It is proved that, as long as $p=o(\log n /n)$, for any $\varepsilon>0$, one can construct a confidence set of vertices of size $K(\varepsilon)$ that depends only on $\varepsilon$ and not on $n$, such that it contains the root with probability at least $1-\varepsilon$.
Abstract
We consider the problem of finding the root vertex of a random uniform attachment tree, when the union of the unlabeled tree and an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $\mathbb{G}(n,p)$ is observed. We prove that, as long as $p=o(\log n /n)$, for any $\varepsilon>0$, one can construct a confidence set of vertices of size $K(\varepsilon)$ that depends only on $\varepsilon$ and not on $n$, such that it contains the root with probability at least $1-\varepsilon$. This affirms a conjecture of Crane and Xu (2021). Our approach ranks vertices by their Jordan centrality in the largest component of the subgraph spanned by high-degree vertices. We show that the same approach works in other noise models as well.
The likelihood of a finite simple undirected graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is the probability that the uniform sequential attachment process, which at each step joins a new vertex to a uniformly random subset of uniformly random size of the vertices already present, outputs a graph isomorphic to $G$.

Given graphs $H$ and $F$, the generalized Tur\'{a}n number ${\rm ex}(n,H,F)$ is the maximum number of copies of $H$ in an $n$-vertex $F$-free graph. Alon and Shikhelman (J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 2016) initiated the systematic study of generalized Tur\'{a}n problems. Let $T$ be a tree on $k$ vertices, and write $n=a(k-...
This paper investigates an information-limited version of the planted subgraph detection problem, in which the planted structure is an arbitrary sequence of graphs, where $\Gamma_n$ is embedded in an ambient graph on $n$ vertices, but the observer does not have access to the full adjacency matrix.
We develop a framework for proving universality results in sparse random graphs. As a first application, we show that there exists an absolute constant $C>1$ such that, with high probability, for every fixed constant $\Delta$, the binomial random graph $G(n,C\ln n/n)$ contains every $n$-vertex tree with maximum degree...

Motivated by Erd\H{o}s's conjecture on the Tur\'an number of degenerate bipartite graphs, Brada\v{c}, Janzer, Sudakov and Tomon proved that $ \ex(n,T \Box P)=\Theta_{T,P}(n^{3/2})$ for every nontrivial tree $T$ and every nontrivial path $P$, and conjectured that the same order of magnitude holds for the Cartesian produ...
We consider a random subgraph $G_p(n,r,<s)$ of the complete distance graph $G(n,r,<s)$ whose vertices are the $r$-element subsets of the set $\{1,\dots,n\}$ and whose edges join pairs of subsets that intersect in fewer than $s$ elements; each edge survives independently of the others with probability $p$. The independe...
