In this manuscript we develop a version of Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma that is suitable for analyzing multicolorings of complete graphs and directed graphs. In this, we follow the proof of Alon, Fischer, Krivelevich and M. Szegedy…

The Vapnik-\v{C}ervonenkis dimension is a complexity measure of set-systems, or hypergraphs. Its application to graphs is usually done by considering the sets of neighborhoods of the vertices (cf. Alon et al. (2006) and Chepoi, Estellon,…

We prove a variant of the abstract probabilistic version of Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma, due to Tao, which applies to a number of structures (including graphs, hypergraphs, hypercubes, graphons, and many more) and works for random…

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…

In this note, we consider Szemer\'{e}di's theorem on $k$-term arithmetic progressions over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_p^n$, where the allowed set $S$ of common differences in these progressions is chosen randomly of fixed size. Combining a…

We give a simple and natural (probabilistic) construction of hypergraph regularization. It is done just by taking a constant-bounded number of random vertex samplings only one time (thus, iteration-free). It is independent from the…

This article gives an overview of the emerging literature on large deviations for random graphs. Written for the general mathematical audience, the article begins with a short introduction to the theory of large deviations. This is followed…

A common theme in many extremal problems in graph theory is the relation between local and global properties of graphs. One of the most celebrated results of this type is the Ruzsa-Szemer\'edi triangle removal lemma, which states that if a…

For any family of measurable sets in a probability space, we show that either (i) the family has infinite Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension or (ii) for every epsilon > 0 there is a finite partition pi such the pi-boundary of each set has…

A method for compression of large graphs and non-negative matrices to a block structure is proposed. Szemer\'edi's regularity lemma is used as heuristic motivation of the significance of stochastic block models. Another ingredient of the…

A regular graph $G = (V,E)$ is an $(\varepsilon,\gamma)$ small-set expander if for any set of vertices of fractional size at most $\varepsilon$, at least $\gamma$ of the edges that are adjacent to it go outside. In this paper, we give a…

A result of Simonovits and S\'os states that for any fixed graph $H$ and any $\epsilon > 0$ there exists $\delta > 0$ such that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph with the property that every $S \subseteq V(G)$ contains $p^{e(H)} |S|^{v(H)} \pm…

We study the VC-dimension of the set system on the vertex set of some graph which is induced by the family of its $k$-connected subgraphs. In particular, we give tight upper and lower bounds for the VC-dimension. Moreover, we show that…

Large graphs are sometimes studied through their degree sequences (power law or regular graphs). We study graphs that are uniformly chosen with a given degree sequence. Under mild conditions, it is shown that sequences of such graphs have…

We investigate the asymptotic rates of length-$n$ binary codes with VC-dimension at most $dn$ and minimum distance at least $\delta n$. Two upper bounds are obtained, one as a simple corollary of a result by Haussler and the other via a…

Uniform laws of large numbers form a cornerstone of Vapnik--Chervonenkis theory, where they are characterized by the finiteness of the VC dimension. In this work, we study uniform convergence phenomena in cartesian product spaces, under…
