Poisson Cloning Model for Random Graphs

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In the random graph G(n,p) with pn bounded, the degrees of the vertices are almost i.i.d Poisson random variables with mean gl:=p(n−1). Motivated by this fact, we introduce the Poisson cloning model GPC(n,p) for random graphs in which the degrees are i.i.d Poisson random variables with mean gl. Then, we first establish a theorem that shows the new model is equivalent to the classical model G(n,p) in an asymptotic sense. Next, we introduce a useful algorithm, called the cut-off line algorithm, to generate the random graph GPC(n,p). The Poisson cloning model GPC(n,p) equipped with the cut-off line algorithm enables us to very precisely analyze the sizes of the largest component and the t-core of G(n,p). This new approach to the problems yields not only elegant proofs but also improved bounds that are essentially best possible. We also consider the Poisson cloning models for random hypergraphs and random k-SAT problems. Then, the t-core problem for random hypergraphs and the pure literal algorithm for random k-SAT problems are analyzed.
