Motivated by low energy consumption in geographic routing in wireless networks, there has been recent interest in determining bounds on the length of edges in the Delaunay graph of randomly distributed points. Asymptotic results are known…

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this note we give examples of class two 1-planar graphs with maximum degree six or seven.

Let $b(k,\theta)$ be the maximum order of a connected bipartite $k$-regular graph whose second largest eigenvalue is at most $\theta$. In this paper, we obtain a general upper bound for $b(k,\theta)$ for any $0\leq \theta< 2\sqrt{k-1}$. Our…

For two independent Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs $\mathbf G(n,p)$, we study the maximal overlap (i.e., the number of common edges) of these two graphs over all possible vertex correspondence. We present a polynomial-time algorithm which finds a…

We consider the problem of determining the maximum induced density of a graph H in any graph on n vertices. The limit of this density as n tends to infinity is called the inducibility of H. The exact value of this quantity is known only for…

Let $[\mathcal{P}]$ be the points of a Poisson process on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and $F$ a probability distribution with support on the non-negative integers. Models are formulated for generating translation invariant random graphs with vertex set…

Let $P_{\text{MAX}}(d,s)$ denote the maximum arithmetic genus of a locally Cohen-Macaulay curve of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$ that is not contained in a surface of degree $<s$. A bound $P(d, s)$ for $P_{\text{MAX}}(d,s)$ has been proven…

A graph is called radially maximal if it is not complete and the addition of any new edge decreases its radius. In 1976 Harary and Thomassen proved that the radius $r$ and diameter $d$ of any radially maximal graph satisfy $r\le d\le 2r-2.$…

The problem of graphical model selection is to correctly estimate the graph structure of a Markov random field given samples from the underlying distribution. We analyze the information-theoretic limitations of the problem of graph…

We investigate the joint distribution of the vertex degrees in three models of random bipartite graphs. Namely, we can choose each edge with a specified probability, choose a specified number of edges, or specify the vertex degrees in one…

In this paper, we make progress on a question related to one of Galvin that has attracted substantial attention recently. The question is that of determining among all graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices and $\Delta(G)\leq r$, which has the most…

We prove that for all values of the edge probability p(n) the largest eigenvalue of a random graph G(n,p) satisfies almost surely: \lambda_1(G)=(1+o(1))max{\sqrt{\Delta},np}, where \Delta is a maximal degree of G, and the o(1) term tends to…

For each natural number $n$ we determine, both asymptotically and exactly, the maximum number of edges an induced subgraph of order $n$ of the $d$-dimension a grid graph ${\ints}^d$ can have. The asymptotic bound is obtained by using a…

Let $P$ be a finite set of points in general position in the plane. The disjointness graph of segments $D(P)$ of $P$ is the graph whose vertices are all the closed straight line segments with endpoints in $P$, two of which are adjacent in…

We prove asymptotically optimal bounds on the number of edges a graph $G$ must have in order that any $r$-colouring of $E(G)$ has a colour class which contains every $D$-degenerate graph on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree. We also…

We consider two classes of random graphs: $(a)$ Poissonian random graphs in which the $n$ vertices in the graph have i.i.d.\ weights distributed as $X$, where $\mathbb{E}(X) = \mu$. Edges are added according to a product measure and the…

In this paper, we describe some recent spectral Moore theorems related to determining the maximum order of a connected graph of given valency and second eigenvalue. We show how these spectral Moore theorems have applications in Alon-Boppana…

Maximum likelihood estimation in statistics leads to the problem of maximizing a product of powers of polynomials. We study the algebraic degree of the critical equations of this optimization problem. This degree is related to the number of…

We give upper bounds for the number $\Phi_\ell(G)$ of matchings of size $\ell$ in (i) bipartite graphs $G=(X\cup Y, E)$ with specified degrees $d_x$ ($x\in X$), and (ii) general graphs $G=(V,E)$ with all degrees specified. In particular,…

Let $G$ be a large-girth $d$-regular graph and $\mu$ be a random process on the vertices of $G$ produced by a randomized local algorithm. We prove the upper bound $(k+1-2k/d)\Bigl(\frac{1}{\sqrt{d-1}}\Bigr)^k$ for the (absolute value of…
