Popis: Warning Propagation is a combinatorial message passing algorithm that unifies and generalises a wide variety of recursive combinatorial procedures. Special cases include the Unit Clause Propagation and Pure Literal algorithms for satisfiability as well as the peeling process for identifying the $k$-core of a random graph. Here we analyse Warning Propagation in full generality on a very general class of multi-type random graphs. We prove that under mild assumptions on the random graph model and the stability of the the message limit, Warning Propagation converges rapidly. In effect, the analysis of the fixed point of the message passing process on a random graph reduces to analysing the process on a multi-type Galton-Watson tree. This result corroborates and generalises a heuristic first put forward by Pittel, Spencer and Wormald in their seminal $k$-core paper (JCTB 1996).
Comment: Some adaptation is needed for definition 2.2 but the main result remains valid. The change in the definition and the ensuing change in the rest of the paper will be carried out in the near future. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2102.00970
