Explosive Percolation in Erdős-Rényi-Like Random Graph Processes

چکیده
The evolution of the largest component has been studied intensely in a variety of random graph processes, starting in 1960 with the Erdős-Rényi process (ER). It is well known that this process undergoes a phase transition at n/2 edges when, asymptotically almost surely, a linear-sized component appears. Moreover, this phase transition is continuous, i.e., in the limit the function f(c) denoting the fraction of vertices in the largest component in the process after cn edge insertions is continuous. A variation of ER are the so-called Achlioptas processes in which in every step a random pair of edges is drawn, and a fixed edge-selection rule selects one of them to be included in the graph while the other is put back. Recently, Achlioptas, D’Souza and Spencer [1] gave strong numerical evidence that a variety of edge-selection rules exhibit a discontinuous phase transition. However, Riordan and Warnke [10] very recently showed that all Achlioptas processes have a continuous phase transition. In this work we prove discontinuous phase transitions for a class of ER-like processes in which in every step we connect two vertices, one chosen randomly from all vertices, and one chosen randomly from a restricted set of vertices.

Cycle structure of percolation on high-dimensional tori
In the past years, many properties of the critical behavior of the largest connected components on the high-dimensional torus, such as their sizes and diameter, have been established. The order of magnitude of these quantities equals the one for percolation on the complete graph or Erdős-Rényi random graph, raising the question whether the scaling limits or the largest connected components, as ...
متن کاملJ un 2 01 7 THE THRESHOLD FOR JIGSAW PERCOLATION ON RANDOM GRAPHS
Jigsaw percolation is a model for the process of solving puzzles within a social network, which was recently proposed by Brummitt, Chatterjee, Dey and Sivakoff. In the model there are two graphs on a single vertex set (the ‘people’ graph and the ‘puzzle’ graph), and vertices merge to form components if they are joined by an edge of each graph. These components then merge to form larger componen...

متن کاملMean field frozen percolation
We define a modification of the Erdős-Rényi random graph process which can be regarded as the mean field frozen percolation process. We describe the behavior of the process using differential equations and investigate their solutions in order to show the self-organized critical and extremum properties of the critical frozen percolation model. We prove two limit theorems about the distribution o...
متن کاملSpeeding up non-Markovian First Passage Percolation with a few extra edges
One model of real-life spreading processes is First Passage Percolation (also called SI model) on random graphs. Social interactions often follow bursty patterns, which are usually modelled with i.i.d. heavy-tailed passage times on edges. On the other hand, random graphs are often locally tree-like, and spreading on trees with leaves might be very slow, because of bottleneck edges with huge pas...
