Lower bounds for the isoperimetric numbers of random regular graphs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The vertex isoperimetric number of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the minimum of the ratio $|\partial_{V}U|/|U|$ where $U$ ranges over all nonempty subsets of $V$ with $|U|/|V|\le u$ and $\partial_{V}U$ is the set of all vertices adjacent to $U$ but not in $U$. The analogously defined edge isoperimetric number---with $\partial_{V}U$ replaced by $\partial_{E}U$, the set of all edges with exactly one endpoint in $U$---has been studied extensively. Here we study random regular graphs. For the case $u=1/2$, we give asymptotically almost sure lower bounds for the vertex isoperimetric number for all $d\ge3$. Moreover, we obtain a lower bound on the asymptotics as $d\to\infty$. We also provide asymptotically almost sure lower bounds on $|\partial_{E}U|/|U|$ in terms of an upper bound on the size of $U$ and analyse the bounds as $d\to\infty$.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
