Efficient sampling of random permutations
We show how to uniformly distribute data at random (not to be confounded with permutation routing) in two settings that are able to deal with massive data: coarse grained parallel...

Statistics of Random Protein Superpositions: p-Values for Pairwise Structure Alignment
Quantification of statistical significance is essential for the interpretation of protein structural similarity. To address this, a random model for protein structure comparison w...

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...

Optimizing random walk search algorithms in P2P networks
In this paper we develop a model for random walk-based search mechanisms in unstructured P2P networks. This model is used to obtain analytical expressions for the performance metr...

Anomalous heat-kernel decay for random walk among bounded random conductances
We consider the nearest-neighbor simple random walk on Zd, d 2, driven by a field of bounded random conductances xy [0, 1]. The conductance law is i.i.d. subject to the condition...

Equitable Matroids
One way to choose a basis of a matroid at random is to choose an ordering of the ground set uniformly at random and then use the greedy algorithm to find a basis. We investigate t...

Large Deviations for the Weighted Height of an Extended Class of Trees
We use large deviations to prove a general theorem on the asymptotic edge-weighted height Hn of a large class of random trees for which Hn c log n for some positive constant c. A...

Random preorders and alignments
A preorder consists of linearly ordered equivalence classes called blocks, and an alignment is a sequence of cycles on n labelled elements. We investigate the block structure of a...
