We consider the family of graphs whose vertex set is $\mathbb{Z}^n$ where two vertices are connected by an edge when their $\ell_\infty$-distance is 1. Towards an edge isoperimetric inequality for this graph, we calculate the edge boundary…
We confirm the long-standing prediction that $c=e\approx 2.718$ is the threshold for the emergence of a non-vanishing absolutely continuous part (extended states) at zero in the limiting spectrum of the Erd\H{o}s-Renyi random graph with…
We present a new notion of limits of weighted directed graphs of growing size based on convergence of their random quotients. These limits are specified in terms of random exchangeable measures on the unit square. We call our limits…
Over all graphs (or unicyclic graphs) of a given order, we characterise those graphs that minimise or maximise the number of connected induced subgraphs. For each of these classes, we find that the graphs that minimise the number of…
The recent theory of graph limits gives a powerful framework for understanding the properties of suitable (convergent) sequences $(G_n)$ of graphs in terms of a limiting object which may be represented by a symmetric function $W$ on…
In 1980, Thomassen stated his weak linkage conjecture: for an odd positive integer k, if a graph G is k-edge-connected, then, for any collection of k pairs of vertices {s_1,t_1}, ..., {s_k,t_k} in G, not necessarily distinct, there are…
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…
The error exponent in lossy source coding characterizes the asymptotic decay rate of error probability with respect to blocklength. The Marton's error exponent provides the theoretically optimal bound on this rate. However, computation…
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…
Using the theory of $L^p$-graphons (Borgs et al, 2014), we derive and rigorously justify the continuum limit for systems of differential equations on sparse random graphs. Specifically, we show that the solutions of the initial value…
A paradigm that was successfully applied in the study of both pure and algorithmic problems in graph theory can be colloquially summarized as stating that "any graph is close to being the disjoint union of expanders". Our goal in this paper…
We analyze the convergence of the spectrum of large random graphs to the spectrum of a limit infinite graph. We apply these results to graphs converging locally to trees and derive a new formula for the Stieljes transform of the spectral…
A matching is a set of edges in a graph with no common endpoint. A matching M is called acyclic if the induced subgraph on the endpoints of the edges in M is acyclic. Given a graph G and an integer k, Acyclic Matching Problem seeks for an…
We consider the problem of perfectly recovering the vertex correspondence between two correlated Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi (ER) graphs. For a pair of correlated graphs on the same vertex set, the correspondence between the vertices can be obscured…
We give an FPTAS for computing the number of matchings of size $k$ in a graph $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ on $n$ vertices, for all $k \le (1-\delta)m^*(G)$, where $\delta>0$ is fixed and $m^*(G)$ is the matching number of $G$, and an…
A graphon is a limiting object used to describe the behaviour of large networks through a function that captures the probability of edge formation between nodes. Although the merits of graphons to describe large and unlabelled networks are…
The spectral radius of a graph is the spectral radius of its adjacency matrix. A threshold graph is a simple graph whose vertices can be ordered as $v_1, v_2, \ldots, v_n$, so that for each $2 \le i \le n$, vertex $v_i$ is either adjacent…
We consider the problem of sampling a proper $k$-coloring of a graph of maximal degree $\Delta$ uniformly at random. We describe a new Markov chain for sampling colorings, and show that it mixes rapidly on graphs of bounded treewidth if…
A $k$-edge-coloured graph is colour-balanced if each colour appears equally often. Resolving a conjecture of Pardey and Rautenbach, we show that any colour-balanced $k$-edge-coloured complete graph $K_{2kt}$ contains a perfect matching that…
We determine the asymptotic behavior of the maximum subgraph density of large random graphs with a prescribed degree sequence. The result applies in particular to the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi model, where it settles a conjecture of Hajek [IEEE…
