A set $D$ of vertices of a simple graph $G=(V,E)$ is a strong dominating set, if for every vertex $x\in \overline{D}=V\setminus D$ there is a vertex $y\in D$ with $xy\in E(G)$ and $deg(x)\leq deg(y)$. The strong domination number…

Two models of a random digraph on $n$ vertices, $D(n,\text{Prob}(\text{arc})=p)$ and $D(n,\text{number of arcs}=m)$ are studied. In 1990, Karp for $D(n,p)$ and independently T. \L uczak for $D(n,m=cn)$ proved that for $c>1$, with…

Let d \geq d_0 be a sufficiently large constant. A (n,d,c \sqrt{d}) graph G is a d-regular graph over n vertices whose second largest (in absolute value) eigenvalue is at most c \sqrt{d}. For any 0 < p < 1, G_p is the graph induced by…

The bivariate distribution of degrees of adjacent vertices (degree-degree distribution) is an important network characteristic defining the statistical dependencies between degrees of adjacent vertices. We show the asymptotic degree-degree…

In this paper, we study the critical behavior of percolation on a configuration model with degree distribution satisfying an infinite second-moment condition, which includes power-law degrees with exponent $\tau \in (2,3)$. It is well known…

The $k$-core of a graph is the largest subgraph of minimum degree at least $k$. We show that for $k$ sufficiently large, the $(k + 2)$-core of a random graph $\G(n,p)$ asymptotically almost surely has a spanning $k$-regular subgraph. Thus…

We study the appearance of the giant component in random subgraphs of a given large finite graph G=(V,E) in which each edge is present independently with probability p. We show that if G is an expander with vertices of bounded degree, then…

We describe the structure of those graphs that have largest spectral radius in the class of all connected graphs with a given degree sequence. We show that in such a graph the degree sequence is non-increasing with respect to an ordering of…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. A subset $D$ of $V(G)$ is called a super dominating set if for every $v \in V(G)-D$ there exists an external private neighbour of $v$ with respect to $V(G)-D.$ The minimum cardinality of a super dominating set is…

We derive a simple formula characterizing the distribution of the size of the connected component of a fixed vertex in the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph which allows us to give elementary proofs of some results of Federico, van der…

A subset $M$ of the edges of a graph $G$ is a matching if no two edges in $M$ are incident. A maximal matching is a matching that is not contained in a larger matching. A subset $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertices is a…

We show that in the random hyperbolic graph model as formalized by Gugelmann et al. in the most interesting range of $\frac12 < \alpha < 1$ the size of the second largest component is $\Theta((\log n)^{1/(1-\alpha)})$, thus answering a…

We prove that the maximum degree $\Delta_n$ of a random series-parallel graph with $n$ vertices satisfies $\Delta_n/\log n \to c$ in probability, and $\mathbb{E}\, \Delta_n \sim c \log n$ for a computable constant $c>0$. The same result…

We prove a metric space scaling limit for a critical random graph with independent and identically distributed degrees having power-law tail behaviour with exponent $\alpha+1$, where $\alpha \in (1,2)$. The limiting components are…

We consider vertex partitions of the binomial random graph $G_{n,p}$. For $np\to\infty$, we observe the following phenomenon: in any partition into asymptotically fewer than $\chi(G_{n,p})$ parts, i.e. $o(np/\log np)$ parts, one part must…

We consider a model for random hypergraphs with identifiability, an analogue of connectedness. This model has a phase transition in the proportion of identifiable vertices when the underlying random graph becomes critical. The phase…

Let ccl(G) denote the order of the largest complete minor in a graph G (also called the contraction clique number) and let G(n,p) denote a random graph on n vertices with edge probability p. Bollobas, Catlin and Erdos asymptotically…

We prove that for every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and with minimum degree five, the domination number $\gamma(G)$ cannot exceed $n/3$. The proof combines an algorithmic approach and the discharging method. Using the same technique, we…

In a directed graph $D$, a vertex subset $S\subseteq V$ is a total dominating set if every vertex of $D$ has an in-neighbor from $S$. A total dominating set exists if and only if every vertex has at least one in-neighbor. We call the…

We study upper bounds on the size of optimum locating-total dominating sets in graphs. A set $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ is a locating-total dominating set if every vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $S$, and if any two vertices outside $S$…
