For an oriented graph $D$ and a set $X\subseteq V(D)$, the inversion of $X$ in $D$ is the digraph obtained by reversing the orientations of the edges of $D$ with both endpoints in $X$. The inversion number of $D$, $\textrm{inv}(D)$, is the…
Luo, Tian and Wu (2022) conjectured that for any tree $T$ with bipartition $X$ and $Y$, every $k$-connected bipartite graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $k+t$, where $t=$max$\{|X|,|Y|\}$, contains a tree $T'\cong T$ such that $G-V(T')$…
A tournament on 8 or more vertices may be intrinsically linked as a directed graph. We begin the classification of intrinsically linked tournaments by examining their score sequences. While many distinct tournaments may have the same score…
In this paper we show that all infinite trees which have bounded coordination and whose surface is negligible with respect to the volume in the limit of large distances (so that they can be embedded in a finite-dimensional euclidean space)…
An $(s,t)$-matching in a bipartite graph $G=(U,V,E)$ is a subset of the edges $F$ such that each component of $G[F]$ is a tree with at most $t$ edges and each vertex in $U$ has $s$ neighbours in $G[H]$. We give sharp conditions for a…
We prove that, with high probability, any $2$-edge-colouring of a random tournament on $n$ vertices contains a monochromatic path of length $\Omega(n / \sqrt{\log n})$. This resolves a conjecture of Ben-Eliezer, Krivelevich and Sudakov and…
This work establishes combinatorial bounds on the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of edge ideals for trees and their multi-whiskered variants. For a tree \( T \), we give bounds for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of \( I(T) \) in terms…
The periodic wind-tree model is a family T(a,b) of billiards in the plane in which identical rectangular scatterers of size axb are disposed at each integer point. It was proven by P. Hubert, S. Leli\`evre and S. Troubetzkoy…
The Tur\'an number of a graph H, ex(n;H), is the maximum number of edges in any graph on n vertices which does not contain H as a subgraph. Let P_l denote a path on l vertices, and kP_l denote k vertex-disjoint copies of P_l. We determine…
K\"uhn and Osthus conjectured in 2013 that regular tripartite tournaments are decomposable into Hamilton cycles. Somewhat surprisingly, Granet gave a simple counterexample to this conjecture almost 10 years later. In this paper, we show…
Packing graphs is a combinatorial problem where several given graphs are being mapped into a common host graph such that every edge is used at most once. In the planar tree packing problem we are given two trees T1 and T2 on n vertices and…
For integers \(r\ge 2\), \(t\ge 1\) and a real number \(a\in(3/2,2]\), we study the typical structure of oriented graphs and digraphs that do not contain a blow-up \(T_{r+1}^t\) of a transitive tournament. We prove that almost every…
It is known that every graph with n vertices embeds stochastically into trees with distortion $O(\log n)$. In this paper, we show that this upper bound is sharp for a large class of graphs. As this class of graphs contains diamond graphs,…
We prove the Erd\H os--S\'os conjecture for trees with bounded maximum degree and large dense host graphs. As a corollary, we obtain an upper bound on the multicolour Ramsey number of large trees whose maximum degree is bounded by a…
We present new algorithms for counting and detecting small tournaments in a given tournament. In particular, it is proved that every tournament on four vertices (there are four) can be detected in $O(n^2)$ time and counted in $O(n^\omega)$…
The girth of a graph $G$ is the length of a shortest cycle of $G$. Jiang (JCT-B, 2001) showed that every graph $G$ with girth at least $2\ell+1$ and minimum degree at least $k/\ell$ contains every tree $T$ with $k$ edges whose maximum…
If $T$ is an $n$-vertex tournament with a given number of $3$-cycles, what can be said about the number of its $4$-cycles? The most interesting range of this problem is where $T$ is assumed to have $c\cdot n^3$ cyclic triples for some $c>0$…
We prove that every connected triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices contains an induced tree on $\exp(c\sqrt{\log n})$ vertices, where $c$ is a positive constant. The best known upper bound is $(2+o(1))\sqrt n$. This partially answers…
A rooted tree is balanced if the degree of a vertex depends only on its distance to the root. In this paper we determine the sharp threshold for the appearance of a large family of balanced spanning trees in the random geometric graph…
We show that every sufficiently large oriented graph $G$ with minimum indegree and outdegree both at least $(3|V(G)|-1)/8$ contains every orientation of a Hamilton cycle. This result improves the approximate bound established by Kelly and…
