We study the spectral properties of the Laplacian matrices and the normalized Laplacian matrices of the Erdös–Rényi random graph G(n, pn) for large n. Although the graph is simple, we discover some interesting behaviors of the two Laplacian matrices. In fact, under the dilute case, that is, pn ∈ (0, 1) and npn → ∞, we prove that the empirical distribution of the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix converges to a deterministic distribution, which is the free convolution of the semi-circle law and N(0, 1). However, for its normalized version, we prove that the empirical distribution converges to the semi-circle law.

This paper considers inhomogeneous Erdős–Rényi random graphs [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] vertices in the non-sparse non-dense regime. The edge between the pair of vertices [Formula: see text] is retained with probability [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], independently of other edges, where [Formula: see text] is a continuous function such that [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. We study the empirical distribution of both the adjacency matrix [Formula: see text] and the Laplacian matrix [Formula: see text] associated with [Formula: see text], in the limit as [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In particular, we show that the empirical spectral distributions of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], after appropriate scaling and centering, converge to deterministic limits weakly in probability. For the special case where [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] a continuous function, we give an explicit characterization of the limiting distributions. Furthermore, we apply our results to constrained random graphs, Chung–Lu random graphs and social networks.

In this paper, we consider the spectrum of a Laplacian matrix, also known as Markov matrices where the entries of the matrix are independent but have a variance profile. Motivated by recent works on generalized Wigner matrices we assume that the variance profile gives rise to a sequence of graphons. Under the assumption that these graphons converge, we show that the limiting spectral distribution converges. We give an expression for the moments of the limiting measure in terms of graph homomorphisms. In some special cases, we identify the limit explicitly. We also study the spectral norm and derive the order of the maximum eigenvalue. We show that our results cover Laplacians of various random graphs including inhomogeneous Erdős–Rényi random graphs, sparse W-random graphs, stochastic block matrices and constrained random graphs.

An introduction to the mathematics of the Poisson random graph, the simplest model of a random network. The chapter starts with a definition of the model, followed by derivations of basic properties like the mean degree, degree distribution, and clustering coefficient. This is followed with a detailed derivation of the large-scale structural properties of random graphs, including the position of the phase transition at which a giant component appears, the size of the giant component, the average size of the small components, and the expected diameter of the network. The chapter ends with a discussion of some of the shortcomings of the random graph model.

Let $G$ be a graph in which each vertex initially has weight 1. In each step, the weight from a vertex $u$ to a neighbouring vertex $v$ can be moved, provided that the weight on $v$ is at least as large as the weight on $u$. The total acquisition number of $G$, denoted by $a_t(G)$, is the minimum possible size of the set of vertices with positive weight at the end of the process.LeSaulnier, Prince, Wenger, West, and Worah asked for the minimum value of $p=p(n)$ such that $a_t(\mathcal{G}(n,p)) = 1$ with high probability, where $\mathcal{G}(n,p)$ is a binomial random graph. We show that $p = \frac{\log_2 n}{n} \approx 1.4427 \ \frac{\log n}{n}$ is a sharp threshold for this property. We also show that almost all trees $T$ satisfy $a_t(T) = \Theta(n)$, confirming a conjecture of West.

There has been much recent interest in random graphs sampled uniformly from the $n$-vertex graphs in a suitable structured class, such as the class of all planar graphs. Here we consider a general bridge-addable class $\cal A$ of graphs -- if a graph is in $\cal A$ and $u$ and $v$ are vertices in different components   then the graph obtained by adding an edge (bridge) between $u$ and $v$ must also be in $\cal A$. Various bounds are known concerning the probability of a random graph from such a   class being connected or having many components, sometimes under the additional assumption that bridges can be deleted as well as added. Here we improve or amplify or generalise these bounds (though we do not resolve the main conjecture). For example, we see that the expected number of vertices left when we remove a largest component is less than 2. The generalisation is to consider `weighted' random graphs, sampled from a suitable more general distribution, where the focus is on the bridges.

This paper demonstrates how a simple ballot theorem leads, through the interjection of a queuing process, to the solution of a problem in the theory of random graphs connected with a study of polymers in chemistry. Let Γn(p) denote a random graph with n vertices in which any two vertices, independently of the others, are connected by an edge with probability p where 0 < p < 1. Denote by ρ n(s) the number of vertices in the union of all those components of Γn(p) which contain at least one vertex of a given set of s vertices. This paper is concerned with the determination of the distribution of ρ n(s) and the limit distribution of ρ n(s) as n → ∞and ρ → 0 in such a way that np → a where a is a positive real number.

AbstractLet ωn denote a random graph with vertex set {1, 2, …, n}, such that each edge is present with a prescribed probability p, independently of the presence or absence of any other edges. We show that the number of vertices in the largest complete subgraph of ωn is, with probability one,

Random graphs are frequently used models of real-life random networks. The classical Erdös–Rényi random graph model is very well explored and has numerous nontrivial properties. In particular, a good number of important graph parameters that are hard to compute in the deterministic case often become much easier in random graphs. However, a fundamental restriction in the Erdös–Rényi random graph is that the edges are required to be probabilistically independent. This is a severe restriction, which does not hold in most real-life networks. We consider more general random graphs in which the edges may be dependent. Specifically, two models are analyzed. The first one is called a p-robust random graph. It is defined by the requirement that each edge exist with probability at least p, no matter how we condition on the presence/absence of other edges. It is significantly more general than assuming independent edges existing with probability p, as exemplified via several special cases. The second model considers the case when the edges are positively correlated, which means that the edge probability is at least p for each edge, no matter how we condition on the presence of other edges (but absence is not considered). We prove some interesting, nontrivial properties about both models.

AbstractGiven graphs G and H, a family of vertex-disjoint copies of H in G is called an H-tiling. Conlon, Gowers, Samotij and Schacht showed that for a given graph H and a constant γ>0, there exists C>0 such that if $p \ge C{n^{ - 1/{m_2}(H)}}$ , then asymptotically almost surely every spanning subgraph G of the random graph 𝒢(n, p) with minimum degree at least $\delta (G) \ge (1 - \frac{1}{{{\chi _{{\rm{cr}}}}(H)}} + \gamma )np$ contains an H-tiling that covers all but at most γn vertices. Here, χcr(H) denotes the critical chromatic number, a parameter introduced by Komlós, and m2(H) is the 2-density of H. We show that this theorem can be bootstrapped to obtain an H-tiling covering all but at most $\gamma {(C/p)^{{m_2}(H)}}$ vertices, which is strictly smaller when $p \ge C{n^{ - 1/{m_2}(H)}}$ . In the case where H = K3, this answers the question of Balogh, Lee and Samotij. Furthermore, for an arbitrary graph H we give an upper bound on p for which some leftover is unavoidable and a bound on the size of a largest H -tiling for p below this value.

A minor-closed class of graphs is addable if each excluded minor is 2-connected. We see that such a classof labelled graphs has smooth growth; and, for the random graphRnsampled uniformly from then-vertex graphs in, the fragment not in the giant component asymptotically has a simple ‘Boltzmann Poisson distribution’. In particular, asn→ ∞ the probability thatRnis connected tends to 1/A(ρ), whereA(x) is the exponential generating function forand ρ is its radius of convergence.
