A wide variety of complex networks (social, biological, information etc.) exhibit local clustering with substantial variation in the clustering coefficient (the probability of neighbors being connected). Existing models of large graphs capture power law degree distributions (Barabasi-Albert) and small-world properties (Watts-Strogatz), but only limited clustering behavior. We introduce a generalization of the classical ErdH{o}s-Renyi model of random graphs which provably achieves a wide range of desired clustering coefficient, triangle-to-edge and four-cycle-to-edge ratios for any given graph size and edge density. Rather than choosing edges independently at random, in the Random Overlapping Communities model, a graph is generated by choosing a set of random, relatively dense subgraphs (communities). We discuss the explanatory power of the model and some of its consequences.

We prove that in sparse ErdH{o}s-R{e}nyi graphs of average degree $d$, the vector chromatic number (the relaxation of chromatic number coming from the Lov`{a}sz theta function) is typically $tfrac{1}{2}sqrt{d} + o_d(1)$. This fits with a long-standin g conjecture that various refutation and hypothesis-testing problems concerning $k$-colorings of sparse ErdH{o}s-R{e}nyi graphs become computationally intractable below the `Kesten-Stigum threshold $d_{KS,k} = (k-1)^2$. Along the way, we use the celebrated Ihara-Bass identity and a carefully constructed non-backtracking random walk to prove two deterministic results of independent interest: a lower bound on the vector chromatic number (and thus the chromatic number) using the spectrum of the non-backtracking walk matrix, and an upper bound dependent only on the girth and universal cover. Our upper bound may be equivalently viewed as a generalization of the Alon-Boppana theorem to irregular graphs
Recently, real world networks having constant/shrinking diameter along with power-law degree distribution are observed and investigated in literature. Taking an inspiration from these findings, we propose a deterministic complex network model, which we call Self-Coordinated Corona Graphs (SCCG), based on the corona product of graphs. As it has also been established that self coordination/organization of nodes gives rise to emergence of power law in degree distributions of several real networks, the networks in the proposed model are generated by the virtue of self coordination of nodes in corona graphs. Alike real networks, the SCCG inherit motifs which act as the seed graphs for the generation of SCCG. We also analytically prove that the power law exponent of SCCG is approximately $2$ and the diameter of SCCG produced by a class of motifs is constant. Finally, we compare different properties of the proposed model with that of the BA and Pseudofractal scale-free models for complex networks.
We prove that if $G$ is a sparse graph --- it belongs to a fixed class of bounded expansion $mathcal{C}$ --- and $din mathbb{N}$ is fixed, then the $d$th power of $G$ can be partitioned into cliques so that contracting each of these clique to a singl e vertex again yields a sparse graph. This result has several graph-theoretic and algorithmic consequences for powers of sparse graphs, including bounds on their subchromatic number and efficient approximation algorithms for the chromatic number and the clique number.
Community definitions usually focus on edges, inside and between the communities. However, the high density of edges within a community determines correlations between nodes going beyond nearest-neighbours, and which are indicated by the presence of motifs. We show how motifs can be used to define general classes of nodes, including communities, by extending the mathematical expression of Newman-Girvan modularity. We construct then a general framework and apply it to some synthetic and real networks.
A conflict-free k-coloring of a graph assigns one of k different colors to some of the vertices such that, for every vertex v, there is a color that is assigned to exactly one vertex among v and vs neighbors. Such colorings have applications in wirel ess networking, robotics, and geometry, and are well-studied in graph theory. Here we study the natural problem of the conflict-free chromatic number chi_CF(G) (the smallest k for which conflict-free k-colorings exist). We provide results both for closed neighborhoods N[v], for which a vertex v is a member of its neighborhood, and for open neighborhoods N(v), for which vertex v is not a member of its neighborhood. For closed neighborhoods, we prove the conflict-free variant of the famous Hadwiger Conjecture: If an arbitrary graph G does not contain K_{k+1} as a minor, then chi_CF(G) <= k. For planar graphs, we obtain a tight worst-case bound: three colors are sometimes necessary and always sufficient. We also give a complete characterization of the computational complexity of conflict-free coloring. Deciding whether chi_CF(G)<= 1 is NP-complete for planar graphs G, but polynomial for outerplanar graphs. Furthermore, deciding whether chi_CF(G)<= 2 is NP-complete for planar graphs G, but always true for outerplanar graphs. For the bicriteria problem of minimizing the number of colored vertices subject to a given bound k on the number of colors, we give a full algorithmic characterization in terms of complexity and approximation for outerplanar and planar graphs. For open neighborhoods, we show that every planar bipartite graph has a conflict-free coloring with at most four colors; on the other hand, we prove that for k in {1,2,3}, it is NP-complete to decide whether a planar bipartite graph has a conflict-free k-coloring. Moreover, we establish that any general} planar graph has a conflict-free coloring with at most eight colors.
