Cascade Surviving Cores via Local Limits

Souvik Dhara, Manish Pandey, Leonard J. Schulman

We consider a general class of cascading processes on marked networks, in which vertices are iteratively deleted according to a local vertex property. Under marked local-weak conve…

Waning Immunity Fails to Restore a Positive Epidemic Threshold on Power-Law Networks

Zihao He, Souvik Dhara, Debankur Mukherjee

In a seminal work, Chatterjee and Durrett (2009) established that for the SIS epidemic process on random graphs with power-law degree distributions, the infection survives for an e…

Spectral Recovery of Binary Censored Block Models

Souvik Dhara, Julia Gaudio, Elchanan Mossel +1

Community detection is the problem of identifying community structure in graphs. Often the graph is modeled as a sample from the Stochastic Block Model, in which each vertex belong…
