Vertex Pursuit Games in Stochastic Network Models

Random graphs with given expected degrees G(w) were introduced by Chung and Lu so as to extend the theory of classical G(n,p) random graphs to include random power law graphs. We investigate asymptotic results for the game of Cops and Robber played on G(w

Preface

The advent of the Internet has opened up a wealth of applications, but also given rise to a host of new problems. Many of those problems have led to exciting new research directions in mathematics and theoretical computer science, especially in the areas of combinatorics and algorithms. The Fourth Workshop on Combinatorial and Algorithmic Aspects of Networking (CAAN 2007) was organized to be a place where the latest research developments on all aspects of networking could be presented. The topics covered were diverse, with talks on strategies for searching in networks, for cleaning networks of unwanted intruders, on different routing strategies, and on sc
