Inspired by "quantum graphity" models for spacetime, a statistical model of graphs is proposed to explore possible realizations of emergent manifolds. Graphs with given numbers of vertices and edges are considered, governed by a very…

We show that if a sequence of dense graphs has the property that for every fixed graph F, the density of copies of F in these graphs tends to a limit, then there is a natural ``limit object'', namely a symmetric measurable 2-variable…

Meta-theorems for polynomial (linear) kernels have been the subject of intensive research in parameterized complexity. Heretofore, meta-theorems for linear kernels exist on graphs of bounded genus, $H$-minor-free graphs, and…

Let $G$ be a large (simple, unlabeled) dense graph on $n$ vertices. Suppose that we only know, or can estimate, the empirical distribution of the number of subgraphs $F$ that each vertex in $G$ participates in, for some fixed small graph…

By considering graphs as discrete analogues of Riemann surfaces, Baker and Norine (Adv. Math. 2007) developed a concept of linear systems of divisors for graphs. Building on this idea, a concept of gonality for graphs has been defined and…

In the model of randomly perturbed graphs we consider the union of a deterministic graph $\mathcal{G}_\alpha$ with minimum degree $\alpha n$ and the binomial random graph $\mathbb{G}(n,p)$. This model was introduced by Bohman, Frieze, and…

We introduce probability-graphons which are probability kernels that generalize graphons to the case of weighted graphs. Probability-graphons appear as the limit objects to study sequences of large weighted graphs whose distribution of…

Several algorithmic meta-theorems on kernelization have appeared in the last years, starting with the result of Bodlaender et al. [FOCS 2009] on graphs of bounded genus, then generalized by Fomin et al. [SODA 2010] to graphs excluding a…

We develop random graph models where graphs are generated by connecting not only pairs of vertices by edges but also larger subsets of vertices by copies of small atomic subgraphs of arbitrary topology. This allows the for the generation of…

Random K-out graphs are used in several applications including modeling by sensor networks secured by the random pairwise key predistribution scheme, and payment channel networks. The random K-out graph with $n$ nodes is constructed as…

We study the homological algebra of edge ideals of Erd\"{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs. These random graphs are generated by deleting edges of a complete graph on $n$ vertices independently of each other with probability $1-p$. We focus on some…

A natural representation of random graphs is the random measure. The collection of product random measures, their transformations, and non-negative test functions forms a general representation of the collection of non-negative weighted…

Chandrasekaran, Chertkov, Gamarnik, Shah, and Shin recently proved that the average number of independent sets of random regular graphs of size n and degree 3 approaches w^n for large n, where w is approximately 1.54563, consistent with the…

The Planar Graph Metric Compression Problem is to compactly encode the distances among $k$ nodes in a planar graph of size $n$. Two na\"ive solutions are to store the graph using $O(n)$ bits, or to explicitly store the distance matrix with…

We consider sparse inhomogeneous Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph ensembles where edges are connected independently with probability $p_{ij}$. We assume that $p_{ij}= \varepsilon_N f(w_i, w_j)$ where $(w_i)_{i\ge 1}$ is a sequence of…

Constructing a spanning tree of a graph is one of the most basic tasks in graph theory. We consider a relaxed version of this problem in the setting of local algorithms. The relaxation is that the constructed subgraph is a sparse spanning…

We consider the random geometric graph on $n$ vertices drawn uniformly from a $d$--dimensional sphere. We focus on the sparse regime, when the expected degree is constant independent of $d$ and $n$. We show that, when $d$ is larger than $n$…

Random graphs defined by an occurrence probability that is invariant under node aggregation have been identified recently in the context of network renormalization. The invariance property requires that edges are drawn with a specific…
