Prominent examples of flip processes

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Flip processes, introduced in [Garbe, Hladk'y, v{S}ileikis, Skerman: From flip processes to dynamical systems on graphons], are a class of random graph processes defined using a rule which is just a function mathcalR:mathcalHkightarrowmathcalHk from all labelled graphs of a fixed order k into itself. The process starts with an arbitrary given n-vertex graph G0. In each step, the graph Gi is obtained by sampling k random vertices v1,ldots,vk of Gi1 and replacing the induced graph Gi1[v1,ldots,vk] by mathcalR(Gi1[v1,ldots,vk]). Using the formalism of dynamical systems on graphons associated to each such flip process from ibid. we study several specific flip processes, including the triangle removal flip process and its generalizations, 'extremist flip processes' (in which mathcalR(H) is either a clique or an independent set, depending on whether e(H) has less or more than half of all potential edges), and 'ignorant flip processes' in which the output mathcalR(H) does not depend on H.
