In this paper we investigate the regimes where an Erdos-Renyi random graph has torsion free eulerian magnitude homology groups. To this end, we start be introducing the eulerian Asao-Izumihara complex - a quotient CW-complex whose homology groups are isomorphic to direct summands of the graph eulerian magnitude homology group. We then proceed by producing a vanishing threshold for a shelling of eulerian Asao-Izumihara complex. This will lead to a result establishing the regimes where eulerian magnitude homology of Erdos-Renyi random graphs is torsion free.
We introduce a variant of the Erdös--Rényi random graph where the number of vertices is random and follows a Poisson law. A very simple Markov property of the model entails that the Lukasiewicz exploration is made of \textit{independent} Poisson increments. Using a vanilla Poisson counting process, this enables us to give very short proofs of classical results such as the phase transition for the giant component or the connectedness for the standard Erdös--Rényi model.
Let $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n \times n}$ be the adjacency matrix of an Erdős Rényi graph $G(n, d/n)$ for $d = ω(1)$ and $d \leq 3\log(n)$. We show that as $n$ goes to infinity, with probability that goes to $1$, the adjacency matrix of the $3$-core of $G(n, d/n)$ is invertible.
We bound the error for the normal approximation of the number of triangles in the Erdos-Renyi random graph with respect to the Kolmogorov metric. Our bounds match the best available Wasserstein-bounds obtained by Barbour, Karonski and Rucinski (1989), resolving a long-standing open problem. The proofs are based on a new variant of the Stein-Tikhomirov method - a combination of Stein's method and characteristic functions introduced by Tikhomirov (1980).
We analyse the eigenvalues of Erdös--Rényi random bipartite graphs. In particular, we consider $p$ satisfying $n_{1}p=Ω(\sqrt{n_{1}p}\log^{3}(n_{1})),$ $n_{2}p=Ω(\sqrt{n_{2}p}\log^{3}(n_{2})),$ and let $G\sim G(n_{1},n_{2},p)$. We show that with probability tending to $1$ as $n_{1}$ tends to infinity: $$μ_{2} (A(G))\leq 2[1+o(1)](\sqrt{n_{1}p}+\sqrt{n_{2}p}+\sqrt{(n_{1}+n_{2})p}).$$
In dense Erdős-Rényi random graphs, we are interested in the events where large numbers of a given subgraph occur. The mean behavior of subgraph counts is known, and only recently were the related large deviations results discovered. Consequently, it is natural to ask, can one develop efficient numerical schemes to estimate the probability of an Erdős-Rényi graph containing an excessively large number of a fixed given subgraph? Using the large deviation principle we study an importance sampling scheme as a method to numerically compute the small probabilities of large triangle counts occurring…
The main contribution of this article is an asymptotic expression for the rate associated with moderate deviations of subgraph counts in the Erdős-Rényi random graph $G(n,m)$. Our approach is based on applying Freedman's inequalities for the probability of deviations of martingales to a martingale representation of subgraph count deviations. In addition, we prove that subgraph count deviations of different subgraphs are all linked, via the deviations of two specific graphs, the path of length two and the triangle. We also deduce new bounds for the related $G(n,p)$ model.
What does an Erdos-Renyi graph look like when a rare event happens? This paper answers this question when p is fixed and n tends to infinity by establishing a large deviation principle under an appropriate topology. The formulation and proof of the main result uses the recent development of the theory of graph limits by Lovasz and coauthors and Szemeredi's regularity lemma from graph theory. As a basic application of the general principle, we work out large deviations for the number of triangles in G(n,p). Surprisingly, even this simple example yields an interesting double phase transition.
Starting with the large deviation principle (LDP) for the Erdős-Rényi binomial random graph $\mathcal{G}(n,p)$ (edge indicators are i.i.d.), due to Chatterjee and Varadhan (2011), we derive the LDP for the uniform random graph $\mathcal{G}(n,m)$ (the uniform distribution over graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges), at suitable $m=m_n$. Applying the latter LDP we find that tail decays for subgraph counts in $\mathcal{G}(n,m_n)$ are controlled by variational problems, which up to a constant shift, coincide with those studied by Kenyon et al. and Radin et al. in the context of constrained random…
Web crawlers are used by internet search engines to gather information about the web graph. In this paper we investigate a simple process which models such software by walking around the vertices of a graph. Once initial random vertex weights have been assigned, the robot crawler traverses the graph deterministically following a greedy algorithm, always visiting the neighbour of least weight and then updating this weight to be the highest overall. We consider the maximum, minimum and average number of steps taken by the crawler to visit every vertex of firstly, complete k-partite graphs and se…
We prove expectation and concentration results for the following random variables on an Erdős-Rényi random graph $\mathcal{G}\left(n,p\right)$ in the sparsely connected regime $\log n + \log\log \log n \leq np < n^{1/10}$: effective resistances, random walk hitting and commute times, the Kirchoff index, cover cost, random target times, the mean hitting time and Kemeny's constant. For the effective resistance between two vertices our concentration result extends further to $np\geq c\log n, \; c>0$. To achieve these results, we show that a strong connectedness property holds with high probabilit…
Using recent results on the concentration of the largest eigenvalue and maximal vertex degree of large random graphs, we show that the infinite sequence of Erd\H os-Rényi random graphs $G(n,ρ_n/n)$ such that $ρ_n/\log n$ infinitely increases as $n\to\infty$ verifies a version of the graph theory Riemann Hypothesis.
Affirming a conjecture of Erdős and Renyi we prove that for any (real number) c_1>0 for some c_2>0, if a graph G has no c_1(log n) nodes on which the graph is complete or edgeless (i.e. G exemplifies |G| not-> (c_1 log n)^2_2) then G has at least 2^{c_2n} non-isomorphic (induced) subgraphs.
