چکیده

Abstract We consider the diameter of a random graph G(n, p) for various ranges of p close to the phase transition point for connectivity. For a disconnected graph G, we use the convention that the diameter of G is the maximum diameter of its connected components. We show that almost surely the diameter of random graph G(n, p) equals (1 + o(1)) log n log(np) if np → ∞. Moreover if np log n = c > 8, then the diameter of G(n, p) is concentrated on two values. In general, if np log n = c > c0 , the diameter is concentrated on at most 2 1 c0 + 4 values. We also proved that the diameter of G(n, p) is almost surely equal to the diameter of its giant component if np > 3.6.

The Diameter of Weighted Random Graphs

In this paper, we study the impact of the introduction of edge weights on the typical distances in a random graph and, in particular, on its diameter. Our main result consists of a precise asymptotic expression for the (edge) diameter of sparse random graphs on n vertices (under some standard regularity conditions) when the edge weights are i.i.d. exponential random variables of rate one.

A summary of The diameter of random sparse graphs

Massive graphs that arise in the studies of the Internet share many similar aspects with random graphs, although there are significant differences (e.g., there can be vertices with large degrees in a sparse massive graph). Nevertheless, many of the methods and ideas [1, 3] that are used in modeling and analyzing massive graphs have been frequently traced to the seminal papers of Erdős and Rényi...

The Research Statement of Linyuan

Dr. Lu made major contributions to the theory of large sparse random graphs — a new direction in graph theory for modeling many real-world graphs. Together with Chung (and other collaborators), Lu introduced and studied several random graph models, including models using preferential attachment scheme, partial duplication models, random graphs with expected degree sequence, and hybrid models. T...

On Solving the Maximum $k$-club Problem

Given a simple undirected graph G, the maximum k-club problem is to find a maximum-cardinality subset of nodes inducing a subgraph of diameter at most k in G. This NP-hard generalization of clique, originally introduced to model low diameter clusters in social networks, is of interest in network-based data mining and clustering applications. We give two MAX-SAT formulations of the problem and s...

Rainbow Connectivity of Sparse Random Graphs

An edge colored graph G is rainbow edge connected if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colors. The rainbow connectivity of a connected graph G, denoted by rc(G), is the smallest number of colors that are needed in order to make G rainbow connected. In this work we study the rainbow connectivity of binomial random graphs at the connectivity threshold p = logn+ω n...
