Extending a previous result of the first two authors, we prove a local limit theorem for the joint distribution of subgraph counts in the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graph $G(n,p)$. This limit can be described as a nonlinear transformation…

We show that if $\gS=(V,E)$ is a regular bipartite graph for which the expansion of subsets of a single parity of $V$ is reasonably good and which satisfies a certain local condition (that the union of the neighbourhoods of adjacent…

A (finite or infinite) graph is called constructible if it may be obtained recursively from the one-point graph by repeatedly adding dominated vertices. In the finite case, the constructible graphs are precisely the cop-win graphs, but for…

For a family of graphs $\mathcal{F}$, a graph $G$ is $\mathcal{F}$-universal if $G$ contains every graph in $\mathcal{F}$ as a (not necessarily induced) subgraph. For the family of all graphs on $n$ vertices and of maximum degree at most…

For any graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and for any {\em symmetric} subgraph $J$ of $K_{n,n}$, we construct an infinite sequence of graphs based on the pair $(G,J)$. The First graph in the sequence is $G$, then at each stage replacing every…

An $(n,d,\lambda)$-graph is a $d$ regular graph on $n$ vertices in which the absolute value of any nontrivial eigenvalue is at most $\lambda$. For any constant $d \geq 3$, $\epsilon>0$ and all sufficiently large $n$ we show that there is a…

Given a graph $G$ and probability $p$, we form the random subgraph $G_p$ by retaining each edge of $G$ independently with probability $p$. Given $d\in\mathbb{N}$ and constants $0<c<1, \varepsilon>0$, we show that if every subset $S\subseteq…

It was proved in (Levit and Mandrescu, 2022) that both $(V(G), Crown(G))$ and $(V(G), CritIndep(G))$ are augmentoids, established partial augmentation phenomena for the family $\Psi(G)$ of local maximum independent sets, and asked in…

In this note we consider a more general version of local sparsity introduced recently by Anderson, Kuchukova, and the author. In particular, we say a graph $G = (V, E)$ is $(k, r)$-locally-sparse if for each vertex $v \in V(G)$, the…

Graph filtering is the cornerstone operation in graph signal processing (GSP). Thus, understanding it is key in developing potent GSP methods. Graph filters are local and distributed linear operations, whose output depends only on the local…

The cage problem asks for the smallest number $c(k,g)$ of vertices in a $k$-regular graph of girth $g$ and graphs meeting this bound are known as cages. While cages are known to exist for all integers $k \ge 2$ and $g \ge 3$, the exact…

We describe a natural topological generalization of edge expansion for graphs to regular CW complexes and prove that this property holds with high probability for certain random complexes.

Given a constant $\alpha>0$, an $n$-vertex graph is called an $\alpha$-expander if every set $X$ of at most $n/2$ vertices in $G$ has an external neighborhood of size at least $\alpha|X|$. Addressing a question posed by Friedman and…

A graph with vertex set V and edge set E is called a (d,c)-expander if the maximum degree of a vertex is d and, for every subset W of V that has cardinality at most |V|/2, the number of edges between vertices in W and vertices outside of W…

Expander graphs, due to their mixing properties, are useful in many algorithms and combinatorial constructions. One can produce an expander graph with high probability by taking a random graph (e.g., the union of $d$ random bijections for a…

Let $\Delta \ge 3$ be fixed, $n \ge n_\Delta$ be a large integer. It is a classical result that $\Delta$--regular expanders on $n$ vertices are not embeddable as geometric (distance) graphs into Euclidean space of dimension less than $c…

Jord\'an and Tanigawa recently introduced the $d$-dimensional algebraic connectivity $a_d(G)$ of a graph $G$. This is a quantitative measure of the $d$-dimensional rigidity of $G$ which generalizes the well-studied notion of spectral…

We consider the problem of testing small set expansion for general graphs. A graph $G$ is a $(k,\phi)$-expander if every subset of volume at most $k$ has conductance at least $\phi$. Small set expansion has recently received significant…

It was recently proved that every planar graph is a subgraph of the strong product of a path and a graph with bounded treewidth. This paper surveys generalisations of this result for graphs on surfaces, minor-closed classes, various…

For a family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs, a graph $G$ is called \emph{$\mathcal{F}$-universal} if $G$ contains every graph in $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. Let $\mathcal{F}_n(d)$ be the family of all graphs on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at…
