A Janson setup consists of $N$ independent Bernoulli variables with success probabilities
prob i ∈ [0,1] and a family of $k$ "bad events" indexed by subsets $S_i \subseteq \{0,\dots,N-1\}$,
where event $i$ occurs iff every coordinate in $S_i$ is present in the random subset.
Instances For
Probability that the $i$-th bad event $A_i$ occurs, i.e. $\mathbb{P}(A_i) = \prod_{j \in S_i} p_j$.
Instances For
The expected number of bad events, $\mu = \sum_{i=1}^{k} \mathbb{P}(A_i)$.
Instances For
Dependency relation between bad events: events $A_i$ and $A_j$ are dependent iff $i \ne j$ and $S_i \cap S_j \ne \emptyset$.
Instances For
Decidability of the dependency relation.
Joint probability $\mathbb{P}(A_i \cap A_j) = \prod_{l \in S_i \cup S_j} p_l$.
Instances For
The dependency parameter $\Delta = \sum_{i \sim j} \mathbb{P}(A_i \cap A_j)$, summed over ordered dependent pairs $(i,j)$.
Instances For
Probability that none of the bad events occur, i.e. $\mathbb{P}(\bigcap_i \overline{A_i})$, expressed as a sum over the random subset $T$ of coordinates that are present.
Instances For
Probability that the random subset of present coordinates equals exactly $T$.
Instances For
Given a subset $T$ of present coordinates, counts the number of bad events $A_i$ that occur, i.e. the number of indices $i$ with $S_i \subseteq T$.
Instances For
Lower-tail probability $\mathbb{P}(X \le \mu - t)$ where $X = \sum_i \mathbf{1}_{A_i}$ counts how many bad events occur.
Instances For
Chain-rule lemma underpinning Janson's inequality: there exist factors $r_i \le 1$ such that $\mathbb{P}(\text{no bad event}) = \prod_i (1 - r_i)$ and $\sum_i r_i \ge \mu - \Delta/2$. This is the Harris-style decomposition used in the proof of Theorem 8.1.2.
Theorem 8.1.2 (Janson I). For a Janson setup with $k$ bad events, $$ \mathbb{P}(X = 0) \le \exp(-\mu + \Delta/2), $$ where $X$ counts the bad events that occur, $\mu = \mathbb{E}[X]$, and $\Delta$ is the total dependency parameter.
Expected number of triangles in $G(n,p)$: $\mu = \binom{n}{3} p^3$.
Instances For
Janson dependency parameter for triangles in $G(n,p)$: counts ordered pairs of triangles sharing an edge, weighted by the joint probability $p^5$.
Instances For
Auxiliary asymptotic estimate: if $p(n) \sqrt{n} \to 0$ then $\Delta_{\triangle}(n, p(n)) / \mu_{\triangle}(n, p(n)) \to 0$.
Auxiliary limit: $(c/n) \sqrt{n} = c/\sqrt{n} \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$.
Asymptotic limit: $\mu_{\triangle}(n, c/n) = \binom{n}{3}(c/n)^3 \to c^3/6$.
Specialization of triangle_free_delta_over_mu_tendsto to $p = c/n$:
$\Delta_{\triangle}(n, c/n) / \mu_{\triangle}(n, c/n) \to 0$.
Auxiliary limit: $\Delta_{\triangle}(n, c/n) \to 0$ as $n \to \infty$.
Corollary 8.1.7. Abstract form: if a probability sequence is sandwiched between $\exp(-\mu_n)$ and $\exp(-\mu_n + \Delta_n/2)$ for the triangle counts in $G(n, c/n)$, then $-\log(\text{prob}_n) \to c^3/6$.
Probability that $G(n,p)$ is triangle-free, computed under the binomial random graph measure on $\mathrm{Fin}\, n$.
Instances For
Triangle-free probability at edge density $p = c/n$, returning $0$ if $c/n$ falls outside the unit interval.
Instances For
Janson upper bound applied to triangles in $G(n, c/n)$: $\mathbb{P}(G \text{ triangle-free}) \le \exp(-\mu + \Delta/2)$.
Harris-type lower bound: $\exp(-\mu) \le \mathbb{P}(G(n, c/n) \text{ triangle-free})$.
For large $n$, the triangle-free probability is strictly positive.
For large $n$, the triangle-free probability is bounded above by $1$.
Concrete instance of Corollary 8.1.7 (Janson) for triangles in $G(n, c/n)$: $$ -\log \mathbb{P}(G(n,c/n) \text{ triangle-free}) \to \frac{c^3}{6}. $$
Theorem 8.1.6/8.1.7/8.1.8 (Janson II). Optimization of the parametric Janson bound: if for every $q \in [0,1]$ we have $v \le \exp(-q\mu + q^2 \Delta / 2)$, then $v \le \exp(-\mu^2 / (2\Delta))$, by choosing $q = \mu/\Delta$.
Asymptotic identity: if $\mu \asymp n^3 p^3$ and $\Delta \asymp n^4 p^5$, then $\mu^2 / (2\Delta) \asymp n^2 p$, the natural Janson II exponent for triangles.
Bundle of asymptotic data for triangles in $G(n, p(n))$: triangle-free probability, Janson parameters $\mu$ and $\Delta$ with their correct asymptotic order.
Instances For
For any fixed $k \in \mathbb{N}$, $(n - k) \asymp n$ as $n \to \infty$.
Constructs a TriangleFreeGnpData bundle for a probability sequence $p(n)$ that is
eventually positive and bounded away from $1$. The triangle-free probability used is the
naive empty-graph bound $(1-p)^{\binom{n}{2}}$ for the lower bound.
Instances For
Janson II applied to triangles in $G(n, p(n))$ via the bundle from
triangleFreeGnpData_exists: $\mathbb{P}(G \text{ triangle-free}) \le \exp(-\mu^2 / (2\Delta))$.
"Empty-graph" upper bound: the triangle-free probability is at least the probability of no edges, giving $-\log \mathbb{P}(G \text{ triangle-free}) \le C \cdot n^2 p$.
Janson I two-sided bounds in the sparse regime $p \lesssim n^{-1/2}$: in this regime $\mu / 2 \le -\log \mathbb{P}(G \text{ triangle-free}) \le 2 \mu$.
In the dense regime $p \gtrsim n^{-1/2}$, the negative-log triangle-free probability satisfies $-\log \mathbb{P}(G \text{ triangle-free}) =\Theta(n^2 p)$.
In the sparse regime $p \lesssim n^{-1/2}$, the negative-log triangle-free probability satisfies $-\log \mathbb{P}(G \text{ triangle-free}) =\Theta(n^3 p^3)$, i.e. it is of the order of the expected number of triangles.
At the critical scale $p \asymp n^{-1/2}$, both the dense and sparse asymptotics for the negative log triangle-free probability hold simultaneously.
