moves toward the nearest unvisited vertex until every vertex is visited. There is an elementary connection between this cover time and…
The connectivity structure of graphs is typically related to the attributes of the nodes. In social networks for example, the probability of a friendship between two people depends on their attributes, such as their age, address, and…
Evolution algebras are a new type of non-associative algebras which are inspired from biological phenomena. A special class of such algebras, called Markov evolution algebras, is strongly related to the theory of discrete time Markov…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices and let $\mu_0$ be a probability measure on $V$. The act of moving to a randomly chosen neighbor leads to a sequence of probability measures supported on $V$ given by $\mu_{k+1} = A…
Community structures have been identified in various complex real-world networks, for example, communication, information, internet and shareholder networks. The scaling of community size distribution indicates the heterogeneity in the…
Let the class A of graphs be bridge-addable; that is, whenever a graph G in A has vertices u and v in different components then the graph G+uv is in A. For a random graph sampled uniformly from the graphs in A on vertex set {1,..,n}, there…
Complex networks has been a hot topic of research over the past several years over crossing many disciplines, starting from mathematics and computer science and ending by the social and biological sciences. Random graphs were studied to…
Analyzing the mixing time of random walks is a well-studied problem with applications in random sampling and more recently in graph partitioning. In this work, we present new analysis of random walks and evolving sets using more…
The k-nearest neighbors (kNN) algorithm is a cornerstone of non-parametric classification in artificial intelligence, yet its deployment in large-scale applications is persistently constrained by the computational trade-off between…
Random K-out graphs are used in several applications including modeling by sensor networks secured by the random pairwise key predistribution scheme, and payment channel networks. The random K-out graph with $n$ nodes is constructed as…
Dynamic graphs have emerged as an appropriate model to capture the changing nature of many modern networks, such as peer-to-peer overlays and mobile ad hoc networks. Most of the recent research on dynamic networks has only addressed the…
We establish and generalise several bounds for various random walk quantities including the mixing time and the maximum hitting time. Unlike previous analyses, our derivations are based on rather intuitive notions of local expansion…
We prove logarithmic upper bounds for the diameters of the random-surfer Webgraph model and the PageRank-based selection Webgraph model, confirming the small world phenomenon holds for them. In the special case when the generated graph is a…
Random intersection graphs model networks with communities, assuming an underlying bipartite structure of groups and individuals, where these groups may overlap. Group memberships are generated through the bipartite configuration model.…
Random intersection graphs containing an underlying community structure are a popular choice for modelling real-world networks. Given the group memberships, the classical random intersection graph is obtained by connecting individuals when…
