In this work we study the degree distribution, the maximum vertex and edge
flow in non-uniform random Delaunay triangulations when geodesic routing is
used. We also investigate the vertex and edge flow in Erd\"os-Renyi random
graphs, geometric random graphs, expanders and random $k$-regular graphs.
Moreover we show that adding a random matching to the original graph can
considerably reduced the maximum vertex flow.
In this report we show that in a planar exponentially growing network
consisting of $N$ nodes, congestion scales as $O(N^2/\log(N))$ independently of
how flows may be routed. This is in contrast to the $O(N^{3/2})$ scaling of
congestion in a flat polynomially growing network. We also show that without
the planarity condition, congestion in a small world network could scale as low
as $O(N^{1+\epsilon})$, for arbitrarily small $\epsilon$.
The estimation of a covariance matrix from an insufficient amount of data is
one of the most common problems in fields as diverse as multivariate
statistics, wireless communications, signal processing, biology, learning
theory and finance. In \cite{MTS}, a new approach to handle singular covariance
matrices was suggested. The main idea was to use dimensionality reduction in
conjunction with an average over the unitary matrices.
In this work we study the asymptotic traffic behavior in Gromov's hyperbolic
spaces when the traffic decays exponentially with the distance. We prove that
under general conditions, there exist a phase transition between local and
global traffic.
In this work we study the asymptotic traffic behavior for Gromov's hyperbolic
networks as the size of the network increases. We prove that under certain mild
hypothesis the traffic in a large hyperbolic network tends to pass through a
finite set of highly congested nodes. These nodes will be called the ``core" of
the network. We provide a formal definition of the core in a very general
context and we study the properties of this set for hyperbolic graphs.
In many practical situations we would like to estimate the covariance matrix
of a set of variables from an insufficient amount of data. More specifically,
if we have a set of $N$ independent, identically distributed measurements of an
$M$ dimensional random vector the maximum likelihood estimate is the sample
covariance matrix. Here we consider the case where $N<M$ such that this
estimate is singular and therefore fundamentally bad. We present a radically
new approach to deal with this situation.
In this work, we prove the absence of a spectral gap for the normalized
Laplacian of the Erd\"os-Renyi random graph $G(n,p)$ when $p=\frac{d}{n}$ for
$d>1$ as $n\to\infty$. We also prove that for any positive $\delta$ the
Erd\"os-Renyi random graph has a positive probability of containing
$\delta$-fat triangles as $n\to\infty$.
In this work we find a closed form expression for matrix averages over the
Gaussian ensemble. More precisely, given an $n\times n$ Hermitian matrix $A$
and a continuous function $f(x)$ we find a closed form expression for the
expectation $\E(\mathrm{Tr}(f(XAX^{*})))$ where $X$ is a Gaussian $n\times n$
matrix with complex independent and identically distributed entries of zero
mean and variance 1. Taking $f(x)=\log(1+x)$ this gives us another formula for
the capacity of the MIMO communication channel and taking $f(x)=(1+x)^{-1}$
gives us the minimum MMSE achieved by a linear receiver.
