Exponential random graph models with soft clique constraints
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.30869v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Let $r\geq3$ be fixed, and let $\mathbf{G}_n$ be the set of all simple graphs with vertex set $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$. We consider an exponential random graph model which gives higher probability to $G \in \mathbf{G}_n$ than to $H \in \mathbf{G}_n$ if $G$ has fewer $r$-cliques than $H$. But all graphs in $\mathbf{G}_n$ have positive probability. The degree to which graphs with fewer $r$-cliques are given higher probability is determined by a positive weight $w$. We prove that, asymptotically almost surely as $n \to \infty$, a random graph from $\m

Why it matters
This model development creates a new option for users and a new testing obligation for developers. A fixed evaluation set comparing quality, cost and failure behavior is more useful than launch claims.
