We study the existence of plane substructures in drawings of the $d$-dimensional hypercube graph $Q_d$. We construct drawings of $Q_d$ which contain no plane subgraph with more than $2d-2$ edges, no plane path with more than $2d-3$ edges,…
We introduce notions of being "triangle-free" and "strongly triangle-free" for operator systems in M_n(C) considered as quantum graphs. Several examples and non-examples are discussed. We provide a complete characterization of strongly…
We study the following combinatorial counting and sampling problems: can we efficiently sample from the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph $G(n,p)$ conditioned on triangle-freeness? Can we efficiently approximate the probability that $G(n,p)$…
Let $r\ge 3$ be a fixed constant and let $ {\mathcal H}$ be an $r$-uniform, $D$-regular hypergraph on $N$ vertices. Assume further that $ D > N^\varepsilon $ for some $ \varepsilon>0 $. Consider the random greedy algorithm for forming an…
We study the statistical properties of the generation of random graphs according the configuration model, where one assigns randomly degrees to nodes. This model is often used, e.g., for the scale-free degree distribution ~d^gamma. For the…
One of the biggest huddles faced by researchers studying algorithms for massive graphs is the lack of large input graphs that are essential for the development and test of the graph algorithms. This paper proposes two efficient and highly…
A graph $H$ is $K_s$-saturated if it is a maximal $K_s$-free graph, i.e., $H$ contains no clique on $s$ vertices, but the addition of any missing edge creates one. The minimum number of edges in a $K_s$-saturated graph was determined over…
Let $r \ge 2$ be a fixed constant and let $ {\mathcal H}$ be an $r$-uniform, $D$-regular hypergraph on $N$ vertices. Assume further that $ D \to \infty$ as $N \to \infty$ and that degrees of pairs of vertices in ${\mathcal H}$ are at most…
A graph $H^{\prime}$ is $(H, G)$-saturated if it is $G$-free and the addition of any edge of $H$ not in $H^{\prime}$ creates a copy of $G$. The saturation number $sat(H, G)$ is the minimum number of edges in a $(H, G)$-saturated graph. We…
We prove the occurrence of a phase transition accompanied by the emergence of cycles of diverging lengths in the random interchange process on the hypercube.
The semi-random hypergraph process is a natural generalisation of the semi-random graph process, which can be thought of as a one player game. For fixed $r < s$, starting with an empty hypergraph on $n$ vertices, in each round a set of $r$…
Given the degree sequence $d$ of a graph, the realization graph of $d$ is the graph having as its vertices the labeled realizations of $d$, with two vertices adjacent if one realization may be obtained from the other via an edge-switching…
We develop random graph models where graphs are generated by connecting not only pairs of vertices by edges but also larger subsets of vertices by copies of small atomic subgraphs of arbitrary topology. This allows the for the generation of…
Paul Erd\H{o}s suggested the following problem: Determine or estimate the number of maximal triangle-free graphs on $n$ vertices. Here we show that the number of maximal triangle-free graphs is at most $2^{n^2/8+o(n^2)}$, which matches the…
A growing random graph is constructed by successively sampling without replacement an element from the pool of virtual vertices and edges. At start of the process the pool contains $N$ virtual vertices and no edges. Each time a vertex is…
Graph generation is one of the most challenging tasks in recent years, and its core is to learn the ground truth distribution hiding in the training data. However, training data may not be available due to security concerns or unaffordable…
The hyperbolic random graph model (HRG) has proven useful in the analysis of scale-free networks, which are ubiquitous in many fields, from social network analysis to biology. However, working with this model is algorithmically and…
The $d$-dimensional hypercube graph $Q_d$ has as vertices all subsets of $\{1,\ldots,d\}$, and an edge between any two sets that differ in a single element. The Ruskey-Savage conjecture asserts that every matching of $Q_d$, $d\ge 2$, can be…
In 2007 we introduced a general model of sparse random graphs with independence between the edges. The aim of this paper is to present an extension of this model in which the edges are far from independent, and to prove several results…
A graph $G$ is $H$-induced-saturated if $G$ is $H$-free but deleting any edge or adding any edge creates an induced copy of $H$. There are non-trivial graphs $H$, such as $P_4$, for which no finite $H$-induced-saturated graph $G$ exists. We…
