We study the performance of sequential contention resolution and matching algorithms on random graphs with vanishing edge probabilities. When the edges of the graph are processed in an adversarially-chosen order, we derive a new OCRS that…
We study some percolation problems on the complete graph over $\mathbf N$. In particular, we give sharp sufficient conditions for the existence of (finite or infinite) cliques and paths in a random subgraph. No specific assumption on the…
We state and prove some counting formulas relating to cliques in the distant graphs of projective lines over finite rings. As a preliminary to this, we prove a decomposition theorem for the graphs in terms of the direct-product…
We give a short and completely elementary method to find the full spectrum of the exclusion process and a nicely limited superset of the spectrum of the interchange process (a.k.a.\ random transpositions) on the complete graph. In the case…
Consider the time T_oz when the random walk on a weighted graph started at the vertex o first hits the vertex set z. We present lower bounds for T_oz in terms of the volume of z and the graph distance between o and z. The bounds are for…
We derive a self-duality relation for a one-dimensional model of branching and annihilating random walkers with an even number of offsprings. With the duality relation and by deriving exact results in some limiting cases involving fast…
Computing maximum independent sets in graphs is an important problem in computer science. In this paper, we develop an evolutionary algorithm to tackle the problem. The core innovations of the algorithm are very natural combine operations…
Suppose a graph $G$ is stochastically created by uniformly sampling vertices along a line segment and connecting each pair of vertices with a probability that is a known decreasing function of their distance. We ask if it is possible to…
We analyze pattern formation on a network of cells where each cell inhibits its neighbors through cell-to-cell contact signaling. The network is modeled as an interconnection of identical dynamical subsystems each of which represents the…
We study deterministic constructions of graphs for which the unique completion of low rank matrices is generically possible regardless of the values of the entries. We relate the completability to the presence of some patterns (particular…
For a given homogeneous Poisson point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ two points are connected by an edge if their distance is bounded by a prescribed distance parameter. The behaviour of the resulting random graph, the Gilbert graph or random…
We study a family of interacting particle systems with annihilating and coalescing reactions. Two types of particles are interspersed throughout a transitive unimodular graph. Both types diffuse as simple random walks with possibly…
We consider Activated Random Walks on arbitrary finite networks, with particles being inserted at random and absorbed at the boundary. Despite the non-reversibility of the dynamics and the lack of knowledge on the stationary distribution,…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the number of paths of length $N$ on several classes of infinite graphs with a single special vertex. This vertex can work as an entropic trap for the path, i.e. under certain conditions the dominant part…
In this paper we review the asymptotic matching conjectures for $r$-regular bipartite graphs, and their connections in estimating the monomer-dimer entropies in $d$-dimensional integer lattice and Bethe lattices. We prove new rigorous upper…
The greedy algorithm for approximating dominating sets is a simple method that is known to compute an $(\ln n+1)$-approximation of a minimum dominating set on any graph with $n$ vertices. We show that a small modification of the greedy…
Irreversible adsorption of objects of different shapes and sizes on Euclidean, fractal and random lattices is studied. The adsorption process is modeled by using random sequential adsorption (RSA) algorithm. Objects are adsorbed on one-,…
Consider the following simple parking process on $\Lambda_n := \{-n, \ldots, n\}^d,d\ge1$: at each step, a site $i$ is chosen at random in $\Lambda_n$ and if $i$ and all its nearest neighbor sites are empty, $i$ is occupied. Once occupied,…
We investigate absorption, i.e., almost sure convergence to an absorbing state, in time-varying (non-homogeneous) discrete-time Markov chains with finite state space. We consider systems that can switch among a finite set of transition…
The localization game is a pursuit-evasion game analogous to Cops and Robbers, where the robber is invisible and the cops send distance probes in an attempt to identify the location of the robber. We present a novel graph parameter called…
