An \textit{$(n,m)$-graph} $G$ is a graph having both arcs and edges, and its arcs (resp., edges) are labeled using one of the $n$ (resp., $m$) different symbols. An \textit{$(n,m)$-complete graph} $G$ is an $(n,m)$-graph without loops or…

Consider the Cayley graph of $S_n$ generated by a random pair of elements $x,y$. Conjecturally, the girth of this graph is $\Omega(n \log n)$ with probability tending to $1$ as $n\to\infty$. We show that it is at least $\Omega(n^{1/3})$.

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 =…

We analyze a minimal model of a growing network. At each time step, a new vertex is added; then, with probability delta, two vertices are chosen uniformly at random and joined by an undirected edge. This process is repeated for t time…

It is shown that the following holds for each $\varepsilon>0$. For $G$ an $n$-vertex graph of maximum degree $D$ and "lists" $L_v$ ($v \in V(G)$) chosen independently and uniformly from the ($(1+\varepsilon)\ln n$)-subsets of $\{1, ...,…

In this paper we investigate the extremal relationship between two well-studied graph parameters: the order of the largest homogeneous set in a graph $G$ and the maximal number of distinct degrees appearing in an induced subgraph of $G$,…

Given a graph $G$, let $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$ which lie in the same connected component, and let $\mathrm{diam}^+(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$; so…

A graph $G$ is said to be $\mathcal H(n,\Delta)$-universal if it contains every graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $\Delta$. It is known that for any $\varepsilon > 0$ and any natural number $\Delta$ there exists $c > 0$ such…

Let X_{d,n} be an n-element subset of {0,1}^d chosen uniformly at random, and denote by P_{d,n} := conv X_{d,n} its convex hull. Let D_{d,n} be the density of the graph of P_{d,n} (i.e., the number of one-dimensional faces of P_{d,n}…

We determine the asymptotic size of the largest component in the $2$-type binomial random graph $G(\mathbf{n},P)$ near criticality using a refined branching process approach. In $G(\mathbf{n},P)$ every vertex has one of two types, the…

We consider vertex partitions of the binomial random graph $G_{n,p}$. For $np\to\infty$, we observe the following phenomenon: in any partition into asymptotically fewer than $\chi(G_{n,p})$ parts, i.e. $o(np/\log np)$ parts, one part must…

One of the central questions in Ramsey theory asks how small can be the size of the largest clique and independent set in a graph on $N$ vertices. By the celebrated result of Erd\H{o}s from 1947, the random graph on $N$ vertices with edge…

For non-negative integers $(d_n(k))_{k \ge 1}$ such that $\sum_{k \ge 1} d_n(k) = n$, we sample a bipartite planar map with $n$ faces uniformly at random amongst those which have $d_n(k)$ faces of degree $2k$ for every $k \ge 1$ and we…

Let A be a minor-closed class of labelled graphs, and let G_n be a random graph sampled uniformly from the set of n-vertex graphs of A. When n is large, what is the probability that G_n is connected? How many components does it have? How…

It is shown that the following holds for each $\varepsilon >0$. For $G$ an $n$-vertex graph of maximum degree $D$, lists $S_v$ of size $D+1$ (for $v\in V(G)$), and $L_v$ chosen uniformly from the ($(1+\varepsilon)\ln n$)-subsets of $S_v$…

We consider classes of pseudo-random graphs on $n$ vertices for which the degree of every vertex and the co-degree between every pair of vertices are in the intervals $(np - Cn^\delta,np+Cn^\delta)$ and $(np^2- C n^\delta, np^2 +C…

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…

For a finite, simple, and undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, and largest eigenvalue $\lambda$, Nikiforov introduced the degree deviation of $G$ as $s=\sum_{u\in V(G)}\left|d_G(u)-\frac{2m}{n}\right|$. Contributing to a…

We study a special case of the configuration model, in which almost all the vertices of the graph have degree $2$. We show that the graph has a very peculiar and interesting behaviour, in particular when the graph is made up by a vast…

Given an $n$-vertex graph $G$, let $\hom (G)$ denote the size of a largest homogeneous set in $G$ and let $f(G)$ denote the maximal number of distinct degrees appearing in an induced subgraph of $G$. The relationship between these…
