The spectral measure for random graphs G(n, c/n) however is less understood. In this work, we combine and extend two combinatorial approaches by Bauer and Golinelli (2001) and Enriquez and Menard (2016) and approximate the moments of the spectral measure by counting walks that span trees.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-05-14T06:38:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random graphs", "tree walks", "spectral measure", "case np tends", "spectral theory" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
