We study a well known noisy model of the graph isomorphism problem. In this model, the goal is to perfectly recover the vertex correspondence between two edge-correlated Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graphs, with an initial seed set of…

A key concept for many graph layout algorithms is planarity, a graph property that allows to draw vertices and edges crossing-free in the plane. Important is the generalization to $k$-planar graphs, which can be drawn in the plane with at…

The notion of nowhere dense graph classes was introduced by Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il and Ossona de Mendez and provides a robust concept of uniform sparseness of graph classes. Nowhere dense classes generalize many familiar classes of sparse graphs…

Consider the normalized adjacency matrices of random $d$-regular graphs on $N$ vertices with fixed degree $d\geq3$. We prove that, with probability $1-N^{-1+{\varepsilon}}$ for any ${\varepsilon} >0$, the following two properties hold as $N…

The tree-depth is a parameter introduced under several names as a measure of sparsity of a graph. We compute asymptotic values of the tree-depth of random graphs. For dense graphs, p>> 1/n, the tree-depth of a random graph G is a.a.s.…

Let $G_n$ be a random geometric graph with vertex set $[n]$ based on $n$ i.i.d.\ random vectors $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ drawn from an unknown density $f$ on $\R^d$. An edge $(i,j)$ is present when $\|X_i -X_j\| \le r_n$, for a given threshold…

Social networks have a small number of large hubs, and a large number of small dense communities. We propose a generative model that captures both hub and dense structures. Based on recent results about graphons on line graphs, our model is…
