Random graph generation is an important tool for studying large complex networks. Despite abundance of random graph models, constructing models with application-driven constraints is poorly understood. In order to advance state-of-the-art in this area, we focus on random graphs without short cycles as a stylized family of graphs, and propose the RandGraph algorithm for randomly generating them. For any constant k, when m=O(n^{1+1/[2k(k+3)]}), RandGraph generates an asymptotically uniform random graph with n vertices, m edges, and no cycle of length at most k using O(n^2m) operations. We also characterize the approximation error for finite values of n. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first polynomial-time algorithm for the problem. RandGraph works by sequentially adding $m$ edges to an empty graph with n vertices. Recently, such sequential algorithms have been successful for random sampling problems. Our main contributions to this line of research includes introducing a new approach for sequentially approximating edge-specific probabilities at each step of the algorithm, and providing a new method for analyzing such algorithms.
Motivated by storage applications, we study the following data structure problem: An encoder wishes to store a collection of jointly-distributed files $overline{X}:=(X_1,X_2,ldots, X_n) sim mu$ which are emph{correlated} ($H_mu(overline{X}) ll sum_i H_mu(X_i)$), using as little (expected) memory as possible, such that each individual file $X_i$ can be recovered quickly with few (ideally constant) memory accesses. In the case of independent random files, a dramatic result by Pat (FOCS08) and subsequently by Dodis, Pat and Thorup (STOC10) shows that it is possible to store $overline{X}$ using just a emph{constant} number of extra bits beyond the information-theoretic minimum space, while at the same time decoding each $X_i$ in constant time. However, in the (realistic) case where the files are correlated, much weaker results are known, requiring at least $Omega(n/polylg n)$ extra bits for constant decoding time, even for simple joint distributions $mu$. We focus on the natural case of compressingemph{Markov chains}, i.e., storing a length-$n$ random walk on any (possibly directed) graph $G$. Denoting by $kappa(G,n)$ the number of length-$n$ walks on $G$, we show that there is a succinct data structure storing a random walk using $lg_2 kappa(G,n) + O(lg n)$ bits of space, such that any vertex along the walk can be decoded in $O(1)$ time on a word-RAM. For the harder task of matching the emph{point-wise} optimal space of the walk, i.e., the empirical entropy $sum_{i=1}^{n-1} lg (deg(v_i))$, we present a data structure with $O(1)$ extra bits at the price of $O(lg n)$ decoding time, and show that any improvement on this would lead to an improved solution on the long-standing Dictionary problem. All of our data structures support the emph{online} version of the problem with constant update and query time.
Let $mathscr{G}$ be the class of plane graphs without triangles normally adjacent to $8^{-}$-cycles, without $4$-cycles normally adjacent to $6^{-}$-cycles, and without normally adjacent $5$-cycles. In this paper, it is showed that every graph in $mathscr{G}$ is $3$-choosable. Instead of proving this result, we directly prove a stronger result in the form of weakly DP-$3$-coloring. The main theorem improves the results in [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 129 (2018) 38--54; European J. Combin. 82 (2019) 102995]. Consequently, every planar graph without $4$-, $6$-, $8$-cycles is $3$-choosable, and every planar graph without $4$-, $5$-, $7$-, $8$-cycles is $3$-choosable. In the third section, it is proved that the vertex set of every graph in $mathscr{G}$ can be partitioned into an independent set and a set that induces a forest, which strengthens the result in [Discrete Appl. Math. 284 (2020) 626--630]. In the final section, tightness is considered.
It is well known that spectral Tur{a}n type problem is one of the most classical {problems} in graph theory. In this paper, we consider the spectral Tur{a}n type problem. Let $G$ be a graph and let $mathcal{G}$ be a set of graphs, we say $G$ is textit{$mathcal{G}$-free} if $G$ does not contain any element of $mathcal{G}$ as a subgraph. Denote by $lambda_1$ and $lambda_2$ the largest and the second largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix $A(G)$ of $G,$ respectively. In this paper we focus on the characterization of graphs without short odd cycles according to the adjacency eigenvalues of the graphs. Firstly, an upper bound on $lambda_1^{2k}+lambda_2^{2k}$ of $n$-vertex ${C_3,C_5,ldots,C_{2k+1}}$-free graphs is established, where $k$ is a positive integer. All the corresponding extremal graphs are identified. Secondly, a sufficient condition for non-bipartite graphs containing an odd cycle of length at most $2k+1$ in terms of its spectral radius is given. At last, we characterize the unique graph having the maximum spectral radius among the set of $n$-vertex non-bipartite graphs with odd girth at least $2k+3,$ which solves an open problem proposed by Lin, Ning and Wu [Eigenvalues and triangles in graphs, Combin. Probab. Comput. 30 (2) (2021) 258-270].
It is a great challenge to evaluate the network performance of cellular mobile communication systems. In this paper, we propose new spatial spectrum and energy efficiency models for Poisson-Voronoi tessellation (PVT) random cellular networks. To evaluate the user access the network, a Markov chain based wireless channel access model is first proposed for PVT random cellular networks. On that basis, the outage probability and blocking probability of PVT random cellular networks are derived, which can be computed numerically. Furthermore, taking into account the call arrival rate, the path loss exponent and the base station (BS) density in random cellular networks, spatial spectrum and energy efficiency models are proposed and analyzed for PVT random cellular networks. Numerical simulations are conducted to evaluate the network spectrum and energy efficiency in PVT random cellular networks.
Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) are a widely used method for graph representation learning. We investigate the power of GCNs, as a function of their number of layers, to distinguish between different random graph models on the basis of the embeddings of their sample graphs. In particular, the graph models that we consider arise from graphons, which are the most general possible parameterizations of infinite exchangeable graph models and which are the central objects of study in the theory of dense graph limits. We exhibit an infinite class of graphons that are well-separated in terms of cut distance and are indistinguishable by a GCN with nonlinear activation functions coming from a certain broad class if its depth is at least logarithmic in the size of the sample graph. These results theoretically match empirical observations of several prior works. Finally, we show a converse result that for pairs of graphons satisfying a degree profile separation property, a very simple GCN architecture suffices for distinguishability. To prove our results, we exploit a connection to random walks on graphs.
