If a graph is chosen uniformly at random from all the graphs with a given degree sequence, what can be said about its subgraphs? The same can be asked of bipartite graphs, equivalently 0-1 matrices. These questions have been studied by many people. In this paper we provide a partial survey of the eld, with emphasis on two general techniques: the method of switchings and the multidimensional saddle-point method.

The result is extended to the probability space of random graphs with a given degree sequence and gives an asymptotic formula for any d=o(n^1^/^3), provided that H does not contain almost all the edges of the random graph.

We survey results on counting graphs with given degree sequence, focusing on asymptotic results, and mentioning some of the applications of these results. The main recent development is the proof of
Title : Discrete duality principle in different random graph models
For a given random graph, a connected component that contains a finite fraction of the entire graph’s vertices is called giant. The study of these components started with the Erdős-Rényi model, where

In this paper we relate a fundamental parameter of a random graph, its degree sequence, to a simple model of nearly independent binomial random variables. This confirms a conjecture made in 1997. As

We compute the eigenvalue fluctuations of uniformly distributed random biregular bipartite graphs with fixed and growing degrees for a large class of analytic functions. As a key step in the proof,
