In this paper we review the asymptotic matching conjectures for $r$-regular bipartite graphs, and their connections in estimating the monomer-dimer entropies in $d$-dimensional integer lattice and Bethe lattices. We prove new rigorous upper…
We work with the following expression for the entropy (density) of a dimer gas on an infinite r-regular lattice lambda(p) = 1/2 [ pln(r)-ln(p)-2(1-p)ln(1-p)-p ]+sum_{k=2}(d_k)(p^k) where the indicated sum converges for density, p, small…
We present a construction called layered wheel. Layered wheels are graphs of arbitrarily large treewidth and girth. They might be an outcome for a possible theorem characterizing graphs with large treewidth in terms of their induced…
We compute the quadratic embedding constant for complete bipartite graphs with disjoint edges removed. Moreover, we study the quadratic embedding property for theta graphs, i.e., graphs consisting of three paths with common initial points…
We prove that if a graph contains the complete bipartite graph $K_{134, 12}$ as an induced minor, then it contains a cycle of length at most~12 or a theta as an induced subgraph. With a longer and more technical proof, we prove that if a…
The entropy of a monomer-dimer system on an infinite bipartite lattice can be written as a mean-field part plus a series expansion in the dimer density. In a previous paper it has been conjectured that all coefficients of this series are…
Theta-graphs are a type of spatial graph with two vertices connected by three edges. We investigate embeddings of theta-graphs in the square and simple cubic lattices, using a combination of the Wang-Landau Monte Carlo method with a variant…
Inspired by connections described in a recent paper by Mark L. Lewis, between the common divisor graph $\Ga(X)$ and the prime vertex graph $\Delta(X)$, for a set $X$ of positive integers, we define the bipartite divisor graph $B(X)$, and…
We introduce a mapping between graphs and pure quantum bipartite states and show that the associated entanglement entropy conveys non-trivial information about the structure of the graph. Our primary goal is to investigate the family of…
Recently, working on the Tanner graph which represents a low density parity check (LDPC) code becomes an interesting research subject. Finding the number of short cycles of Tanner graphs motivated Blake and Lin to investigate the…
In this paper, we study distance-regular graphs $\Gamma$ that have a pair of distinct vertices, say x and y, such that the number of common neighbors of x and y is about half the valency of $\Gamma$. We show that if the diameter is at least…
A hole in a graph is a chordless cycle of length at least 4. A theta is a graph formed by three internally vertex-disjoint paths of length at least 2 between the same pair of distinct vertices. A wheel is a graph formed by a hole and a node…
Regular triangulations of products of lattice polytopes are constructed with the additional property that the dual graphs of the triangulations are bipartite. The (weighted) size difference of this bipartition is a lower bound for the…
In [{Structural properties and decomposition of linear balanced matrices}, {\it Mathematical Programming}, 55:129--168, 1992], Conforti and Rao conjectured that every balanced bipartite graph contains an edge that is not the unique chord of…
In this paper it is proved that there are constants 0< c_2< c_1 such that an asymptotic formula can be given for the the number of (labeled) n-vertex graphs of diameter d whenever n tends to infinity and 2 < d < n - c_1 (log n). A typical…
We show that the number of labelled $P_7$-free bipartite graphs with $n$ vertices grows as $n^{\Theta(n)}$. This resolves an open problem posed by Allen [P. Allen, Forbidden induced bipartite graphs. J. Graph Theory 60 (2009), no. 3,…
By a probabilistic construction, we find a bipartite graph having average degree $d$ which can be expressed as a conjunctive normal form using $C \log d$ clauses. This contradicts research problem 1.33 of Jukna.
A theta graph, denoted $\theta_{a,b,c}$, is a graph of order $a+b+c-1$ consisting of a pair of vertices and three independent paths between them of lengths $a$, $b$, and $c$. We provide a complete characterization of graphs that do not…
In this article we study higher homological properties of $n$-levelled algebras and connect them to properties of the underlying graphs. Notably, to each $2$-representation-finite quadratic monomial algebra $\Lambda$ we associate a…
A theorem of Cohn and Lempel [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 13 (1972), 83-89] gives an equality relating the number of circuits in a directed circuit partition of a 2-in, 2-out digraph to the GF(2)-nullity of an associated matrix. This equality…
