We prove tight bounds on the site percolation threshold for $k$-uniform hypergraphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ and for $k$-uniform hypergraphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ in which any pair of edges overlaps in at most $r$ vertices. The…

We prove that any graph $G$ with $n$ points has a distribution $\mathcal{T}$ over spanning trees such that for any edge $(u,v)$ the expected stretch $E_{T \sim \mathcal{T}}[d_T(u,v)/d_G(u,v)]$ is bounded by $\tilde{O}(\log n)$. Our result…

We prove that for fixed $k$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices and of minimum codegree at least $n/2+o(n)$ contains every spanning tight $k$-tree of bounded vertex degree as a sub\-graph. This generalises a well-known result of…

In the complete graph on n vertices, when each edge has a weight which is an exponential random variable, Frieze proved that the minimum spanning tree has weight tending to zeta(3)=1/1^3+1/2^3+1/3^3+... as n goes to infinity. We consider…

Let $T$ be a tree. A vertex of degree one is a \emph{leaf} of $T$ and a vertex of degree at least three is a \emph{branch vertex} of $T$. A graph is said to be \emph{$K_{1,4}$-free} if it does not contain $K_{1,4}$ as an induced subgraph.…

We study bond percolation for a family of infinite hyperbolic graphs. We relate percolation to the appearance of homology in finite versions of these graphs. As a consequence, we derive an upper bound on the critical probabilities of the…

We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding…

We give an Ore-type condition sufficient for a graph G to have a spanning tree with small degrees and with few leaves.

In this paper, we study the problem of finding a minimum weight spanning tree that contains each vertex in a given subset $V_{\rm NT}$ of vertices as an internal vertex. This problem, called Minimum Weight Non-Terminal Spanning Tree,…

The general communication tree embedding problem is the problem of mapping a set of communicating terminals, represented by a graph G, into the set of vertices of some physical network represented by a tree T. In the case where the vertices…

Working with tree graphs is always easier than with loopy ones and spanning trees are the closest tree-like structures to a given graph. We find a correspondence between the solutions of random K-satisfiability problem and those of spanning…

Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $C$ of unordered pairs of edges regarded as being in conflict, a stable spanning tree in $G$ is a set of edges $T$ inducing a spanning tree in $G$, such that for each $\left\lbrace e_i, e_j \right\rbrace…

In this paper we characterize the unique graph whose algebraic connectivity is minimum among all connected graphs with given order and fixed matching number or edge covering number, and present two lower bounds for the algebraic…

We establish several contraction formulas for Kirchhoff index. We relate Kirchhoff index with some other metrized graph invariants. By applying our contraction formulas successively when the graph is a tree, we derive new formulas for…

Limits of graphs were initiated recently in the two extreme contexts of dense and bounded degree graphs. This led to elegant limiting structures called graphons and graphings. These approach have been unified and generalized by authors in a…

We prove local convergence results for the uniformly random, labelled or unlabelled, graphs from subcritical families. As an example special case, we prove Benjamini-Schramm convergence for the uniform random unlabelled tree. We introduce a…

In this paper, we study some spanning trees with bounded degree and leaf degree from eigenvalues. For any integer $k\geq2$, a $k$-tree is a spanning tree in which every vertex has degree no more than $k$. Let $T$ be a spanning tree of a…

On a compact metric graph, we consider the spectrum of the Laplacian defined with a mix of standard and Dirichlet vertex conditions. A Cheeger-type lower bound on the gap $\lambda_2 - \lambda_1$ is established, with a constant that depends…

We present new short proofs of known spanning tree enumeration formulae for threshold and Ferrers graphs by showing that the Laplacian matrices of such graphs admit triangular rank-one perturbations. We then characterize the set of graphs…

Let $T$ be a tree, a vertex of degree one is a \emph{leaf} of $T$ and a vertex of degree at least three is a \emph{branch vertex} of $T$. The {\it reducible stem } of $T$ is the smallest subtree that contains all branch vertices of $T$. In…
