A message passing algorithm is derived for recovering communities within a graph generated by a variation of the Barab{a}si-Albert preferential attachment model. The estimator is assumed to know the arrival times, or order of attachment, of the vertices. The derivation of the algorithm is based on belief propagation under an independence assumption. Two precursors to the message passing algorithm are analyzed: the first is a degree thresholding (DT) algorithm and the second is an algorithm based on the arrival times of the children (C) of a given vertex, where the children of a given vertex are the vertices that attached to it. Comparison of the performance of the algorithms shows it is beneficial to know the arrival times, not just the number, of the children. The probability of correct classification of a vertex is asymptotically determined by the fraction of vertices arriving before it. Two extensions of Algorithm C are given: the first is based on joint likelihood of the children of a fixed set of vertices; it can sometimes be used to seed the message passing algorithm. The second is the message passing algorithm. Simulation results are given.

In the Yule-Simon process, selection of words follows the preferential attachment mechanism, resulting in the power-law growth in the cumulative number of individual word occurrences. This is derived using mean-field approximation, assuming a continu um limit of both the time and number of word occurrences. However, time and word occurrences are inherently discrete in the process, and it is natural to assume that the cumulative number of word occurrences has a certain fluctuation around the average behavior predicted by the mean-field approximation. We derive the exact and approximate forms of the probability distribution of such fluctuation analytically and confirm that those probability distributions are well supported by the numerical experiments.
A variation of the preferential attachment random graph model of Barabasi and Albert is defined that incorporates planted communities. The graph is built progressively, with new vertices attaching to the existing ones one-by-one. At every step, the i ncoming vertex is randomly assigned a label, which represents a community it belongs to. This vertex then chooses certain vertices as its neighbors, with the choice of each vertex being proportional to the degree of the vertex multiplied by an affinity depending on the labels of the new vertex and a potential neighbor. It is shown that the fraction of half-edges attached to vertices with a given label converges almost surely for some classes of affinity matrices. In addition, the empirical degree distribution for the set of vertices with a given label converges to a heavy tailed distribution, such that the tail decay parameter can be different for different communities. Our proof method may be of independent interest, both for the classical Barabasi -Albert model and for other possible extensions.
Random graph alignment refers to recovering the underlying vertex correspondence between two random graphs with correlated edges. This can be viewed as an average-case and noisy version of the well-known graph isomorphism problem. For the correlated Erdos-Renyi model, we prove an impossibility result for partial recovery in the sparse regime, with constant average degree and correlation, as well as a general bound on the maximal reachable overlap. Our bound is tight in the noiseless case (the graph isomorphism problem) and we conjecture that it is still tight with noise. Our proof technique relies on a careful application of the probabilistic method to build automorphisms between tree components of a subcritical Erdos-Renyi graph.
In this paper we investigate geometric properties of graphs generated by a preferential attachment random graph model with edge-steps. More precisely, at each time $tinmathbb{N}$, with probability $p$ a new vertex is added to the graph (a vertex-step occurs) or with probability $1-p$ an edge connecting two existent vertices is added (an edge-step occurs). We prove that the global clustering coefficient decays as $t^{-gamma(p)}$ for a positive function $gamma$ of $p$. We also prove that the clique number of these graphs is, up to sub-polynomially small factors, of order~$t^{(1-p)/(2-p)}$.
Resolving a conjecture of Abbe, Bandeira and Hall, the authors have recently shown that the semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation of the maximum likelihood estimator achieves the sharp threshold for exactly recovering the community structure unde r the binary stochastic block model of two equal-sized clusters. The same was shown for the case of a single cluster and outliers. Extending the proof techniques, in this paper it is shown that SDP relaxations also achieve the sharp recovery threshold in the following cases: (1) Binary stochastic block model with two clusters of sizes proportional to network size but not necessarily equal; (2) Stochastic block model with a fixed number of equal-sized clusters; (3) Binary censored block model with the background graph being ErdH{o}s-Renyi. Furthermore, a sufficient condition is given for an SDP procedure to achieve exact recovery for the general case of a fixed number of clusters plus outliers. These results demonstrate the versatility of SDP relaxation as a simple, general purpose, computationally feasible methodology for community detection.
