The (maximum receiver-centric) interference of a geometric graph (von (2005)) is studied. It is shown that, with high probability, the following results hold for a set, V, of n points independently and uniformly distributed in the unit d-cube, for constant dimension d: (1) there exists a connected graph with vertex set V that has interference O((log n)^ 1 3 ); (2) no connected graph with vertex set V has interference o((log n)^ 1 4 ); and (3) the minimum spanning tree of @math has interference Theta(( n)^ 1 2 ).
In higher dimensions, Khabbazian, Durocher, and Haghnegahdar @cite_0 use their version of log to show that minimum spanning trees of random point sets have at most logarithmic interference. Part 1 of main improves the upper bound in durocher to @math and Part 1 of lower-bound gives a matching lower bound.

Using the theory of negative association for measures and the notion of unimodularity for random weak limits of sparse graphs, we establish the validity of the cavity method for counting spanning subgraphs subject to local constraints in asymptotically tree-like graphs. Specifically, the normalized logarithm of the associated partition function (free energy) is shown to converge along any sequence of graphs whose random weak limit is a tree, and the limit is directly expressed in terms of the unique solution to a limiting cavity equation. On a Galton–Watson tree, the latter simplifies into a recursive distributional equation which can be solved explicitly. As an illustration, we provide a new asymptotic formula for the maximum size of a b-matching in the Erdős–Renyi random graph with fixed average degree and diverging size, for any . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that correlation inequalities and unimodularity are combined together to yield a general proof of uniqueness of Gibbs measures on infinite trees. We believe that a similar argument is applicable to other Gibbs measures than those over spanning subgraphs considered here. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2013
