A Note on the Expected Time for Finding Maxima by List Algorithms
Maxima in Rd are found incrementally by maintaining a linked list and comparing new elements against the linked list. If the elements are independent and uniformly distributed in t...

Growth of components in random graphs
The creation and growth of components of a given complexity in a random graph process are studied. In particular, the expected number and total size of all such components is found...

Markov Chain Modelling of the Probabilistic Packet Marking Algorithm
In this work, we show that the current termination condition of the Probabilistic Packet Marking (PPM) algorithm is not correct for general networks, and this implies the estimati...

Combinatorial Properties of a Rooted Graph Polynomial
For a rooted graph G, let EV (G; p) be the expected number of vertices reachable from the root when each edge has an independent probability p of operating successfully. We examine...

Counting the Faces of Randomly-Projected Hypercubes and Orthants, with Applications
Let A be an n by N real valued random matrix, and HN denote the N-dimensional hypercube. For numerous random matrix ensembles, the expected number of k-dimensional faces of the ran...

Analysis of a Simple Greedy Matching Algorithm on Random Cubic Graphs
We consider the performance of a simple greedy matching algorithm MINGREEDY when applied to random cubic graphs. We show that if λn is the expected number of vertices not matched...
