Consider a random geometric 2-dimensional simplicial complex $X$ sampled as follows: first, sample $n$ vectors $\boldsymbol{u_1},\ldots,\boldsymbol{u_n}$ uniformly at random on $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$; then, for each triple $i,j,k \in [n]$, add…

We present a simpler proof of a bound on the number of proper colorings of a graph that was obtained recently by Liu and Murty using Tur'an sieve (in fact, we prove a stronger inequality). We also point out that these results are subsumed…

The $(a,b)$-eye is the graph $I_{a,b} = K_{a+b}-K_b$ obtained by deleting the edges of a clique of size $b$ from a clique of size $a+b$. We show that for any $a,b \ge 2$ and $p \in (0,1)$, if we condition the random graph $G \sim G(n,p)$ on…

The celebrated dependent random choice lemma states that in a bipartite graph an average vertex (weighted by its degree) has the property that almost all small subsets $S$ in its neighborhood has common neighborhood almost as large as in…

The use of data-random graphs in statistical testing of spatial patterns is introduced recently. In this approach, a random directed graph is constructed from the data using the relative positions of the points from various classes.…

We present an algorithm that computes the diameter of random geometric graphs (RGGs) with expected average degree ${\Theta}(n^{\delta})$ for constant ${\delta}\in(0,1)$ in $\tilde{O}(n^{\frac{3}{2}(1+{\delta})} +n^{2 -…

The Rado Graph, sometimes also known as the (countable) Random Graph, can be generated almost surely by putting an edge between any pair of vertices with some fixed probability $p \in (0, 1)$, independently of other pairs. In this article,…

Mixed graphs can be seen as digraphs with arcs and edges (or digons, that is, two opposite arcs). In this paper, we consider the case where such graphs are bipartite and in which the undirected and directed degrees are one. The best graphs,…

Graph-theoretic methods have seen wide use throughout the literature on multi-agent control and optimization. When communications are intermittent and unpredictable, such networks have been modeled using random communication graphs. When…

We introduce a model for a growing random graph based on simultaneous reproduction of the vertices. The model can be thought of as a generalisation of the reproducing graphs of Southwell and Cannings and Bonato et al to allow for a random…

Recently, variants of many classical extremal theorems have been proved in the random environment. We, complementing existing results, extend the Erd\H{o}s-Gallai Theorem in random graphs. In particular, we determine, up to a constant…

Computing the diameter of a graph, i.e. the largest distance, is a fundamental problem that is central in fine-grained complexity. In undirected graphs, the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH) yields a lower bound on the time vs.…

A simple topological graph T = (V(T), E(T)) is a drawing of a graph in the plane where every two edges have at most one common point (an endpoint or a crossing) and no three edges pass through a single crossing. Topological graphs G and H…

Let $X_1,X_2,...$ be an infinite sequence of i.i.d. random vectors distributed exponentially with parameter $\lam .$ For each $y$ and $n\geq 1,$ form a graph $G_n(y)$ with vertex set $V_n = \{X_1,...,X_n\},$ two vertices are connected if…

Amit and Linial showed that a random lift of a graph with minimum degree $\delta\ge3$ is asymptotically almost surely $\delta$-connected, and mentioned the problem of estimating this probability as a function of the degree of the lift. We…

In this work we prove general bounds for the diameter of random graphs generated by a preferential attachment model whose parameter is a function $f:\mathbb{N}\to[0,1]$ that drives the asymptotic proportion between the numbers of vertices…

We consider the quantity $P(G)$ associated with a graph $G$ that is defined as the probability that a randomly chosen subtree of $G$ is spanning. Motivated by conjectures due to Chin, Gordon, MacPhee and Vincent on the behaviour of this…

In directed random graphs, in which edges can be assigned to have one of two directions, or perhaps both, the distance between two vertices $v$ and $v'$ can be computed along paths that are directed from $v$ to $v'$, or along paths that are…

We deal with $r$-regular bipartite graphs with $2n$ vertices. In a previous paper, Butera, Pernici and the author have introduced a quantity $u(i)$, $u(i) = -\ln(i!m\_i)$, a function of the number of $i$-matchings, $m\_i$, and conjectured…

The modelling of interconnection networks by graphs motivated the study of several extremal problems that involve well known parameters of a graph (degree, diameter, girth and order) and ask for the optimal value of one of them while…
