The emerging theory of graph limits exhibits an analytic perspective on graphs, showing that many important concepts and tools in graph theory and its applications can be described more naturally (and sometimes proved more easily) in…
We investigate the asymptotic structure of a random perfect graph $P_n$ sampled uniformly from the perfect graphs on vertex set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$. Our approach is based on the result of Pr\"omel and Steger that almost all perfect graphs are…
A bramble in an undirected graph $G$ is a family of connected subgraphs of $G$ such that for every two subgraphs $H_1$ and $H_2$ in the bramble either $V(H_1) \cap V(H_2) \neq \emptyset$ or there is an edge of $G$ with one endpoint in…
A threshold graph is any graph which can be constructed from the empty graph by repeatedly adding a new vertex that is either adjacent to every vertex or to no vertices. The Eulerian number $\genfrac{\langle}{\rangle}{0pt}{}{n}{k}$ counts…
Coalescing random walks is a fundamental stochastic process, where a set of particles perform independent discrete-time random walks on an undirected graph. Whenever two or more particles meet at a given node, they merge and continue as a…
We study the popular randomized rumour spreading protocol Push. Initially, a node in a graph possesses some information, which is then spread in a round based manner. In each round, each informed node chooses uniformly at random one of its…
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…
Let $G$ be a connected graph and $u,v$ and $w$ vertices of $G$. Then $w$ is said to {\em strongly resolve} $u$ and $v$, if there is either a shortest $u$-$w$ path that contains $v$ or a shortest $v$-$w$ path that contains $u$. A set $W$ of…
How many cliques can a graph on $n$ vertices have with a forbidden substructure? Extremal problems of this sort have been studied for a long time. This paper studies the maximum possible number of cliques in a graph on $n$ vertices with a…
Given a graph $G$, let $\mathrm{diam}(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$ which lie in the same connected component, and let $\mathrm{diam}^+(G)$ be the greatest distance between any two vertices of $G$; so…
To untangle a geometric graph means to move some of the vertices so that the resulting geometric graph has no crossings. Pach and Tardos [Discrete Comput. Geom., 2002] asked if every n-vertex geometric planar graph can be untangled while…
For fixed $r\geq 2$, we consider bootstrap percolation with threshold $r$ on the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graph ${\cal G}_{n,p}$. We identify a threshold for $p$ above which there is with high probability a set of size $r$ which can infect the…
We generalize the notion of quasirandom which concerns a class of equivalent properties that random graphs satisfy. We show that the convergence of a graph sequence under the spectral distance is equivalent to the convergence using the…
Call a simple graph $H$ of order $n$ well-separable, if by deleting a separator set of size $o(n)$ the leftover will have components of size at most $o(n)$. We prove, that bounded degree well-separable spanning subgraphs are easy to embed:…
We consider a random geometric graph with vertices sampled from a probability measure supported on $\mathbb R^d$, and study its connectivity. We show the graph is typically disconnected, unless the sampling density has superexponential…
Pebble games are single-player games on DAGs involving placing and moving pebbles on nodes of the graph according to a certain set of rules. The goal is to pebble a set of target nodes using a minimum number of pebbles. In this paper, we…
We describe the asymptotic behaviour of large degrees in random hyperbolic graphs, for all values of the curvature parameter $ \alpha$. We prove that, with high probability, the node degrees satisfy the following ordering property: the…
Given a graph G and a configuration C of pebbles on the vertices of G, a pebbling step removes two pebbles from one vertex and places one pebble on an adjacent vertex. The cover pebbling number g=g(G) is the minimum number so that every…
The $k$-core of a graph is the largest subgraph of minimum degree at least $k$. We show that for $k$ sufficiently large, the $(k + 2)$-core of a random graph $\G(n,p)$ asymptotically almost surely has a spanning $k$-regular subgraph. Thus…
The scramble number of a graph, a natural generalization of bramble number, is an invariant recently developed to study chip-firing games and graph gonality. We introduce the carton number of a graph, defined to be the minimum size of a…
