This survey concerns regular graphs that are extremal with respect to the number of independent sets, and more generally, graph homomorphisms. More precisely, in the family of of $d$-regular graphs, which graph $G$ maximizes/minimizes the…
The aim of this work is to investigate the nonnegative signed domination number $\gamma^{NN}_s$ with emphasis on regular, ($r+1$)-clique-free graphs and trees. We give lower and upper bounds on $\gamma^{NN}_s$ for regular graphs and prove…
We exploit a result by Nerman which shows that conditional limit theorems hold when a certain monotonicity condition is satisfied. Our main result is an application to vertex degrees in random graphs, where we obtain asymptotic normality…
Identifying and locating-dominating codes have been studied widely in circulant graphs of type $C_n(1,2,3,\dots, r)$ over the recent years. In 2013, Ghebleh and Niepel studied locating-dominating and identifying codes in the circulant…
In this paper, we study the signed total domination number in graphs and present new sharp lower and upper bounds for this parameter. For example by making use of the classic theorem of Turan, we present a sharp lower bound on this…
Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ with vertex set $V(G)$. A subset $S\subseteq V(G)$ is an $(a,b)$-dominating set if every vertex $v\in S$ is adjacent to at least $a$ vertices in $S$ and every $v\in V\setminus S$ is adjacent to at…
Given a graph $F$, the random Tur\'an problem asks to determine the maximum number of edges in an $F$-free subgraph of $G_{n,p}$. Prior to this work, the only bipartite graphs $F$ with known tight bounds included certain classes of complete…
Consider a family of graphs having a fixed girth and a large size. We give an optimal lower asymptotic bound on the number of even cycles of any constant length, as the order of the graphs tends to infinity.
Quite often real-world networks can be thought of as being symmetric, in the abstract sense that vertices can be found to have similar or equivalent structural roles. However, traditional measures of symmetry in graphs are based on their…
We present a technique for approximating generic normalization constants subject to constraints. The method is then applied to derive the exact asymptotics for the conditional normalization constant of constrained exponential random graphs.
The notion of $(\sigma,\rho)$-dominating set generalizes many notions including dominating set, induced matching, perfect codes or independent sets. Bounds on the maximal number of such (maximal, minimal) sets were established for different…
Graphlets are induced subgraph patterns and have been frequently applied to characterize the local topology structures of graphs across various domains, e.g., online social networks (OSNs) and biological networks. Discovering and computing…
We determine the computational complexity of approximately counting and sampling independent sets of a given size in bounded-degree graphs. That is, we identify a critical density $\alpha_c(\Delta)$ and provide (i) for $\alpha <…
We give variants of the Krein bound and the absolute bound for graphs with a spectrum similar to that of a strongly regular graph. In particular, we investigate what we call approximately strongly regular graphs. We apply our results to…
We study ensemble-based graph-theoretical methods aiming to approximate the size of the minimum dominating set (MDS) in scale-free networks. We analyze both analytical upper bounds of dominating sets and numerical realizations for…
We consider families of finite quantum graphs of increasing size and we are interested in how eigenfunctions are distributed over the graph. As a measure for the distribution of an eigenfunction on a graph we introduce the entropy, it has…
This paper is devoted to the distributed complexity of finding an approximation of the maximum cut in graphs. A classical algorithm consists in letting each vertex choose its side of the cut uniformly at random. This does not require any…
We prove new lower bounds on the modularity of graphs. Specifically, the modularity of a graph $G$ with average degree $\bar d$ is $\Omega(\bar{d}^{-1/2})$, under some mild assumptions on the degree sequence of $G$. The lower bound…
It is well-known that in finite graphs, large complete minors/topological minors can be forced by assuming a large average degree. Our aim is to extend this fact to infinite graphs. For this, we generalise the notion of the relative end…
We derive a new upper bound on the algebraic connectivity of a regular graph using the Higman-Sims technique. Together with a new result on the connectivity of the neighbourhood graph of strongly regular graphs, our result gives a…
