A matchstick graph is a crossing-free unit-distance graph in the plane. Harborth (1981) proposed the problem of determining whether there exists a matchstick graph in which every vertex has degree exactly $5$. In 1982, Blokhuis gave a proof…

We define the Euler number of a bipartite graph on $n$ vertices to be the number of labelings of the vertices with $1,2,...,n$ such that the vertices alternate in being local maxima and local minima. We reformulate the problem of computing…

Given $t\geq 2$ and $0\leq k\leq t$, we prove that the number of labelled $k$-connected chordal graphs with $n$ vertices and tree-width at most $t$ is asymptotically $c n^{-5/2} \gamma^n n!$, as $n\to\infty$, for some constants $c,\gamma…

We give an asymptotic expression for the expected number of spanning trees in a random graph with a given degree sequence $\boldsymbol{d}=(d_1,\ldots, d_n)$, provided that the number of edges is at least $n + \textstyle{\frac{1}{2}}…

A classical result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi shows that every large $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+\gamma)n$ contains all spanning trees of bounded degree. We generalised this result to loose spanning…

We enumerate the connected graphs that contain a number of edges growing linearly with respect to the number of vertices. So far, only the first term of the asymptotics and a bound on the error were known. Using analytic combinatorics, ie…

We compute the asymptotic induced matching number of the $k$-partite $k$-uniform hypergraphs whose edges are the $k$-bit strings of Hamming weight $k/2$, for any large enough even number $k$. Our lower bound relies on the higher-order…

As a generalization of matching preclusion number of a graph, we provide the (strong) integer $k$-matching preclusion number, abbreviated as $MP^{k}$ number ($SMP^{k}$ number), which is the minimum number of edges (vertices and edges) whose…

We consider the class of directed graphs with $N\geq 1$ edges and without loops shorter than $k\geq1$. Using the concept of a labelled graph, we determine graphs from this class that maximize the number of all paths of length $k$. Then we…

We consider large random graphs with prescribed degrees, such as those generated by the configuration model. In the regime where the empirical degree distribution approaches a limit $\mu$ with finite mean, we establish the systematic…

We consider the problem of estimating the number of clusters (k) in a dataset. We propose a non-parametric approach to the problem that utilizes similarity graphs to construct a robust statistic that effectively captures similarity…

In this note we asymptotically determine the maximum number of hyperedges possible in an $r$-uniform, connected $n$-vertex hypergraph without a Berge path of length $k$, as $n$ and $k$ tend to infinity. We show that, unlike in the graph…

We study the following inverse graph-theoretic problem: how many vertices should a graph have given that it has a specified value of some parameter. We obtain asymptotic for the minimal number of vertices of the graph with the given number…

In random graph models, the degree distribution of an individual node should be distinguished from the (empirical) degree distribution of the graph that records the fractions of nodes with given degree. We introduce a general framework to…

We deal with a random graph model where at each step, a vertex is chosen uniformly at random, and it is either duplicated or its edges are deleted. Duplication has a given probability. We analyse the limit distribution of the degree of a…

A complete subgraph of any simple graph $G$ on $k$ vertices is called a $k$-\emph{clique} of $G$. In this paper, we first introduce the concept of the value of a $k$-clique ($k>1$) as an extension of the idea of the degree of a given…
