Permutation Statistics in Conjugacy Classes of the Symmetric Group

Jesse Campion Loth, Michael Levet, Kevin Liu +3

We introduce the notion of a weighted inversion statistic on the symmetric group, and examine its distribution on each conjugacy class. Our work generalizes the study of several co…

Odd Covers of Graphs

Calum Buchanan, Alexander Clifton, Eric Culver +4

Given a finite simple graph , an odd cover of is a collection of complete bipartite graphs, or bicliques, in which each edge of appears in an odd number of bicliques and…

Parking functions, multi-shuffle, and asymptotic phenomena

Mei Yin

Given a positive-integer-valued vector with . A -parking function of length is a sequence of positive integers wh…

Parking functions: Interdisciplinary connections

Mei Yin

Suppose that drivers each choose a preferred parking space in a linear car park with spots. In order, each driver goes to their chosen spot and parks there if possible, and…

Parking functions: From combinatorics to probability

Richard Kenyon, Mei Yin

Suppose that drivers each choose a preferred parking space in a linear car park with spots. In order, each driver goes to their chosen spot and parks there if possible, and…

Remarks on power-law random graphs

Mei Yin

The theory of graphons is an important tool in understanding properties of large networks. We investigate a power-law random graph model and cast it in the graphon framework. The d…

Interval parking functions

Emma Colaric, Ryan DeMuse, Jeremy L. Martin +1

Interval parking functions (IPFs) are a generalization of ordinary parking functions in which each car is willing to park only in a fixed interval of spaces. Each interval parking…

Dimension reduction in vertex-weighted exponential random graphs

Ryan DeMuse, Mei Yin

We investigate the behavior of vertex-weighted exponential random graphs. We show that vertex-weighted exponential random graphs with edge weights induced by products of independen…

Mixing Time of Vertex-Weighted Exponential Random Graphs

Ryan DeMuse, Terry Easlick, Mei Yin

Exponential random graph models have become increasingly important in the study of modern networks ranging from social networks, economic networks, to biological networks. They see…

Ground States for Exponential Random Graphs

Rajinder Mavi, Mei Yin

We propose a perturbative method to estimate the normalization constant in exponential random graph models as the weighting parameters approach infinity. As an application, we give…

Phase Transitions in Edge-Weighted Exponential Random Graphs: Near-Degeneracy and Universality

Ryan DeMuse, Danielle Larcomb, Mei Yin

Conventionally used exponential random graphs cannot directly model weighted networks as the underlying probability space consists of simple graphs only. Since many substantively i…

Phase transitions in edge-weighted exponential random graphs

Mei Yin

The exponential family of random graphs represents an important and challenging class of network models. Despite their flexibility, conventionally used exponential random graphs ha…

Large deviations and exact asymptotics for constrained exponential random graphs

Mei Yin

We present a technique for approximating generic normalization constants subject to constraints. The method is then applied to derive the exact asymptotics for the conditional norm…

Reciprocity in directed networks

Mei Yin, Lingjiong Zhu

Reciprocity is an important characteristic of directed networks and has been widely used in the modeling of World Wide Web, email, social, and other complex networks. In this paper…

Asymptotics for Sparse Exponential Random Graph Models

Mei Yin, Lingjiong Zhu

We study the asymptotics for sparse exponential random graph models where the parameters may depend on the number of vertices of the graph. We obtain exact estimates for the mean a…

On the asymptotics of constrained exponential random graphs

Richard Kenyon, Mei Yin

The unconstrained exponential family of random graphs assumes no prior knowledge of the graph before sampling, but it is natural to consider situations where partial information ab…

Asymptotic quantization of exponential random graphs

Mei Yin, Alessandro Rinaldo, Sukhada Fadnavis

We describe the asymptotic properties of the edge-triangle exponential random graph model as the natural parameters diverge along straight lines. We show that as we continuously va…
