Switchover phenomenon for general graphs Permalink

Dániel Keliger, László Lovász, Tamás Móri and Gergely Ódor

Published in Journal of Graph Theory, 2024

One sentence abstract:

We rigorously prove the existence of the switchover phenomenon claim under mild, deterministic assumptions on the underlying graph.

Epidemic paradox induced by awareness driven network dynamics Permalink

Csegő Balázs Kolok, Gergely Ódor, Dániel Keliger, Márton Karsai

Published in arxiv, 2024

One sentence abstract:

We study stationary epidemic processes in scale-free networks with local awareness behavior adopted by only infected or all nodes, and paradoxically, we find and prove that the former scenario results in a smaller infection while more nodes can be aware in the latter.

Source identification via contact tracing in the presence of asymptomatic patients Permalink

Gergely Ódor, Jana Vuckovic, Miguel-Angel Sanchez Ndoye, Patrick Thiran

Published in Applied Network Science, 2023

One sentence abstract:

We define and prove rigorous results about a new source identification framework, where the network is initially not known to the algorithm, but must be explored through queries (similarly to the node infection times), and we evaluate our algorithms on realistic datasets.

The power of adaptivity in source identification with time queries on the path Permalink

Victor Lecomte, Gergely Ódor, and Patrick Thiran

Published in Theoretical Computer Science, 2022

One sentence abstract:

We provide the first theoretical results on the query complexity of the source identification problem when queried nodes report their infection time; in the adaptive case we need only Θ(loglog(n)) queries, while in the non-adaptive case Θ(n) queries are needed.

Sequential metric dimension for random graphs Permalink

Gergely Ódor and Patrick Thiran

Published in Journal of Applied Probability, 2021

One sentence abstract:

We prove that the sequential version of the metric dimension (where the landmarks can be chosen adaptively to distinguish every pair of nodes based on distances) is only a multiplicative constant factor smaller than the (non-adaptive) metric dimension in Erdos-Renyi graphs
