In FOCS 2017, Borradaille, Le, and Wulff-Nilsen addressed a long-standing open problem by proving that minor-free graphs have light spanners. Specifically, they proved that every $K_h$-minor-free graph has a $(1+\epsilon)$-spanner of…

A tree $\sigma$-spanner of a positively real-weighted $n$-vertex and $m$-edge undirected graph $G$ is a spanning tree $T$ of $G$ which approximately preserves (i.e., up to a multiplicative stretch factor $\sigma$) distances in $G$. Tree…

A graph drawn in the plane is called k-quasi-planar if it does not contain k pairwise crossing edges. It has been conjectured for a long time that for every fixed k, the maximum number of edges of a k-quasi-planar graph with n vertices is…

We show that every complete $n$-vertex simple topological graph contains a topological subgraph on at least $(\log n)^{1/4 - o(1)}$ vertices that is weakly isomorphic to the complete convex geometric graph or the complete twisted graph.…

Let $G$ be a connected simple graph on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. Denote $N_{i}^{(j)}(G)$ the number of spanning subgraphs of $G$ having precisely $i$ edges and not more than $j$ connected components. The graph $G$ is \emph{strong} if…

An $n$-vertex graph is called pancyclic if it contains a cycle of length $t$ for all $3 \leq t \leq n$. In this paper, we study pancyclicity of random graphs in the context of resilience, and prove that if $p \gg n^{-1/2}$, then the random…

Hopsets and spanners are fundamental graph structures, playing a key role in shortest path computation, distributed communication, and more. A (near-exact) hopset for a given graph $G$ is a (small) subset of weighted edges $H$ that when…

Given parameters $\alpha\geq 1,\beta\geq 0$, a subgraph $G'=(V,H)$ of an $n$-vertex unweighted undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is called an $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner if for every pair $u,v\in V$ of vertices, $d_{G'}(u,v)\leq \alpha…

Let $G$ be a $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices. Frieze, Gould, Karo\'nski and Pfender began the study of the following random spanning subgraph model $H=H(G)$. Assign independently to each vertex $v$ of $G$ a uniform random number $x(v) \in…

We prove that $(1+o(1))\sqrt{e/n}$ is the sharp threshold for the appearance of the square of a Hamilton cycle in $G(n,p)$, confirming the conjecture of Kahn, Narayanan, and Park. We also find the exact asymptotics of the threshold for the…

The irregularity strength of a graph $G$, $s(G)$, is the least $k$ admitting a $\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$-weighting of the edges of $G$ assuring distinct weighted degrees of all vertices, or equivalently the least possible maximal edge multiplicity…

Let $n, d$ be integers with $1 \leq d \leq \left \lfloor \frac{n-1}{2} \right \rfloor$, and set $h(n,d):={n-d \choose 2} + d^2$. Erd\H{o}s proved that when $n \geq 6d$, each nonhamiltonian graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree…

In this short note, we prove the conjecture of Benjamini, Shinkar, and Tsur on the acquaintance time $AC(G)$ of a random graph $G \in G(n,p)$. It is shown that asymptotically almost surely $AC(G) = O(\log n / p)$ for $G \in G(n,p)$,…

Maintaining and updating shortest paths information in a graph is a fundamental problem with many applications. As computations on dense graphs can be prohibitively expensive, and it is preferable to perform the computations on a sparse…

Given a graph $G$, we denote by $f(G,u_0,k)$ the number of paths of length $k$ in $G$ starting from $u_0$. In graphs of maximum degree 3, with edge weights $i.i.d.$ with $exp(1)$, we provide a simple proof showing that (under the assumption…

We discuss a new algorithmic type of problem in random graphs studying the minimum number of queries one has to ask about adjacency between pairs of vertices of a random graph $G\sim {\mathcal G}(n,p)$ in order to find a subgraph which…

We study algorithms for spectral graph sparsification. The input is a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and the output is a sparse graph $\tilde{G}$ that approximates $G$ in an algebraic sense. Concretely, for all vectors $x$ and…
