We consider the task of detecting a hidden bipartite subgraph in a given random graph. This is formulated as a hypothesis testing problem, under the null hypothesis, the graph is a realization of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph over $n$…

Packing graphs is a combinatorial problem where several given graphs are being mapped into a common host graph such that every edge is used at most once. In the planar tree packing problem we are given two trees T1 and T2 on n vertices and…

An $r$-matching in a graph $G$ is a collection of edges in $G$ such that the distance between any two edges is at least $r$. A $2$-matching is also called an induced matching. In this paper, we estimate the maximum number of $r$-matchings…

We study the asymptotic behavior of the clique number in rank-1 inhomogeneous random graphs, where edge probabilities between vertices are roughly proportional to the product of their vertex weights. We show that the clique number is…

The rank of a graph is defined to be the rank of its adjacency matrix. A graph is called reduced if it has no isolated vertices and no two vertices with the same set of neighbors. Akbari, Cameron, and Khosrovshahi conjectured that the…

A tensor network is a product of tensors associated with vertices of some graph $G$ such that every edge of $G$ represents a summation (contraction) over a matching pair of indexes. It was shown recently by Valiant, Cai, and Choudhary that…

Hypergraph data are often projected onto a weighted graph by constructing an adjacency matrix whose $(i,j)$ entry counts the number of hyperedges containing both nodes $i$ and $j$. This reduction is computationally convenient, but it can…

Emergence of dominating cliques in Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph model ${\bbbg(n,p)}$ is investigated in this paper. It is shown this phenomenon possesses a phase transition. Namely, we have argued that, given a constant probability $p$, an…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph of order $n$ and let $1\leq k< n$ be an integer. The $k$-token graph of $G$ is the graph whose vertices are all the $k$-subsets of $V$, two of which are adjacent whenever their symmetric difference is a pair of…

Let $B$ and $R$ be two simple graphs with vertex set $V$, and let $G(B,R)$ be the simple graph with vertex set $V$, in which two vertices are adjacent if they are adjacent in at least one of $B$ and $R$. For $X \subseteq V$, we denote by…

The $k$th power of a graph $G$, denoted $G^k$, has the same vertex set as $G$, and two vertices are adjacent in $G^k$ if and only if there exists a path between them in $G$ of length at most $k$. A $K_r$-factor in a graph is a spanning…

The clique cover number of a graph G is the minimum number of cliques required to cover the edges of graph G. In this paper we consider the random graph G(n,p), for p constant. We prove that with probability 1-o(1), the clique number of…

For a connected graph, a vertex separator is a set of vertices whose removal creates at least two components. A vertex separator $S$ is minimal if it contains no other separator as a strict subset and a minimum vertex separator is a minimal…

In the well known planted clique problem, a clique (or alternatively, an independent set) of size $k$ is planted at random in an Erdos-Renyi random $G(n, p)$ graph, and the goal is to design an algorithm that finds the maximum clique (or…

Given a `genus' function $g=g(n)$, we let $\mathcal{E}^g$ be the class of all graphs $G$ such that if $G$ has order $n$ (that is, has $n$ vertices) then it is embeddable in a surface of Euler genus at most $g(n)$. Let the random graph $R_n$…

We say that a hereditary graph class $\mathcal{G}$ is \emph{clique-sparse} if there is a constant $k=k(\mathcal{G})$ such that for every graph $G\in\mathcal{G}$, every vertex of $G$ belongs to at most $k$ maximal cliques, and any maximal…
