Discrepancy properties for random regular digraphs

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

For the uniform random regular directed graph we prove concentration inequalities for (1) codegrees and (2) the number of edges passing from one set of vertices to another. As a consequence, we can deduce discrepancy properties for the distribution of edges essentially matching results for Erdős-Rényi digraphs obtained from Chernoff-type bounds. The proofs make use of the method of exchangeable pairs, developed for concentration of measure by Chatterjee. Exchangeable pairs are constructed using two involutions on the set of regular digraphs: a well-known "simple switching" operation, as well as a novel "reflection" operation.
