Reidl, S\'anchez Villaamil, and Stravopoulos (2019) characterized graph classes of bounded expansion as follows: A class $\mathcal{C}$ closed under subgraphs has bounded expansion if and only if there exists a function $f:\mathbb{N} \to…
The Kneser graph $K(n, k)$ has as vertices all $k$-element subsets of $[n]=\{1,2,...,n \}$ and an edge between any two vertices that are disjoint. If $n=2k+1$, then $K(n, k)$ is called an odd graph. Let $ n >4$ and $1< k < \frac{n}{2} $. In…
Expander graphs are highly connected sparse finite graphs. They play an important role in computer science as basic building blocks for network constructions, error correcting codes, algorithms and more. In recent years they have started to…
The question of finding expander graphs with strong vertex expansion properties such as unique neighbor expansion and lossless expansion is central to computer science. A barrier to constructing these is that strong notions of expansion…
Let m and r be two integers. Let G be a connected r-regular graph of order n and k an integer depending on m and r. For even kn, we find a best upper bound (in terms of r and m) on the third largest eigenvalue that is sufficient to…
An edge (vertex) cut $X$ of $G$ is $r$-essential if $G-X$ has two components each of which has at least $r$ edges. A graph $G$ is $r$-essentially $k$-edge-connected (resp. $k$-connected) if it has no $r$-essential edge (resp. vertex) cuts…
We generalize the zig-zag product construction to produce infinite families of regular graphs of any constant degree. We analyze the second largest eigenvalue of this new zig-zag product to show that the modified zig-zag product of good…
In this paper we prove several results on Ramsey numbers $R(H,F)$ for a fixed graph $H$ and a large graph $F$, in particular for $F = K_n$. These results extend earlier work of Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp and of Balister, Schelp…
Explicit construction of Ramsey graphs has remained a challenging open problem for a long time. Frankl--Wilson \cite{FW}, Alon \cite{A} and Grolmusz \cite{G2} gave the best explicit constructions of graphs on $m$ vertices with no clique or…
A nut graph is a non-trivial simple graph such that its adjacency matrix has a one-dimensional null space spanned by a full vector. It was recently shown by the authors that there exists a $d$-regular circulant nut graph of order $n$ if and…
Let $K_m^{(3)}$ denote the complete $3$-uniform hypergraph on $m$ vertices and $S_n^{(3)}$ the $3$-uniform hypergraph on $n+1$ vertices consisting of all $\binom{n}{2}$ edges incident to a given vertex. Whereas many hypergraph Ramsey…
A graph is $k$-gap-planar if it has a drawing in the plane such that every crossing can be charged to one of the two edges involved so that at most $k$ crossings are charged to each edge. We show this class of graphs has linear expansion.…
After seeing how questions on the finer distribution of prime factorization -- considered inaccessible until recently -- reduce to bounding the norm of an operator defined on a graph describing factorization, we will show how to bound that…
Graph symmetries intervene in diverse applications, from enumeration, to graph structure compression, to the discovery of graph dynamics (e.g., node arrival order inference). Whereas Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs are typically asymmetric, real…
We prove the following theorem. Let $r\ge 4$ be an integer, and $G$ be a $K_{1,r}$-free $r$-edge-connected $r$-regular graph. Then, for every set $W$ of even number of vertices of $G$ such that the distance between any two vertices of $W$…
We show that every sufficiently large plane triangulation has a large collection of nested cycles that either are pairwise disjoint, or pairwise intersect in exactly one vertex, or pairwise intersect in exactly two vertices. We apply this…
A regular equivalence between two graphs $\Gamma,\Gamma'$ is a pair of uniformly proper Lipschitz maps $V\Gamma\to V\Gamma'$ and $V\Gamma'\to V\Gamma$. Using separation profiles we prove that there are $2^{\aleph_0}$ regular equivalence…
A graph is called equimatchable if all of its maximal matchings have the same size. Due to Eiben and Kotrb\v{c}\'{i}k,, any connected graph with odd order and independence number $\alpha(G)$ at most $2$ is equimatchable. Akbari et al.…
The purpose of this note is to point out that the theory of expander graphs leads to an interesting test whether $n$ real numbers $x_1, \dots, x_n$ could be $n$ independent samples of a random variable. To any distinct, real numbers $x_1,…
We consider signed graphs, i.e, graphs with positive or negative signs on their edges. We construct some families of bipartite signed graphs with only two distinct eigenvalues. This leads to constructing infinite families of regular…
