Questions tagged [random-graphs]
A random graph is a graph - a set of vertices and edges - that is chosen according to some probability distribution. In the most common model, $G_{n, p}$, a graph has $n$ vertices, and edges are present independently with probability $p$. Use (graphing-functions) instead if your question is about graphing or plotting functions.

Is the set of critical values for percolation dense in $(0,1)$?
Given a locally finite, countably infinite connected graph, define its critical probability as $$p_c(G):=\inf\left\{p\in (0,1]: (V(G),E(G)_p) \substack{\text{ contains an infinite connected}\\ \text{...

Linking probability with 3D space filling complete graphs
Problem. Let $t$ hard-core spheres of diameter $D$ be placed i.i.d. uniformly in the unit cube. Every pair is joined by a rigid cylinder of the same diameter $D$. Spheres and cylinders are mutually ...

Concentration of the number of triangles in a random graph with fixed number of edges
Given parameters $n$ and $p$ of an Erdos-Reyni random graph $G(n,p)$, one can estimate parameters such as the number of edges or triangles of the realized graph and show concentration results for ...

The factor graph corresponding to the posterior distribution
I am reading this paper and have a question about the factor graph of the posterior distribution in Figure 1. It looks like the authors never really define what that distribution is, and explain why ...

Conditional expectation of number of visited nodes in a depth-first search on a Galton-Watson tree
I have the following problem: Given a Galton-Watson tree $T$ where the offspring distribution is $p_0 = p_2 = \frac{q-1}{2q}$ and $p_1 = \frac{1}{q}$ for some prime number $q \geq 3$. Consider depth-...

The random graph $G(n,p)$ attains the minimum of graph discrepancy
I have read this statement from various articles: By considering random graphs in $\mathcal{G}(n,1/2)$, it can be seen that the discrepancy of a graph on $n$ vertices can be as small as $O(n^{3/2}).$ ...

Probability (or asymptotics) that $G_{n, p}$ is a forest?
In the binomial Erdős–Rényi model of random graphs, we are interested in random graphs where there are $n$ nodes and where each of the $\binom{n}{2}$ possible edges is independently added to the graph ...

Understanding the regularization lemma and what can be said about graphs representing the real word by applying this lemma?
For the most part I understand the mathematical statement of Szemerédi's Regularity Lemma: it states that any large graph's vertices can be partitioned into k parts (groups) of equal or nearly equal ...

Distinguishing between graphs with short first-order sentences
Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices. It is quite easy to write out a first-order sentence $\phi$ in the language of graphs such that any graph on $n$ vertices which satisfies $\phi$ is isomorphic to $G$...
