We consider the probability that a spanning tree chosen uniformly at random from a graph can be partitioned into a fixed number $k$ of trees of equal size by removing $k-1$ edges. In that case, the spanning tree is called {\em splittable}.…

Given a `genus' function $g=g(n)$, we let $\mathcal{E}^g$ be the class of all graphs $G$ such that if $G$ has order $n$ (that is, has $n$ vertices) then it is embeddable in a surface of Euler genus at most $g(n)$. Let the random graph $R_n$…

We propose the following model of a random graph on n vertices. Let F be a distribution in R_+^{n(n-1)/2} with a coordinate for every pair i$ with 1 \le i,j \le n. Then G_{F,p} is the distribution on graphs with n vertices obtained by…

Consider a graph on $n$ uniform random points in the unit square, each pair being connected by an edge with probability $p$ if the inter-point distance is at most $r$. We show that as $n\to\infty$ the probability of full connectivity is…

Minimum spanning trees (MSTs) are used in a variety of fields, from computer science to geography. Infectious disease researchers have used them to infer the transmission pathway of certain pathogens. However, these are often the MSTs of…

We consider three different models of sparse random graphs:~undirected and directed Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graphs, and random bipartite graph with an equal number of left and right vertices. For such graphs we show that if the edge…

Hasunuma [J. Graph Theory 102 (2023) 423-435] conjectured that for any tree $T$ of order $m$, every $k$-connected (or $k$-edge-connected) graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $k+m-1$ contains a tree $T'\cong T$ such that $G-E(T')$ is…

A famous conjecture by Itai and Zehavi states that, for every $d$-vertex-connected graph $G$ and every vertex $r$ in $G$, there are $d$ spanning trees of $G$ such that, for every vertex $v$ in $G\setminus \{r\}$, the paths between $r$ and…

A path in an edge-colored graph is called a proper path if no two adjacent edges of the path are colored the same. For a connected graph $G$, the proper connection number $pc(G)$ of $G$ is defined as the minimum number of colors needed to…

Let $F(G)$ be the number of forests of a graph $G$. Similarly let $C(G)$ be the number of connected spanning subgraphs of a connected graph $G$. We bound $F(G)$ and $C(G)$ for regular graphs and for graphs with fixed average degree. Among…

In a random key graph (RKG) of $n$ nodes each node is randomly assigned a key ring of $K_n$ cryptographic keys from a pool of $P_n$ keys. Two nodes can communicate directly if they have at least one common key in their key rings. We assume…

Consider the d-dimensional lattice Z^d where each vertex is ``open'' or ``closed'' with probability p or 1-p, respectively. An open vertex v is connected by an edge to the closest open vertex w such that the dth co-ordinates of v and w…

We consider the following random model for edge-colored graphs. A graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is fixed, and a random subgraph $G_p$ is chosen by letting each edge of $G$ remain independently with probability $p$. Then, each edge of $G_p$ is…

A connected graph is called fragile if it contains an independent vertex cut. In 2002 Chen and Yu proved that every connected graph of order $n$ and size at most $2n-4$ is fragile, and in 2013 Le and Pfender characterized the non-fragile…

A classical result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi states that every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+ o(1))n$ contains every $n$-vertex tree with maximum degree $O(n/\log{n})$ as a subgraph, and the bounds on…

For any pair of integers $m$ and $n$ such that $3<m<n$, we provide an infinite family of links, where each link in the family has a locally minimal $n$-bridge position and a globally minimal $m$-bridge position. We accomplish this by…

A \emph{uniform random intersection graph} $G(n,m,k)$ is a random graph constructed as follows. Label each of $n$ nodes by a randomly chosen set of $k$ distinct colours taken from some finite set of possible colours of size $m$. Nodes are…

We review mathematically tractable models for connected networks on random points in the plane, emphasizing the class of proximity graphs which deserves to be better known to applied probabilists and statisticians. We introduce and motivate…

Amit and Linial showed that a random lift of a graph with minimum degree $\delta\ge3$ is asymptotically almost surely $\delta$-connected, and mentioned the problem of estimating this probability as a function of the degree of the lift. We…

Local convergence of bounded degree graphs was introduced by Benjamini and Schramm. This result was extended further by Lyons to bounded average degree graphs. In this paper we study the convergence of random tree sequences with given…
