Revolutionaries and spies on random graphs
  Pursuit-evasion games, such as the game of Revolutionaries and Spies, are a simplified model for network security. In the game we consider in this paper, a team of $r$ revolutionaries tries to hold an unguarded meeting consisting of $m$ revolutionaries. A team of $s$ spies wants to prevent this forever. For given $r$ and $m$, the minimum number of spies required to win on a graph $G$ is the spy number $\sigma(G,r,m)$. We present asymptotic results for the game played on random graphs $G(n,p)$ for a large range of $p = p(n), r=r(n)$, and $m=m(n)$. The behaviour of the spy number is analyzed completely for dense graphs (that is, graphs with average degree at least $n^{1/2+\eps}$ for some $\eps > 0$). For sparser graphs, some bounds are provided.
