A graphon is said to have the $H$-property if a random undirected graph $G_n$ on $n$ nodes sampled from it has a node-wise disjoint cycle cover almost surely as $n\to\infty$. It has been shown in the earlier work that the $H$-property obeys…

A graph $G$ is $H$-free if it does not contain an induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. The study of the typical structure of $H$-free graphs was initiated by Erd\H{o}s, Kleitman and Rothschild, who have shown that almost all $C_3$-free…

Let $F=\{H_1,...,H_k\}$ be a family of graphs. A graph $G$ with $m$ edges is called {\em totally $F$-decomposable} if for {\em every} linear combination of the form $\alpha_1 e(H_1) + ... + \alpha_k e(H_k) = m$ where each $\alpha_i$ is a…

A bipartite graph $H$ is said to have Sidorenko's property if the probability that the uniform random mapping from $V(H)$ to the vertex set of any graph $G$ is a homomorphism is at least the product over all edges in $H$ of the probability…

Given a graph $G$ and an integer $r\ge 1$, the $r$th power $G^r$ of $G$ is the graph obtained from $G$ by adding edges for all pairs of distinct vertices at distance at most $r$ from each other. We focus on two basic structural properties…

The $H$-join of a family of graphs $\mathcal{G}=\{G_1, \dots, G_p\}$, also called the generalized composition, $H[G_1, \dots, G_p]$, where all graphs are undirected, simple and finite, is the graph obtained by replacing each vertex $i$ of…

The emerging theory of graph limits exhibits an analytic perspective on graphs, showing that many important concepts and tools in graph theory and its applications can be described more naturally (and sometimes proved more easily) in…

A dominating set in a graph is a set of vertices with the property that every vertex in the graph is either in the set or adjacent to something in the set. The domination sequence of the graph is the sequence whose $k$th term is the number…

This work provides a structural characterisation of hereditary graph classes that do not contain a star forest, several graphs obtained from star forests by subset complementation, a union of cliques, and the complement of a union of…

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…

A total dominating set in a graph is a set of vertices such that every vertex of the graph has a neighbor in the set. We introduce and study graphs that admit non-negative real weights associated to their vertices such that a set of…

For a graph property $\mathcal{P}$ and a common vertex set $V = \{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$, a family of graphs on $V$ is \emph{$\mathcal{P}$-intersecting} iff $G \cap H$ satisfies $\mathcal{P}$ for all $G,H$ in the family. Addressing a question…

In the inhomogeneous random graph model, each vertex $i\in\{1,\ldots,n\}$ is assigned a weight $W_i\sim\text{Unif}(0,1)$, and an edge between any two vertices $i,j$ is present with probability $k(W_i,W_j)/\lambda_n\in[0,1]$, where $k$ is a…

The speed of a graph class $\cal G$ measures how many labeled graphs on $n$ vertices one can find in $\cal G$. This graph class complexity function is explicitly provided on graphclasses.org. However, for many graph classes, their speed…
