A Counter-Intuitive Correlation in a Random Tournament
Consider a randomly oriented graph G = (V, E) and let a, s and b be three distinct vertices in V . We study the correlation between the events {a → s} and {s → b}. We show that...

A Spanning Tree Method for Bounding Hitting Times of Random Walks on Graphs
In this paper we consider the problem of computing the expected hitting time to a vertex for random walks on graphs. We give a method for computing an upper bound on the expected ...

High Entropy Random Selection Protocols
We study the two party problem of randomly selecting a string among all the strings of length n. We want the protocol to have the property that the output distribution has high en...

Combinatorial approach to the interpolation method and scaling limits in sparse random graphs
We establish the existence of free energy limits for several sparse random hypergraph models corresponding to certain combinatorial models on Erd¨os-R´enyi graph G(N, c/N) and r...

Lightweight Coloring and Desynchronization for Networks
—We study the distributed desynchronization problem for graphs with arbitrary topology. Motivated by the severe computational limitations of sensor networks, we present a randomi...
