In this note, extending some results of Erdos, Frankl, Rodl, Alexeev, Bollobas and Thomason we determine asymptotically the number of graphs which do not contain certain large subgraphs. In particular, if H_1,...,H_n,... are graphs with…
A classical result of Erd\H{o}s and Gallai determines the maximum size $m(n,\nu)$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ and matching number $\nu n$. We show that $G$ has factorially many maximum matchings provided that its size is sufficiently close…
For every natural number $p$, we show that the maximum negative girth among the class of signed graphs on $n$ vertices with balanced chromatic number at least $p$ is between $(1/e)n^{1/(p-1)}$ and $2(p-1) n^{1/(p-1)}$. This extends a…
Reed conjectured that for every epsilon>0 and Delta there exists g such that the fractional total chromatic number of a graph with maximum degree Delta and girth at least g is at most Delta+1+epsilon. We prove the conjecture for Delta=3 and…
We construct a unimodular random rooted graph with maximal degree $d\geq 3$ and upper growth rate $d-1$, which does not have a growth rate. Ab\'ert, Fraczyk and Hayes showed that for a unimodular random tree, if the upper growth rate is at…
A $d$-regular graph on $n$ nodes has at most $T_{\max} = \frac{n}{3} \tbinom{d}{2}$ triangles. We compute the leading asymptotics of the probability that a large random $d$-regular graph has at least $c \cdot T_{\max}$ triangles, and…
We examine maximum vertex coloring of random geometric graphs, in an arbitrary but fixed dimension, with a constant number of colors. Since this problem is neither scale-invariant nor smooth, the usual methodology to obtain limit laws…
Extending the idea from the recent paper by Carbonero, Hompe, Moore, and Spirkl, for every function $f\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$ with $f(1)=1$ and $f(n)\geq\binom{3n+1}{3}$, we construct a hereditary class of graphs…
We find asymptotics of the maximum size of a chordal subgraph in a binomial random graph $G(n,p)$, for $p=\mathrm{const}$ and $p=n^{-\alpha+o(1)}$.
Given a graph $G$, its $2$-color Tur\'{a}n number $\mathrm{ex}^{(2)}(n,G)$ is the largest number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph whose edges can be colored with two colors avoiding a monochromatic copy of $G$. Let…
Let G(n,d) be the random d-regular graph on n vertices. For any integer k exceeding a certain constant k_0 we identify a number d_{k-col} such that G(n,d) is k-colorable w.h.p. if d<d_{k-col} and non-k-colorable w.h.p. if d>d_{k-col}.
For every $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $k\geq2$, it is known that every $k$-edge-colouring of the complete graph on $n$ vertices contains a monochromatic connected component of order at least $\frac{n}{k-1}$. For $k\geq3$, it is known that the…
Consider the problem of determining the maximal induced subgraph in a random $d$-regular graph such that its components remain bounded as the size of the graph becomes arbitrarily large. We show, for asymptotically large $d$, that any such…
Emergence of dominating cliques in Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graph model ${\bbbg(n,p)}$ is investigated in this paper. It is shown this phenomenon possesses a phase transition. Namely, we have argued that, given a constant probability $p$, an…
We consider the robust chromatic number $\chi_1(G)$ of planar graphs $G$ and show that there exists an infinite family of planar graphs $G$ with $\chi_1(G) = 3$, thus solving a recent problem of Bacs\'{o}~et~al. (The robust chromatic number…
An edge-colouring is {\em strong} if every colour class is an induced matching. In this work we give a formulae that determines either the optimal or the optimal plus one strong chromatic index of bipartite outerplanar graphs. Further, we…
We study the linear list chromatic number, denoted $\lcl(G)$, of sparse graphs. The maximum average degree of a graph $G$, denoted $\mad(G)$, is the maximum of the average degrees of all subgraphs of $G$. It is clear that any graph $G$ with…
An outer-1-planar graph is a graph admitting a drawing in the plane so that all vertices appear in the outer region of the drawing and every edge crosses at most one other edge. This paper establishes the local structure of outer-1-planar…
For a graph $H$, the {\em extremal number} $ex(n,H)$ is the maximum number of edges in a graph of order $n$ not containing a subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Let $\delta(H)>0$ and $\Delta(H)$ denote the minimum degree and maximum degree of $H$,…
The theory of colorful graphs can be developed by working in Galois field modulo (p), p > 2 and a prime number. The paper proposes a program of possible conversion of graph theory into a pleasant colorful appearance. We propose to paint the…
