A classical result of Erd\H{o}s and Gallai determines the maximum size $m(n,\nu)$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ and matching number $\nu n$. We show that $G$ has factorially many maximum matchings provided that its size is sufficiently close…

The existence of $1$-factorizations of an infinite complete equipartite graph $K_m[n]$ (with $m$ parts of size $n$) admitting a vertex-regular automorphism group $G$ is known only when $n=1$ and $m$ is countable (that is, for countable…

Suppose $k\nmid n$ and $H$ is an $n$-vertex $k$-uniform hypergraph. A near perfect matching in $H$ is a matching of size $\lfloor n/k\rfloor$. We give a divisibility barrier construction that prevents the existence of near perfect matchings…

This paper studies the problem of recovering the hidden vertex correspondence between two edge-correlated random graphs. We focus on the Gaussian model where the two graphs are complete graphs with correlated Gaussian weights and the…

Let $\mathcal{H} \subseteq \binom{[n]}{r}$ be an $r$-uniform hypergraph on vertex set $[n] = \{1,2,\dots, n\}$. For an $r$-set of vertices $S \subseteq [n]$, the \emph{degree} of $S$ is defined as $\textrm{deg}(S)=\sum_{v \in…

We consider the isomorphism problem for hypergraphs taking as input two hypergraphs over the same set of vertices $V$ and a permutation group $\Gamma$ over domain $V$, and asking whether there is a permutation $\gamma \in \Gamma$ that…

An odd $[1,b]$-factor of a graph $G$ is a spanning subgraph $H$ such that for each vertex $v \in V(G)$, $d_H(v)$ is odd and $1\le d_H(v) \le b$. Let $\lambda_3(G)$ be the third largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of $G$. For positive…

Given $k\ge 2$ and two $k$-graphs ($k$-uniform hypergraphs) $F$ and $H$, an $F$-factor in $H$ is a set of vertex-disjoint copies of $F$ that together covers the vertex set of $H$. Lenz and Mubayi [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 2016] studied the…

For $d \ge 1$, $s \ge 0$ a $(d, d+s)$-{\em graph} is a graph whose degrees all lie in the interval $\{d, d+1, \ldots, d + s\}$. For $r \ge 1$, $a \ge 0$, an $(r, r+a)$-{\em factor} of a graph $G$ is a spanning $(r, r+a)$-subgraph of $G$. An…

A perfect $K_r$-tiling in a graph $G$ is a collection of vertex-disjoint copies of the graph $K_r$ in $G$ that covers all vertices of $G$. In this paper, we prove that the threshold for the existence of a perfect $K_{r}$-tiling of a…

Let $\mbox{odd}(G)$ and $i(G)$ denote the number of nontrivial odd components and the number of isolated vertices of a graph $G$, respectively. The $k$-Berge-Tutte-formula of a graph $G$ is defined as:…

We consider a natural variant of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph process in which $k$ vertices are special and are never put into the same connected component. The model is natural and interesting on its own, but is actually inspired by…

Consider the random process in which the edges of a graph $G$ are added one by one in a random order. A classical result states that if $G$ is the complete graph $K_{2n}$ or the complete bipartite graph $K_{n,n}$, then typically a perfect…

A {\it star-factor} of a graph $G$ is a spanning subgraph of $G$ such that each of its component is a star. Clearly, every graph without isolated vertices has a star factor. A graph $G$ is called {\it star-uniform} if all star-factors of…

For a connected graph $G$, let $\mu(G)$ denote the distance spectral radius of $G$. A matching in a graph $G$ is a set of disjoint edges of $G$. The maximum size of a matching in $G$ is called the matching number of $G$, denoted by…

We propose the following model of a random graph on n vertices. Let F be a distribution in R_+^{n(n-1)/2} with a coordinate for every pair i$ with 1 \le i,j \le n. Then G_{F,p} is the distribution on graphs with n vertices obtained by…

We propose a universal approach to a range of enumeration problems in graphs. The key point is in contracting suitably chosen symmetric tensors placed at the vertices of a graph along the edges. In particular, this leads to an algorithm…

For fixed integers $r,\ell \geq 0$, a graph $G$ is called an {\em $(r,\ell)$-graph} if the vertex set $V(G)$ can be partitioned into $r$ independent sets and $\ell$ cliques. The class of $(r, \ell)$ graphs generalizes $r$-colourable graphs…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, let $G {\displaystyle\smash{\begin{subarray}{c} \hbox{$\tiny\rm rb$} \\ \longrightarrow \\ \hbox{$\tiny\rm p$} \end{subarray}}}H$ denote the property that for every proper edge-colouring of $G$ there is a rainbow $H$…

The classical Andr\'{a}sfai--Erd\H{o}s--S\'{o}s Theorem states that for $\ell\ge 2$, every $n$-vertex $K_{\ell+1}$-free graph with minimum degree greater than $\frac{3\ell-4}{3\ell-1}n$ must be $\ell$-partite. We establish a simple…
