Expected doubling constant of a random Erdős–Rényi graph

Consider the $G(n,p)$ random graph model where $n$ is a ``large'' positive integer and $p\in (0,1)$. We may equip every realized random graph $G$ with its shortest path distance, making it into a (...

Angles between edges of a geometric graph and graph invariants

Are there any clever ways in which the angles between edges in a geometric graph are encoded in the graph spectrum, or another object associated with the graph? I'm interested to see what else is ...

Random graphs and Benjamini-Schramm convergence

I am looking for literature on the question whether a randomly chosen sequence of $k$-regular graphs converges in the Benjamini-Schramm sense to the universal covering with probability one. There are ...

How to show that random graphs cannot be embedded with short edges

For each (not necessarily planar) embedding of a graph in $\mathbb{R}^k$ one can calculate the ratio $$\gamma = \frac{\textsf{mean Euclidean length of edges}}{\textsf{mean Euclidean distance between ...

Generation of randomly looking graph coordinates

Let $G$ be some connected graph. We pick randomly $k$ distinct vertices $l_1, l_2, \cdots l_k \in V(G)$. We call them the landmarks. We define $d(u,v)$ to be the length of the shortest path between ...

Generate random graphs that satisfy the triangle inequality

I would like to generate random graphs that might be geometric graphs in some (unknown) dimension. So I would like every triangle in the graph to satisfy the triangle inequality on its (random) edge ...

Gromov-Hausdorff distance measure between minimum spanning trees

I am trying to compare minimum spanning trees through time. I have two questions: 1-Is it possible to measure the similarity between two minimum spanning trees with Gromov-Hausdorff distance measure ...

Longest induced cycles in random geometric graphs near criticality

We make a random geometric graph $X(n;r)$ as follows. Choose $n$ points uniformly, independently, in the unit square $[0,1]^2$, for vertices, and then connect a pair of vertices $\{ p,q \}$ by an edge ...

Can two random graphs be metrically embedded into one another?

Let $X, Y$ be two random graphs on $n$ vertices (say, in $G(n, p)$ model for some $p$). Can anything (expectation, value with high probabiity, ...) be said about $D(X, Y)$, where $D$ is the minimal ...

Reachability in dynamic random graphs

There has been some advice on how to ask questions. So I reask my question.I have a problem related to graph theory, random graphs or random geometric graphs in special that really confuses me. ...

What fraction of n-point sets in the unit ball have diameter smaller than 1?

This question is inspired by a recent talk by Matt Kahle on random geometric complexes. Some simple notation: let $\mathcal{B} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be the unit ball in $d$-dimensional Euclidean ...

The probability distribution for vertex degree in a unit disc graph generated from random points on a plane

Imagine I cover an arbitrarily large plane with randomly placed points at some density $\rho$ s.t. the number of points in any randomly sampled area $A$ (of arbitrary shape and size) is $\approx A*\...
