We introduce a cover time problem for random walks on dynamic graphs in which the graph expands in time and the walker moves at random times. Time to cover all nodes and number of returns to original states are analyzed in resulting model.

Random walk based distributed algorithms make use of a token that circulates in the system according to a random walk scheme to achieve their goal. To study their efficiency and compare it to one of the deterministic solutions, one is led…

In the Connected Vertex Cover problem we are given an undirected graph G together with an integer k and we are to find a subset of vertices X of size at most k, such that X contains at least one end-point of each edge and moreover X induces…

In this note we confirm a conjecture raised by Benjamini et al. \cite{BST} on the acquaintance time of graphs, proving that for all graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices it holds that $\AC(G) = O(n^{3/2})$, which is tight up to a multiplicative…

We show, through local estimates and simulation, that if one constrains simple graphs by their densities $\varepsilon$ of edges and $\tau$ of triangles, then asymptotically (in the number of vertices) for over $95\%$ of the possible range…

A subset $M$ of the edges of a graph $G$ is a matching if no two edges in $M$ are incident. A maximal matching is a matching that is not contained in a larger matching. A subset $S$ of vertices of a graph $G$ with no isolated vertices is a…

The strong chromatic number $\chi_{\text{s}}(G)$ of a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is the least number $r$ with the following property: after adding $r \lceil n/r \rceil - n$ isolated vertices to $G$ and taking the union with any collection of…

We discuss how to find the well-covered dimension of a graph that is the Cartesian product of paths, cycles, complete graphs, and other simple graphs. Also, a bound for the well-covered dimension of $K_n\times G$ is found, provided that $G$…

In this work we introduce Dynamic Random Geometric Graphs as a basic rough model for mobile wireless sensor networks, where communication distances are set to the known threshold for connectivity of static random geometric graphs. We…

Randomly breaking connections in a graph alters its transport properties, a model used to describe percolation. In the case of quantum walks, dynamic percolation graphs represent a special type of imperfections, where the connections appear…

Let $G=G(n)$ be a graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree $\Delta=\Delta(n)$. Assign to each vertex $v$ of $G$ a list $L(v)$ of colors by choosing each list independently and uniformly at random from all $k$-subsets of a color set…

We establish tight lower and upper bounds on the number of edges in traceable graphs in several classes of dense graphs. A graph is traceable if it has a Hamiltonian path. We show that the bound is: - quadratic for the class of graphs of…

A vertex $v$ in a porous exponential dominating set assigns weight $\left(\tfrac{1}{2}\right)^{dist(v,u)}$ to vertex $u$. A porous exponential dominating set of a graph $G$ is a subset of $V(G)$ such that every vertex in $V(G)$ has been…
