A Critical Point For Random Graphs With A Given Degree Sequence

by Michael Molloy, Bruce Reed , 2000
"... Given a sequence of non-negative real numbers 0 ; 1 ; : : : which sum to 1, we consider random graphs having approximately i n vertices of degree i. Essentially, we show that if P i(i \Gamma 2) i ? 0 then such graphs almost surely have a giant component, while if P i(i \Gamma 2) i ! 0 the ..."

then almost surely all components in such graphs are small. We can apply these results to G n;p ; G n;M , and other well-known models of random graphs. There are also applications related to the chromatic number of sparse random graphs.

Factor Graphs and the Sum-Product Algorithm

by Frank R. Kschischang, Brendan J. Frey, Hans-Andrea Loeliger - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY , 1998
"... A factor graph is a bipartite graph that expresses how a "global" function of many variables factors into a product of "local" functions. Factor graphs subsume many other graphical models including Bayesian networks, Markov random fields, and Tanner graphs. Following one simple c ..."

Randomized Gossip Algorithms

by Stephen Boyd, Arpita Ghosh, Balaji Prabhakar, Devavrat Shah - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY , 2006
"... Motivated by applications to sensor, peer-to-peer, and ad hoc networks, we study distributed algorithms, also known as gossip algorithms, for exchanging information and for computing in an arbitrarily connected network of nodes. The topology of such networks changes continuously as new nodes join a ..."

High dimensional graphs and variable selection with the Lasso

by Nicolai Meinshausen, Peter Bühlmann - ANNALS OF STATISTICS , 2006
"... The pattern of zero entries in the inverse covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution corresponds to conditional independence restrictions between variables. Covariance selection aims at estimating those structural zeros from data. We show that neighborhood selection with the Lasso is a ..."

is a computationally attractive alternative to standard covariance selection for sparse high-dimensional graphs. Neighborhood selection estimates the conditional independence restrictions separately for each node in the graph and is hence equivalent to variable selection for Gaussian linear models. We

The geometry of graphs and some of its algorithmic applications

by Nathan Linial, Eran London, Yuri Rabinovich - COMBINATORICA , 1995
"... In this paper we explore some implications of viewing graphs as geometric objects. This approach offers a new perspective on a number of graph-theoretic and algorithmic problems. There are several ways to model graphs geometrically and our main concern here is with geometric representations that res ..."

Graphs over Time: Densification Laws, Shrinking Diameters and Possible Explanations

by Jure Leskovec, Jon Kleinberg, Christos Faloutsos , 2005
"... How do real graphs evolve over time? What are “normal” growth patterns in social, technological, and information networks? Many studies have discovered patterns in static graphs, identifying properties in a single snapshot of a large network, or in a very small number of snapshots; these include hea ..."

Semi-Supervised Learning Using Gaussian Fields and Harmonic Functions

by Xiaojin Zhu , Zoubin Ghahramani, John Lafferty - IN ICML , 2003
"... An approach to semi-supervised learning is proposed that is based on a Gaussian random field model. Labeled and unlabeled data are represented as vertices in a weighted graph, with edge weights encoding the similarity between instances. The learning ..."

A Random Graph Model for Massive Graphs

by William Aiello, Fan Chung, Linyuan Lu - STOC 2000 , 2000
"... We propose a random graph model which is a special case of sparse random graphs with given degree sequences. This model involves only a small number of parameters, called logsize and log-log growth rate. These parameters capture some universal characteristics of massive graphs. Furthermore, from t ..."

Statistical mechanics of complex networks

by Réka Albert, Albert-lászló Barabási - Rev. Mod. Phys
"... Complex networks describe a wide range of systems in nature and society, much quoted examples including the cell, a network of chemicals linked by chemical reactions, or the Internet, a network of routers and computers connected by physical links. While traditionally these systems were modeled as ra ..."

The structure and function of complex networks

by M. E. J. Newman - SIAM REVIEW , 2003
"... Inspired by empirical studies of networked systems such as the Internet, social networks, and biological networks, researchers have in recent years developed a variety of techniques and models to help us understand or predict the behavior of these systems. Here we review developments in this field, ..."
