In this thesis, which is supervised by Dr. David Penman, we examine random interval graphs. Recall that such a graph is defined by letting $X_{1},\ldots X_{n},Y_{1},\ldots Y_{n}$ be $2n$ independent random variables, with uniform…

We consider a class of growing random graphs obtained by creating vertices sequentially one by one: at each step, we choose uniformly the neighbours of the newly created vertex; its degree is a random variable with a fixed but arbitrary…

We have derived long series expansions for the perimeter generating functions of the radius of gyration of various polygons with a convexity constraint. Using the series we numerically find simple (algebraic) exact solutions for the…

We work out the graph limit theory for dense interval graphs. The theory developed departs from the usual description of a graph limit as a symmetric function $W(x,y)$ on the unit square, with $x$ and $y$ uniform on the interval $(0,1)$.…

A random geometric graph $G(\mathcal{X}_n, r_n)$ is formed by taking a binomial process $\mathcal{X}_n$ as the set of vertices and joining any two distinct points with an edge if they lie within distance $r_n$ of each other. We investigate…

Let $X_1,X_2,...$ be an infinite sequence of i.i.d. random vectors distributed exponentially with parameter $\lam .$ For each $y$ and $n\geq 1,$ form a graph $G_n(y)$ with vertex set $V_n = \{X_1,...,X_n\},$ two vertices are connected if…

We improve the bounds on the number of interval graphs on $n$ vertices. In particular, denoting by $I_n$ the quantity in question, we show that $\log I_n \sim n\log n$ as $n\to \infty$.

It is known that the generating function associated with the enumeration of non-backtracking walks on finite graphs is a rational matrix-valued function of the parameter; such function is also closely related to graph-theoretical results…

Let $H_n$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and let $\ber{H_n}$ denote the complement of $H_n$. Suppose that $\Delta = \Delta(n)$ is the maximum degree of $\ber{H_n}$. We analyse three algorithms for sampling $d$-regular subgraphs ($d$-factors) of…

We consider the joint distribution of the area and perimeter statistics on the set I_n of inversion sequences of length n represented as bargraphs. Functional equations for both the ordinary and exponential generating functions are derived…

We study the minimal homogeneous generating sets of the Eulerian ideal associated with a simple graph and its maximal generating degree. We show that the Eulerian ideal is a lattice ideal and use this to give a characterization of binomials…

Functionality ($\mathrm{fun}$) is a graph parameter that generalizes graph degeneracy defined by Alecu et al. [JCTB, 2021]. They research the relation of functionality to many other graphs parameters (tree-width, clique-width, VC-dimension,…

Let $M^n\subset\mathbb R^{n+1}$ be the graph of a $C^2$-real valued function defined in a closed ball of $\mathbb R^n$. In this work, we obtain upper bounds for $\inf_M|H|$ and $\inf_M|R|$, where $H$ and $R$ are, respectively, the mean…

Let $F(x)=\sum\limits_{n=1}^\infty\tau(n)x^n$ be the generating function for the number $\tau(n)$ of spanning trees in the circulant graphs $C_{n}(s_1,s_2,\ldots,s_k).$ We show that $F(x)$ is a rational function with integer coefficients…

The degree excess function $\epsilon(I;n)$ is the difference between the maximal generating degree $d(I^n)$ of a homogeneous ideal $I$ of a polynomial ring and $p(I)n$, where $p(I)$ is the leading coefficient of the asymptotically linear…

Given an $r$-graph $F$ with $r \ge 2$, let $\mathrm{ex}(n, (t+1) F)$ denote the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex $r$-graph with at most $t$ pairwise vertex-disjoint copies of $F$. Extending several old results and complementing…

By using an approach of the invariant theory we obtain a new formula for the ordinary generating function of the numbers of the simple graphs with $n$ nodes.

We introduce and study the problem of constructing geometric graphs that have few vertices and edges and that are universal for planar graphs or for some sub-class of planar graphs; a geometric graph is \emph{universal} for a class…

Given a set $\xi=\{H_1,H_2,...\}$ of connected non acyclic graphs, a $\xi$-free graph is one which does not contain any member of $% \xi$ as copy. Define the excess of a graph as the difference between its number of edges and its number of…

A well known upper bound for the spectral radius of a graph, due to Hong, is that $\mu_1^2 \le 2m - n + 1$. It is conjectured that for connected graphs $n - 1 \le s^+ \le 2m - n + 1$, where $s^+$ denotes the sum of the squares of the…
