We revisit the issue of low-distortion embedding of metric spaces into the line, and more generally, into the shortest path metric of trees, from the parameterized complexity perspective.Let $M=M(G)$ be the shortest path metric of an edge…

The famous Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem asks the following: how many distinct distances must exist between a set of $n$ points in the plane? There are many generalisations of this question that ask one to consider different spaces…

Graphs with bounded highway dimension were introduced by Abraham et al. [SODA 2010] as a model of transportation networks. We show that any such graph can be embedded into a distribution over bounded treewidth graphs with arbitrarily small…

The minimum degree spanning tree (MDST) problem requires the construction of a spanning tree $T$ for graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices, such that the maximum degree $d$ of $T$ is the smallest among all spanning trees of $G$. In this paper,…

Constructing a spanning tree of a graph is one of the most basic tasks in graph theory. Motivated by several recent studies of local graph algorithms, we consider the following variant of this problem. Let G be a connected bounded-degree…

Let $d \geq 3$ be a fixed integer. We give an asympotic formula for the expected number of spanning trees in a uniformly random $d$-regular graph with $n$ vertices. (The asymptotics are as $n\to\infty$, restricted to even $n$ if $d$ is…

Given a graph $G$ and sets $\{\alpha_v~|~v \in V(G)\}$ and $\{\beta_v~|~v \in V(G)\}$ of non-negative integers, it is known that the decision problem whether $G$ contains a spanning tree $T$ such that $\alpha_v \le d_T (v) \le \beta_v $ for…

Let $G$ be a graph. Its laplacian matrix $L(G)$ is positive and we consider eigenvectors of its first non-null eigenvalue that are called Fiedler vector. They have been intensively used in spectral partitioning problems due to their good…

Suppose that we are given an arbitrary graph $G=(V, E)$ and know that each edge in $E$ is going to be realized independently with some probability $p$. The goal in the stochastic matching problem is to pick a sparse subgraph $Q$ of $G$ such…

A classical result by Otter shows that the complete graph has an exponential number of non-isomorphic spanning trees. This was recently extended by Lee to every almost regular graph of sufficiently large degree. In this paper, we consider…

Let $d\geq 3$ be fixed and $G$ be a large random $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices. We show that if $n$ is large enough then the entry distribution of every almost eigenvector $v$ of $G$ (with entry sum 0 and normalized to have length…

Many hard algorithmic problems dealing with graphs, circuits, formulas and constraints admit polynomial-time upper bounds if the underlying graph has small treewidth. The same problems often encourage reducing the maximal degree of vertices…

An edge-weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ is called stable if the value of a maximum-weight matching equals the value of a maximum-weight fractional matching. Stable graphs play an important role in some interesting game theory problems, such as…

In this paper we study the following problem. Let $A$ be a fixed graph, and let $\hom(G,A)$ denote the number of homomorphisms from a graph $G$ to $A$. Furthermore, let $v(G)$ denote the number of vertices of $G$, and let $\mathcal{G}_d$…

Suppose that there is a family of $n$ random points $X_v$ for $v \in V$, independently and uniformly distributed in the square $\left[-\sqrt{n}/2,\sqrt{n}/2\right]^2$ of area $n$. We do not see these points, but learn about them in one of…

In this paper we show how to use simple partitioning lemmas in order to embed spanning graphs in a typical member of $G(n,p)$. Let the \emph{maximum density} of a graph $H$ be the maximum average degree of all the subgraphs of $H$. First,…
