The bend-number b(G) of a graph G is the minimum k such that G may be represented as the edge intersection graph of a set of grid paths with at most k bends. We confirm a conjecture of Biedl and Stern showing that the maximum bend-number of…

We study the maximum dimension $d=d(n,p)$ for which an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi $G(n,p)$ random graph is $d$-rigid. Our main results reveal two different regimes of rigidity in $G(n,p)$ separated at $p_c=C_*\log n/n,~C_*=2/(1-\log 2)$ -- the point…

The fascinating question of the maximum value of twin-width on planar graphs is nowadays not far from the final resolution; there is a lower bound of 7 coming from a construction by Kr\'al' and Lamaison [arXiv, September 2022], and an upper…

The threshold $p_c(H)$ for the event that the binomial random graph $G_{n,p}$ contains a copy of a graph $H$ is the unique $p$ for which $\mathbb{P}(H \subseteq G_{n,p}) = 1/2$, and the fractional expectation threshold $q_f(H)$ is roughly…

We investigate the extremal properties of saturated partial plane embeddings of maximal planar graphs. For a planar graph $G$, the plane-saturation number $\mathrm{sat}_{\mathcal{P}}(G)$ denotes the minimum number of edges in a plane…

Given a graph $G$ and $p\in [0,1]$, the random subgraph $G_p$ is obtained by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p$. We show that for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a constant $C>0$ such that the following holds.…

We give an upper bound on the number of perfect matchings in an undirected simple graph $G$ with an even number of vertices, in terms of the degrees of all the vertices in $G$. This bound is sharp if $G$ is a union of complete bipartite…

The $k$-core of a graph is the largest subgraph of minimum degree at least $k$. We show that for $k$ sufficiently large, the $(k + 2)$-core of a random graph $\G(n,p)$ asymptotically almost surely has a spanning $k$-regular subgraph. Thus…

The spread of a connected graph G was introduced by Alon, Boppana and Spencer (1998) and measures how tightly connected the graph is. It is defined as the maximum over all Lipschitz functions f on V(G) of the variance of f(X) when X is…

Bonnet, Kim, Thomass\'{e}, and Watrigant (2020) introduced the twin-width of a graph. We show that the twin-width of an $n$-vertex graph is less than $(n+\sqrt{n\ln n}+\sqrt{n}+2\ln n)/2$, and the twin-width of an $m$-edge graph for a…

We investigate the twin-width of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$. We unveil a surprising behavior of this parameter by showing the existence of a constant $p^*\approx 0.4$ such that with high probability, when $p^*\le p\le…

When $k|n$, the tree $\mathrm{Comb}_{n,k}$ consists of a path containing $n/k$ vertices, each of whose vertices has a disjoint path length $k-1$ beginning at it. We show that, for any $k=k(n)$ and $\epsilon>0$, the binomial random graph…

Let $R$ and $B$ be two disjoint sets of points in the plane such that $|B|\leqslant |R|$, and no three points of $R\cup B$ are collinear. We show that the geometric complete bipartite graph $K(R,B)$ contains a non-crossing spanning tree…

This paper examines the structure of the largest subgraphs of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph, $G_{n,p}$, with a given matching number. This extends a result of Erd\H{o}s and Gallai who, in 1959, gave a classification of the structures…

For the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph G(n,p), we give a precise asymptotic formula for the size of a largest vertex subset in G(n,p) that induces a subgraph with average degree at most t, provided that p = p(n) is not too small and t =…
