Abstract
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 988-1006, March 2024. Abstract. We present a rigorous and precise analysis of the maximum degree and the average degree in a dynamic duplication-divergence graph model introduced by Solé et al. [Adv. Complex Syst., 5 (2002), pp. 43–54] in which the graph grows according to a duplication-divergence mechanism, i.e., by iteratively creating a copy of some node and then randomly alternating the neighborhood of a new node with probability [math]. This model captures the growth of some real-world processes, e.g., biological or social networks. In this paper, we prove that for some [math], the maximum degree and the average degree of a duplication-divergence graph on [math] vertices are asymptotically concentrated with high probability around [math] and [math], respectively, i.e., they are within at most a polylogarithmic factor from these values with probability at least [math] for any constant [math].
期刊介绍:
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (SIDMA) publishes research papers of exceptional quality in pure and applied discrete mathematics, broadly interpreted. The journal''s focus is primarily theoretical rather than empirical, but the editors welcome papers that evolve from or have potential application to real-world problems. Submissions must be clearly written and make a significant contribution.
Topics include but are not limited to:
properties of and extremal problems for discrete structures
combinatorial optimization, including approximation algorithms
algebraic and enumerative combinatorics
coding and information theory
additive, analytic combinatorics and number theory
combinatorial matrix theory and spectral graph theory
design and analysis of algorithms for discrete structures
discrete problems in computational complexity
discrete and computational geometry
discrete methods in computational biology, and bioinformatics
probabilistic methods and randomized algorithms.
