Given an undirected $n$-vertex graph $G(V,E)$ and an integer $k$, let $T_k(G)$ denote the random vertex induced subgraph of $G$ generated by ordering $V$ according to a random permutation $\pi$ and including in $T_k(G)$ those vertices with…

Degree distribution, or equivalently called degree sequence, has been commonly used to be one of most significant measures for studying a large number of complex networks with which some well-known results have been obtained. By contrast,…

We show an $\widetilde{O}(m^{1.5} \epsilon^{-1})$ time algorithm that on a graph with $m$ edges and $n$ vertices outputs its spanning tree count up to a multiplicative $(1+\epsilon)$ factor with high probability, improving on the previous…

We study the minimum spanning tree distribution on the space of spanning trees of the $n$-by-$n$ grid for large $n$. We establish bounds on the decay rates of the probability of the most and the least probable spanning trees as…

The sigma-irregularity index $\sigma(G) = \sum_{uv \in E(G)} (d_G(u) - d_G(v))^2$ measures the total degree imbalance along the edges of a graph. We study extremal problems for $\sigma(T)$ within the class of trees of fixed order $n$ and…

The global structure of the minimal spanning tree (MST) is expected to be universal for a large class of underlying random discrete structures. However, very little is known about the intrinsic geometry of MSTs of most standard models, and…

In this paper, we refer to a asymptotic degree sequence as $\mathscr{D}=(d_1,d_2,\dots,d_n)$. The examination of topological indices on trees gives us a general overview through bounds to find the maximum and minimum bounds which reflect…

Let be given a graph $G=(V,E)$ whose edge set is partitioned into a set $R$ of \emph{red} edges and a set $B$ of \emph{blue} edges, and assume that red edges are weighted and form a spanning tree of $G$. Then, the \emph{Stackelberg Minimum…

We show that for every graph $G$ that contains two edge-disjoint spanning trees, we can choose two edge-disjoint spanning trees $T_1,T_2$ of $G$ such that $|d_{T_1}(v)-d_{T_2}(v)|\leq 5$ for all $v \in V(G)$. We also prove the more general…

We focus on counting the number of labeled graphs on $n$ vertices and treewidth at most $k$ (or equivalently, the number of labeled partial $k$-trees), which we denote by $T_{n,k}$. So far, only the particular cases $T_{n,1}$ and $T_{n,2}$…

We study the notion of local treewidth in sparse random graphs: the maximum treewidth over all $k$-vertex subgraphs of an $n$-vertex graph. When $k$ is not too large, we give nearly tight bounds for this local treewidth parameter; we also…
