Abstract
In this work we consider temporal graphs, i.e. graphs, each edge of which isassigned a set of discrete time-labels drawn from a set of integers. The labelsof an edge indicate the discrete moments in time at which the edge isavailable. We also consider temporal paths in a temporal graph, i.e. pathswhose edges are assigned a strictly increasing sequence of labels. Furthermore,we assume the uniform case (UNI-CASE), in which every edge of a graph isassigned exactly one time label from a set of integers and the time labelsassigned to the edges of the graph are chosen randomly and independently, withthe selection following the uniform distribution. We call uniform randomtemporal graphs the graphs that satisfy the UNI-CASE. We begin by deriving theexpected number of temporal paths of a given length in the uniform randomtemporal clique. We define the term temporal distance of two vertices, which isthe arrival time, i.e. the time-label of the last edge, of the temporal paththat connects those vertices, which has the smallest arrival time amongst alltemporal paths that connect those vertices. We then propose and study twostatistical properties of temporal graphs. One is the maximum expected temporaldistance which is, as the term indicates, the maximum of all expected temporaldistances in the graph. The other one is the temporal diameter which, looselyspeaking, is the expectation of the maximum temporal distance in the graph. Wederive the maximum expected temporal distance of a uniform random temporal stargraph as well as an upper bound on both the maximum expected temporal distanceand the temporal diameter of the normalized version of the uniform randomtemporal clique, in which the largest time-label available equals the number ofvertices. Finally, we provide an algorithm that solves an optimization problemon a specific type of temporal (multi)graphs of two vertices.
