Subcritical percolation and network archaeology on random recursive tree substrate networks

Shankar Bhamidi, Akshay Sakanaveeti

We study a network-archaeology problem for a dynamic graph whose latent substrate is a random recursive tree and whose observed topology is enriched by an independent homogeneous E…

Network evolution with self-reinforcement

Shankar Bhamidi, Remco van der Hofstad, Frank den Hollander +1

We study a new class of preferential attachment trees with \emph{self-reinforcement}. At each time, each vertex is assigned a weight equal to the cumulative sum over past times of…

The stochastic block model has the overlap graph property for modularity

Shankar Bhamidi, David Gamarnik, Remco van der Hofstad +4

The overlap gap property (OGP) is a statement about the geometry of near-optimal solutions. Exhibiting OGP implies failure of a class of local algorithms; and has been observed to…

Consistency of Lloyd's Algorithm Under Perturbations

Dhruv Patel, Hui Shen, Shankar Bhamidi +2

In the context of unsupervised learning, Lloyd's algorithm is one of the most widely used clustering algorithms. It has inspired a plethora of work investigating the correctness of…

Non-equilibrium coagulation processes and subcritical percolation on evolving networks

Sayan Banerjee, Shankar Bhamidi, Remco van der Hofstad +1

We investigate percolation on growing networks where the evolution of connected components resembles a non-equilibrium version of the multiplicative coalescent. The supercritical $…

Network evolution with mesoscopic delay

Sayan Banerjee, Shankar Bhamidi, Partha Dey +1

Owing to the influence of real-world networks both in science and society, numerous mathematical models have been developed to understand the structure and evolution of these syste…
