Suppose in a graph $G$ vertices can be either red or blue. Let $k$ be odd. At each time step, each vertex $v$ in $G$ polls $k$ random neighbours and takes the majority colour. If it doesn't have $k$ neighbours, it simply polls all of them,…

Graphlets are subgraphs rooted at a fixed vertex. The number of occurrences of graphlets aligned to a particular vertex, called graphlet degree sequence (gds), gives a topological description of the surrounding of the analyzed vertex.…

An integer-valued sequence $\pi=(d_1, \ldots, d_n)$ is {\em graphic} if there is a simple graph $G$ with degree sequence of $\pi$. We say the $\pi$ has a realization $G$. Let $Z_3$ be a cyclic group of order three. A graph $G$ is {\em…

There has been significant recent interest in graph-based nearest neighbor search methods, many of which are centered on the construction of navigable graphs over high-dimensional point sets. A graph is navigable if we can successfully move…

For every positive integer $n$, we find a complete classification for planar graphs according to the collection of numbers of common neighbours for every $n$-tuple of distinct vertices. Our results expand the literature on planar graphical…

The local minimum degree of a graph is the minimum degree reached by means of a series of local complementations. In this paper, we investigate on this quantity which plays an important role in quantum computation and quantum error…

The recently introduced \emph{Degree Preserving Growth} model (Nature Physics, \DOI{10.1038/s41567-021-01417-7}) uses matchings to insert new vertices of prescribed degrees into the current graph of an ever-growing graph sequence. The…

The singularity degree of a semidefinite programming problem is the smallest number of facial reduction steps to make the problem strictly feasible. We introduce two new graph parameters, called the singularity degree and the nondegenerate…

Given a set D of nonnegative integers, we derive the asymptotic number of graphs with a givenvnumber of vertices, edges, and such that the degree of every vertex is in D. This generalizes existing results, such as the enumeration of graphs…

Let $N_2DL(v)$ denote the set of degrees of vertices at distance 2 from $v$. The $2$-neighborhood degree list of a graph is a listing of $N_2DL(v)$ for every vertex $v$. A degree restricted $2$-switch on edges $v_1v_2$ and $w_1w_2$, where…

The problem of realizing a given degree sequence by a multigraph can be thought of as a relaxation of the classical degree realization problem (where the realizing graph is simple). This paper concerns the case where the realizing…

In hypergraph theory, determining a characterization of the degree sequence $d=(d_1,d_2,\ldots,d_n)$ where $d_1\ge d_2\ge\ldots,d_n$ are positive integers, of an $h$-uniform simple hypergraph $\cal H$, and deciding the complexity status of…

A digraph $D$ is an oriented graph if $D$ does not have a pair of opposite arcs. The degree of a vertex $v$ of $D$ is the sum of the in-degree and out-degree of $v.$ Let $fvs(D)$ be the minimum number of vertices whose deletion from $D$…

We show that the number of perfect matching in a simple graph $G$ with an even number of vertices and degree sequence $d_1,d_2, ..., d_n$ is at most $\prod_{i=1}^n (d_i !)^{\frac{1}{2d_i}}$. This bound is sharp if and only if $G$ is a union…

We study the degree landscape of the partition graph $G_n$, whose vertices are the integer partitions of $n$ and whose edges correspond to elementary transfers of one unit between parts, followed by reordering. Using the previously…

We study the following fundamental realization problem of directed acyclic graphs (dags). Given a sequence S:=(a_1,b_1),...,(a_n, b_n) with a_i, b_i in Z_0^+, does there exist a dag (no parallel arcs allowed) with labeled vertex set V:=…
