Modularity of Erdős‐Rényi random graphs

C McDiarmid, F Skerman - Random Structures & Algorithms, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

On perfectly friendly bisections of random graphs

D Minzer, A Sah, M Sawhney - The Annals of Probability, 2024 - projecteuclid.org
We prove that there exists a constant γ crit≈ 0.17566 such that if G∼ G (n, 1/2), then for any
ε> 0 with high probability G has a equipartition such that each vertex has (γ crit− ε) n more …

Majority dynamics: The power of one

A Sah, M Sawhney - Israel Journal of Mathematics, 2024 - Springer
Consider n= ℓ+ m individuals, where ℓ≤ m, with ℓ individuals holding an opinion A and m
holding an opinion B. Suppose that the individuals communicate via an undirected network …

Asymptotic enumeration of graphs with given degree sequence

N Wormald - Proceedings of the International Congress of …, 2018 - World Scientific
We survey results on counting graphs with given degree sequence, focusing on asymptotic
results, and mentioning some of the applications of these results. The main recent …

Asymptotic enumeration of digraphs and bipartite graphs by degree sequence

A Liebenau, N Wormald - Random Structures & Algorithms, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
We provide asymptotic formulae for the numbers of bipartite graphs with given degree
sequence, and of loopless digraphs with given in‐and out‐degree sequences, for a wide …

Power optimized and power constrained randomized gossip approaches for wireless sensor networks

J Zhang - IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, 2020 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this letter, we investigate the randomized gossip (RG) algorithm by taking the power
consumption over wireless sensor networks (WSNs) into account for distributed averaging …

Asymptotic enumeration of sparse multigraphs with given degrees

C Greenhill, BD McKay - SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 2013 - SIAM
Let J and J^* be subsets of N such that 0,1∈J and 0∈J^*. For infinitely many n, let
k=(k_1,...,k_n) be a vector of nonnegative integers whose sum M is even. We find an …

Asymptotic enumeration of orientations of a graph as a function of the out-degree sequence

M Isaev, T Iyer, BD McKay - arXiv preprint arXiv:1908.01309, 2019 - arxiv.org
We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of orientations with given out-degree (score)
sequence for a graph $ G $. The graph $ G $ is assumed to have average degrees at least …
