Consider any random graph model where potential edges appear independently, with possibly different probabilities, and assume that the minimum expected degree is !(lnn). We prove that the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian of that random graph are concentrated around the corresponding matrices of the weighted graph whose edge weights are the probabilities in the random model. We apply this result to two different settings. In bond percolation, we show that, whenever the minimum expected degree…

A Chernoff inequality for matrices is used to show that the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix and the normalized Laplacian of such a random graph can be approximated by those of the weighted expectation graph, with error bounds dependent upon the minimum and maximum expected degrees.

A spectral clustering algorithm for similarity graphs drawn from a simple random graph model, where nodes are allowed to have varying degrees, is examined, and guarantees on the performance are shown that it outputs the correct partition under a wide range of parameter values.
Asymptotics of the spectral radius for directed Chung-Lu random graphs with community structure
The spectral radius of the adjacency matrix can impact both algorithmic efficiency as well as the stability of solutions to an underlying dynamical process and this work provides novel concentration results for the spectral radius for the directed Chung-Lu random graph model.
Sparse random graphs: regularization and concentration of the Laplacian

It is proved that this regularization indeed forces Laplacian to concentrate even in sparse graphs, establishing the validity of one of the simplest and fastest approaches to community detection -- regularized spectral clustering, under the stochastic block model.

A new probability inequality is derived and applied to obtain an upper bound on the eigenvalues of the Hermitian adjacency matrix, and the eigens of the normalized Hermitia Laplacian matrix can be approximated by a closely related weighted expectation matrix, with error bounds depending on the minimum expected degree of the underlying undirected graph.

The main result is that w.h.p. G(n,d) has a large subgraph core(G(n),d) such that the spectral gap of the normalized Laplacian of core(N,d)) is $\geq1-c_0{\bar d}_{\min}^{-1/2}$ with high probability; here c0>0 is a constant, and ${\bar d}.
