On a conjecture of Godsil concerning controllable random graphs

Abstract

It is conjectured by Godsil that the relative number of controllable graphs compared to the total number of simple graphs on n vertices approaches one as n tends to infinity. We prove that this conjecture is true. More generally, our methods show that the linear system formed from the pair (W, b) is controllable for a large class of Wigner random matrices W and deterministic vectors b. The proof relies on recent advances in Littlewood-Offord theory developed by Rudelson and Vershynin.
