Hyperbolic random graphs inherit many properties that are present in real-world networks. The hyperbolic geometry imposes a scale-free network with a strong clustering coefficient. Other properties like a giant component, the small world…

A connected matching in a graph $G$ is a matching contained in a connected component of $G$. A well-known method due to {\L}uczak reduces problems about monochromatic paths and cycles in complete graphs to problems about monochromatic…

Gaitan and Clark [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 010501 (2012)] have recently presented a quantum algorithm for the computation of the Ramsey numbers R(m, n) using adiabatic quantum evolution. We consider that the two-color Ramsey numbers R(m, n; r)…

For a prime $p$ we define the Paley graph to be the graph with the set of vertices $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$, and with edges connecting vertices whose sum is a quadratic residue. Paley graphs are notoriously difficult to study, particularly…

Inspired by the "generalized t-designs" defined by Cameron [P. J. Cameron, A generalisation of t-designs, Discrete Math. 309 (2009), 4835--4842], we define a new class of combinatorial designs which simultaneously provide a generalization…

In this paper we study Tur\'an and Ramsey numbers in linear triple systems, defined as $3$-uniform hypergraphs in which any two triples intersect in at most one vertex. A famous result of Ruzsa and Szemer\'edi is that for any fixed $c>0$…

The square $G^2$ of a graph $G$ is the graph on $V(G)$ with a pair of vertices $uv$ an edge whenever $u$ and $v$ have distance $1$ or $2$ in $G$. Given graphs $G$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(G,H)$ is the minimum $N$ such that whenever the…

The goal of this paper is to show the existence (using probabilistic tools) of configurations of lines, boxes, and points with certain interesting combinatorial properties. (i) First, we construct a family of $n$ lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$…

In this paper we introduce a general framework for the study of limits of relational structures in general and graphs in particular, which is based on a combination of model theory and (functional) analysis. We show how the various…

The classical result in the theory of random graphs, proved by Erdos and Renyi in 1960, concerns the threshold for the appearance of the giant component in the random graph process. We consider a variant of this problem, with a Ramsey…

The $q$-color Ramsey number of a $k$-uniform hypergraph $G,$ denoted $r(G;q)$, is the minimum integer $N$ such that any coloring of the edges of the complete $k$-uniform hypergraph on $N$ vertices contains a monochromatic copy of $G$. The…

Given any graph $H$, a graph $G$ is said to be $q$-Ramsey for $H$ if every coloring of the edges of $G$ with $q$ colors yields a monochromatic subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Further, such a graph $G$ is said to be minimal $q$-Ramsey for $H$ if…

In a seminal paper from 1983, Burr and Erdos started the systematic study of Ramsey numbers of cliques vs. large sparse graphs, raising a number of problems. In this paper we develop a new approach to such Ramsey problems using a mix of the…

Size-Ramsey numbers are a central notion in combinatorics and have been widely studied since their introduction by Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp in 1978. Research has mainly focused on the size-Ramsey numbers of $n$-vertex graphs…

Let R be a commutative ring with unity (not necessarily finite). The ring R consider as a simple graph whose vertices are the elements of R with two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if xy=0 in R, where 0 is the zero element of R. In…

Ramsey's Theorem states that a graph $G$ has bounded order if and only if $G$ contains no complete graph $K_n$ or empty graph $E_n$ as its induced subgraph. The Gy\'arf\'as-Sumner conjecture says that a graph $G$ has bounded chromatic…

Using computational techniques we derive six new upper bounds on the classical two-color Ramsey numbers: R(3,10) <= 42, R(3,11) <= 50, R(3,13) <= 68, R(3,14) <= 77, R(3,15) <= 87, and R(3,16) <= 98. All of them are improvements by one over…

A statistical network model with overlapping communities can be generated as a superposition of mutually independent random graphs of varying size. The model is parameterized by the number of nodes, the number of communities, and the joint…

In this paper, we introduce a class of graphs which we call average hereditary graphs. Many graphs that occur in the usual graph theory applications belong to this class of graphs. Many popular types of graphs fall under this class, such as…

As a vital link between group theory and graph theory, Cayley graphs provide a geometric framework for encoding algebraic structures. This study explores the properties of Cayley graphs derived from cyclic groups whose order is the square…
