We define notions of local topological convergence and local geometric convergence for embedded graphs in $\mathbb{R}^n,$ and study their properties. The former is related to Benjamini-Schramm convergence, and the latter to weak convergence…
We give combinatorial proofs of some enumeration formulas involving labelled threshold, quasi-threshold, loop-threshold and quasi-loop-threshold graphs. In each case we count by number of vertices and number of components. For threshold…
A new graph invariant called the secure vertex cover pebbling number, which is a combination of two graph invariants, namely secure vertex cover and cover pebbling number, is introduced in this paper. The secure vertex cover pebbling number…
The scramble number of a graph, a natural generalization of bramble number, is an invariant recently developed to study chip-firing games and graph gonality. We introduce the carton number of a graph, defined to be the minimum size of a…
Let $P \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2$ be a set of points and $T$ be a spanning tree of $P$. The \emph{stabbing number} of $T$ is the maximum number of intersections any line in the plane determines with the edges of $T$. The \emph{tree stabbing…
Untangling is a process in which some vertices of a planar graph are moved to obtain a straight-line plane drawing. The aim is to move as few vertices as possible. We present an algorithm that untangles the cycle graph C_n while keeping at…
The restricted edge pebbling distribution is a distribution of pebbles on the edges of $G$ is the placement of pebbles on the edges with the restriction that only an even number of pebbles should be placed on the edges with labels $0$.…
Let $G$ be a connected graph. A pebbling move is defined as taking two pebbles from one vertex and placing one pebble to an adjacent vertex and throwing away the other pebble. The non-split domination cover pebbling number, $\psi_{ns}(G)$,…
A metric probability space $M$ admits thresholds if the random geometric graph on $M$ has a threshold for every monotone graph property. We connect the existence of thresholds to the uniform expansion of $M$ and prove that all standard…
This is an investigation of the role of shuffling and concatenating in the theory of graph drawing. A simple syntactic description of these and related operations is proved complete in the context of finite partial orders, as general as…
We define three new pebbling parameters of a connected graph $G$, the $r$-, $g$-, and $u$-critical pebbling numbers. Together with the pebbling number, the optimal pebbling number, the number of vertices $n$ and the diameter $d$ of the…
Random walk on changing graphs is considered. For sequences of finite graphs increasing monotonically towards a limiting infinite graph, we establish transition probability upper bounds. It yields sufficient transience criteria for simple…
We construct an example of a bounded degree, nonamenable, unimodular random rooted graph with $p_c=p_u$ for Bernoulli bond percolation, as well as an example of a bounded degree, unimodular random rooted graph with $p_c<1$ but with an…
We study limits of convergent sequences of string graphs, that is, graphs with an intersection representation consisting of curves in the plane. We use these results to study the limiting behavior of a sequence of random string graphs. We…
In the game of pegging, each vertex of a graph is considered a hole into which a peg can be placed. A pegging move is performed by jumping one peg over another peg, and then removing the peg that has been jumped over from the graph. We…
We study the limit theory of large threshold graphs and apply this to a variety of models for random threshold graphs. The results give a nice set of examples for the emerging theory of graph limits.
A pebbling move on a graph removes two pebbles at a vertex and adds one pebble at an adjacent vertex. Rubbling is a version of pebbling where an additional move is allowed. In this new move, one pebble each is removed at vertices $v$ and…
We establish an exactly tight relation between reversible pebblings of graphs and Nullstellensatz refutations of pebbling formulas, showing that a graph $G$ can be reversibly pebbled in time $t$ and space $s$ if and only if there is a…
A threshold graph is any graph which can be constructed from the empty graph by repeatedly adding a new vertex that is either adjacent to every vertex or to no vertices. The Eulerian number $\genfrac{\langle}{\rangle}{0pt}{}{n}{k}$ counts…
The pebble motion problem (PMP) asks whether one configuration of labeled pebbles on a graph can be transformed into another by moving pebbles to adjacent unoccupied vertices. It is a fundamental model of graph reconfiguration and is…
