We propose a notion of graph convergence that interpolates between the Benjamini--Schramm convergence of bounded degree graphs and the dense graph convergence developed by L\'aszl\'o Lov\'asz and his coauthors. We prove that spectra of…

We use the theory of graph limits to study several quasi-random properties, mainly dealing with various versions of hereditary subgraph counts. The main idea is to transfer the properties of (sequences of) graphs to properties of graphons,…

We give a linear-time algorithm that approximately uniformly generates a random simple graph with a power-law degree sequence whose exponent is at least 2.8811. While sampling graphs with power-law degree sequence of exponent at least 3 is…

A classical result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi states that every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+ o(1))n$ contains every $n$-vertex tree with maximum degree $O(n/\log{n})$ as a subgraph, and the bounds on…

Let $\mathbb{G}^{D}$ be the set of graphs $G(V,\, E)$ with $\left|V\right|=n$, and the degree sequence equal to $D=(d_{1},\, d_{2},\,\dots,\, d_{n})$. In addition, for $\frac{1}{2}<a<1$, we define the set of graphs with an almost given…

Clustering algorithms for large networks typically use modularity values to test which partitions of the vertex set better represent structure in the data. The modularity of a graph is the maximum modularity of a partition. We consider the…

An identifying code of a graph is a dominating set which uniquely determines all the vertices by their neighborhood within the code. Whereas graphs with large minimum degree have small domination number, this is not the case for the…

We consider numbers and sizes of independent sets in graphs with minimum degree at least $d$, when the number $n$ of vertices is large. In particular we investigate which of these graphs yield the maximum numbers of independent sets of…

Theoretical analyses for graph learning methods often assume a complete observation of the input graph. Such an assumption might not be useful for handling any-size graphs due to the scalability issues in practice. In this work, we develop…

This article provides sharp bounds for the maximum number of edges possible in a simple graph with restricted values of two of the three parameters, namely, maxi- mum matching size, independence number and maximum degree. We also construct…

Let $\mathbf G$ be a graphing, that is a Borel graph defined by $d$ measure preserving involutions. We prove that if $\mathbf G$ is {\em treeable} then it arises as the local limit of some sequence $(G_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ of graphs with…

If $\Gamma$ is a graph for which every edge is in exactly one clique of order $\omega$, then one can form a new graph with vertex set equal to these cliques. This is a generalization of the line graph of $\Gamma$. We discover many general…

We study maximum likelihood estimation in Gaussian graphical models from a geometric point of view. An algebraic elimination criterion allows us to find exact lower bounds on the number of observations needed to ensure that the maximum…

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…

Subgraphs such as cliques, loops and stars form crucial connections in the topologies of real-world networks. Random graph models provide estimates for how often certain subgraphs appear, which in turn can be tested against real-world…