We consider a natural variant of the Erdős-Rényi random graph process in which $k$ vertices are special and are never put into the same connected component. The model is natural and interesting on its own, but is actually inspired by the combinatorial data fusion problem that itself is connected to a number of important problems in graph theory. We will show that a phase transition occurs when the number of special vertices is roughly $n^{1/3}$, where $n$ is the number of vertices.
We consider the problem of counting $k$-cliques in $s$-uniform Erdos-Renyi hypergraphs $G(n,c,s)$ with edge density $c$, and show that its fine-grained average-case complexity can be based on its worst-case complexity. We prove the following: 1. Dense Erdos-Renyi graphs and hypergraphs: Counting $k$-cliques on $G(n,c,s)$ with $k$ and $c$ constant matches its worst-case time complexity up to a $\mathrm{polylog}(n)$ factor. Assuming randomized ETH, it takes $n^{Ω(k)}$ time to count $k$-cliques in $G(n,c,s)$ if $k$ and $c$ are constant. 2. Sparse Erdos-Renyi graphs and hypergraphs: When $c = Θ(n^…
A wide array of random graph models have been postulated to understand properties of observed networks. Typically these models have a parameter $t$ and a critical time $t_c$ when a giant component emerges. It is conjectured that for a large class of models, the nature of this emergence is similar to that of the Erdős-Rényi random graph, in the sense that (a) the sizes of the maximal components in the critical regime scale like $n^{2/3}$, and (b) the structure of the maximal components at criticality (rescaled by $n^{-1/3}$) converges to random fractals. To date, (a) has been proven for a numbe…
The Erdős-Rényi process begins with an empty graph on n vertices and edges are added randomly one at a time to a graph. A classical result of Erdős and Rényi states that the Erdős-Rényi process undergoes a phase transition, which takes place when the number of edges reaches n/2 (we say at time 1) and a giant component emerges. Since this seminal work of Erdős and Rényi, various random graph models have been introduced and studied. In this paper we study the so-called Bohman-Frieze process, a simple modification of the Erdős-Rényi process. The Bohman-Frieze process begins with an empty graph on…
Let $N_{\triangle}(G)$ be the number of triangles in a graph $G$. In [14] and [25] (respectively) the following bounds were proved on the lower tail behaviour of triangle counts in the dense Erdős-Rényi random graphs $G_m\sim G(n,m)$: \[ \mathbb{P}\big(N_{\triangle}(G_m) \, < \, (1-δ)\mathbb{E}[N_{\triangle}(G_m)]\big) \,=\, \exp\left(-Θ\left(δ^2n^3\right)\right) \qquad \text{if $n^{-3/2}\ll δ\ll n^{-1}$} \] and \[ \mathbb{P}\big(N_{\triangle}(G_m) \, < \, (1-δ)\mathbb{E}[N_{\triangle}(G_m)]\big) \,=\, \exp\left(-Θ(δ^{2/3}n^2) \right) \qquad \text{if $n^{-3/4} \ll δ\ll 1$.} \] Neeman, Radin an…
In this work we perform computational and analytical studies of the Randić index $R(G)$ in Erdös-Rényi models $G(n,p)$ characterized by $n$ vertices connected independently with probability $p \in (0,1)$. First, from a detailed scaling analysis, we show that $\left\langle \overline{R}(G) \right\rangle = \left\langle R(G)\right\rangle/(n/2)$ scales with the product $ξ\approx np$, so we can define three regimes: a regime of mostly isolated vertices when $ξ< 0.01$ ($R(G)\approx 0$), a transition regime for $0.01 < ξ< 10$ (where $0<R(G)< n/2$), and a regime of almost complete graphs for $ξ> 10$ ($…
Given a symmetric $n\times n$ matrix $P$ with $0 \le P(u, v)\le 1$, we define a random graph $G_{n, P}$ on $[n]$ by independently including any edge $\{u, v\}$ with probability $P(u, v)$. For $k\ge 1$ let $\mathcal{A}_k$ be the property of containing $\lfloor k/2 \rfloor$ Hamilton cycles, and one perfect matching if $k$ is odd, all edge-disjoint. With an eigenvalue condition on $P$, and conditions on its row sums, $G_{n, P}\in \mathcal{A}_k$ happens with high probability if and only if $G_{n, P}$ has minimum degree $k$ whp. We also provide a hitting time version. As a special case, the random …
For a given graph $G$, each partition of the vertices has a modularity score, with higher values indicating that the partition better captures community structure in $G$. The modularity $q^*(G)$ of the graph $G$ is defined to be the maximum over all vertex partitions of the modularity score, and satisfies $0\leq q^*(G) < 1$. Modularity is at the heart of the most popular algorithms for community detection. We investigate the behaviour of the modularity of the Erdős-Rényi random graph $G_{n,p}$ with $n$ vertices and edge-probability $p$. Two key findings are that the modularity is $1+o(1)$ with…
Erd\H os and Rényi claimed and Vu proved that for all $h \ge 2$ and for all $ε> 0$, there exists $g = g_h(ε)$ and a sequence of integers $A$ such that the number of ordered representations of any number as a sum of $h$ elements of $A$ is bounded by $g$, and such that $|A \cap [1,x]| \gg x^{1/h - ε}$. We give two new proofs of this result. The first one consists of an explicit construction of such a sequence. The second one is probabilistic and shows the existence of such a $g$ that satisfies $g_h(ε) \ll ε^{-1}$, improving the bound $g_h(ε) \ll ε^{-h+1}$ obtained by Vu. Finally we use the "alte…
