Birth control for giants
The standard Erd˝os-Renyi model of random graphs begins with n isolated vertices, and at each round a random edge is added. Parametrizing n 2 rounds as one time unit, a phase tra...

Counting connected graphs asymptotically
We find the asymptotic number of connected graphs with k vertices and k - 1 + l edges when k, l approach infinity, reproving a result of Bender, Canfield and McKay. We use the pro...

Finding Large Independent Sets in Polynomial Expected Time
We consider instances of the maximum independent set problem that are constructed according to the following semirandom model. Let Gn,p be a random graph, and let S be a set consis...

Solving Sparse Random Instances of Max Cut and Max 2-CSP in Linear Expected Time
Abstract. We show that a maximum cut of a random graph below the giantcomponent threshold can be found in linear space and linear expected time by a simple algorithm. In fact, the ...

Encores on Cores
We give a new derivation of the threshold of appearance of the k-core of a random graph. Our method uses a hybrid model obtained from a simple model of random graphs based on rand...

Finding Dense Subgraphs in G(n,1/2)
Finding the largest clique in random graphs is a well known hard problem. It is known that a random graph G(n, 1/2) almost surely has a clique of size about 2 log n. A simple greed...

Quasi-randomness of graph balanced cut properties
Quasi-random graphs can be informally described as graphs whose edge distribution closely resembles that of a truly random graph of the same edge density. Recently, Shapira and Yu...

Continuum Percolation in the Intrinsically Secure Communications Graph
The intrinsically secure communications graph (-graph) is a random graph which captures the connections that can be securely established over a large-scale network, in the presence...

Quasi-randomness and the distribution of copies of a fixed graph
We show that if a graph G has the property that all subsets of vertices of size n/4 contain the "correct" number of triangles one would expect to find in a random graph ...

Simulated Annealing for Graph Bisection
We resolve in the a rmative a question of Boppana and Bui: whether simulated annealing can, with high probability and in polynomial time, nd the optimal bisection of a random grap...
