Lecture 7. Games on random graphs (1)

The next two lec­tures by Rene Car­mona will be on games on ran­dom graphs. Many thanks to Patrick Rebes­chini for scrib­ing these lec­tures! In the fol­low­ing we dis­cuss some results from the paper “Con­nec­tiv­ity and equi­lib­rium in ran­dom games” by … Con­tinue read­ing

Lecture 6. Giant component (3)

Let us begin with a brief recap from the pre­vi­ous lec­ture. We con­sider the Erdös-Rényi ran­dom graph in the super­crit­i­cal case . Recall that denotes the con­nected com­po­nent of the graph that con­tains the ver­tex . Our goal is to … Con­tinue read­ing

Lecture 5. Giant component (2)

Con­sider the Erdös-Rényi graph model , and denote as usual by the con­nected com­po­nent of the graph that con­tains the ver­tex . In the last lec­ture, we focused mostly on the sub­crit­i­cal case , where we showed that . Today … Con­tinue read­ing

Lecture 4. Giant component (1)

Con­sider the Erdös-Rényi graph model . In pre­vi­ous lec­tures, we focused on the “high com­plex­ity regime”, i.e., as goes to infin­ity, is fixed. We dis­cussed top­ics such as clique num­bers and chro­matic num­bers. From now on, we shall con­sider the … Con­tinue read­ing

Lecture 3. Chromatic number

Let be set of inte­gers that rep­re­sent col­ors. A ver­tex col­or­ing of a graph is an assign­ment of a color to each ver­tex . Fur­ther­more a ver­tex col­or­ing is said to be proper if for all . The chro­matic num­ber  of a graph is the … Con­tinue read­ing

Lecture 2. Clique number

In this lec­ture all logs are in base . We will prove the fol­low­ing. The­o­rem For the cen­tered and nor­mal­ized clique num­ber That is, as , the clique num­ber of the Erdös-Rényi graph is . Proof: The proof is divided into two … Con­tinue read­ing

Lecture 1. Introduction

There are many inter­est­ing mod­els of ran­dom graphs, and there a lot of dif­fer­ent ques­tions that can be asked about them. In this sem­i­nar we will only have the time cover a few of the most clas­si­cal results. The goal … Con­tinue read­ing

Spring 2013: Random graphs

Com­plex graphs and net­works are ubiq­ui­tous through­out sci­ence and engi­neer­ing, and pos­sess beau­ti­ful math­e­mat­i­cal prop­er­ties. The goal of these infor­mal lec­tures is to pro­vide an intro­duc­tion to some of the most basic results in the the­ory of (Erdos-Renyi) ran­dom graphs … Con­tinue read­ing
