Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of fixed graphs and let $d$ be large enough. For every $d$-regular graph $G$, we study the existence of a spanning $\mathcal{F}$-free subgraph of $G$ with large minimum degree. This problem is well-understood…
We say that a hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ contains a graph $H$ as a trace if there exists some set $S\subset V(\mathcal{H})$ such that $\mathcal{H}|_S=\{h\cap S: h\in E(\mathcal{H})\}$ contains a subhypergraph isomorphic to $H$. We study the…
A countable, bounded degree graph is almost finite if it has a tiling with isomorphic copies of finitely many F\o lner sets, and we call it strongly almost finite, if the tiling can be randomized so that the probability that a vertex is on…
In an earlier paper the authors proved that limits of convergent graph sequences can be described by various structures, including certain 2-variable real functions called graphons, random graph models satisfying certain consistency…
For a finite group $G$, denote by $\alpha(G)$ the minimum number of vertices of any graph $\Gamma$ having $\text{Aut}(\Gamma)\cong G$. In this paper, we prove that $\alpha(G)\leq |G|$, with specified exceptions. The exceptions include four…
We use the line digraph construction to associate an orthogonal matrix with each graph. From this orthogonal matrix, we derive two further matrices. The spectrum of each of these three matrices is considered as a graph invariant. For the…
Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of graphs. A graph $G$ is $\mathcal{F}$-saturated if $G$ contains no member of $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph but $G+e$ contains some member of $\mathcal{F}$ whenever $e\in E(\overline{G})$. The saturation number…
The interplay of minimum degree conditions and structural properties of large graphs with forbidden subgraphs is a central topic in extremal graph theory. For a given graph $F$ we define the homomorphism threshold as the infimum over all…
Let $\Sigma$ be a surface with boundary $b(\Sigma)$, $\mathcal{L}$ be a collection of $k$ disjoint $b(\Sigma)$-paths in $\Sigma$, and $P$ be a non-separating $b(\Sigma)$-path in $\Sigma$. We prove that there is a homeomorphism $\phi: \Sigma…
Let $F(G)$ be the number of spanning forests in a graph $G$ and $\mathcal{C}(n,d)$ be the set of all connected $d$-regular simple graphs of order $n$. Define $\widehat{f}_{d}=\liminf_{n\rightarrow \infty}\{F(G)^{1/n}:G\in…
We show that it is equivalent, for certain sets of finite graphs, to be definable in CMS (counting monadic second-order logic, a natural extension of monadic second-order logic), and to be recognizable in an algebraic framework induced by…
We prove that finding a $k$-edge induced subgraph is fixed-parameter tractable, thereby answering an open problem of Leizhen Cai. Our algorithm is based on several combinatorial observations, Gauss' famous \emph{Eureka} theorem [Andrews,…
Let $G$ be a large (simple, unlabeled) dense graph on $n$ vertices. Suppose that we only know, or can estimate, the empirical distribution of the number of subgraphs $F$ that each vertex in $G$ participates in, for some fixed small graph…
We consider the infinite-dimensional hypercube graph. This graph is not connected and has isomorphic connected components. We describe the restrictions of its automorphisms to the connected components and the automorphism group of connected…
We prove that if the prime graphs in a graph class have bounded lettericity, then the entire class has bounded lettericity if and only if it does not contain arbitrary large matchings, co-matchings, or a family of graphs that we call…
For various purposes and, in particular, in the context of data compression, a graph can be examined at three levels. Its structure can be described as the unlabeled version of the graph; then the labeling of its structure can be added; and…
We prove that the theory of the Farey graph is pseudofinite by constructing a sequence of finite structures that satisfy increasingly large subsets of its first-order axiomatization. This graph is an important object in the study of curve…
A drawing in the plane ($\mathbb{R}^2$) of a graph $G=(V,E)$ equipped with a function $\gamma: V \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ is \emph{$x$-bounded} if (i) $x(u) <x(v)$ whenever $\gamma(u)<\gamma(v)$ and (ii) $\gamma(u)\leq\gamma(w)\leq…
Given a graph property $\Phi$, the problem $\#\mathsf{IndSub}(\Phi)$ asks, on input a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, to compute the number of induced subgraphs of size $k$ in $G$ that satisfy $\Phi$. The search for explicit criteria…
We prove that the invariably generating graph of a finite group can have an arbitrarily large number of connected components with at least two vertices.
