The goal of this paper is to provide a general purpose result for the coupling of exploration processes of random graphs, both undirected and directed, with their local weak limits when this limit is a marked Galton-Watson process. This…
We establish a sharp edge-connectivity estimate for graphs with non-negative Bakry-\'Emery curvature. This leads to a geometric criterion for the existence of a perfect matching. Precisely, we show that any regular graph with non-negative…
We study regular graphs in which the random walks starting from a positive fraction of vertices have small mixing time. We prove that any such graph is virtually an expander and has no small separator. This answers a question of Pak [SODA,…
We introduce and study a novel semi-random multigraph process, described as follows. The process starts with an empty graph on $n$ vertices. In every round of the process, one vertex $v$ of the graph is picked uniformly at random and…
Aldous and Fill conjectured that the maximum relaxation time for the random walk on a connected regular graph with $n$ vertices is $(1+o(1)) \frac{3n^2}{2\pi^2}$. This conjecture can be rephrased in terms of the spectral gap as follows: the…
We construct highly edge-connected $r$-regular graph which do not contain $r-2$ pairwise disjoint perfect matchings. The results partially answer a question stated by Thomassen [Factorizing regular graphs, J. Comb. Theory Ser. B (2019),…
An algorithm observes the trajectories of random walks over an unknown graph $G$, starting from the same vertex $x$, as well as the degrees along the trajectories. For all finite connected graphs, one can estimate the number of edges $m$ up…
For planar graphs, it is well known that high connectivity implies a Hamiltonian cycle and hence any 4-connected planar graph has a near-perfect matching. Nevertheless, whether 6-connected 1-planar graphs admit near-perfect matchings…
We address the correspondence search problem among multiple graphs with complex properties while considering the matching consistency. We describe each pair of graphs by combining multiple attributes, then jointly match them in a unified…
A graph is \emph{hamiltonian-connected} if every pair of vertices can be connected by a hamiltonian path, and it is \emph{hamiltonian} if it contains a hamiltonian cycle. We construct families of non-hamiltonian graphs for which the ratio…
We study some percolation problems on the complete graph over $\mathbf N$. In particular, we give sharp sufficient conditions for the existence of (finite or infinite) cliques and paths in a random subgraph. No specific assumption on the…
Consider a simple graph in which a random walk begins at a given vertex. It moves at each step with equal probability to any neighbor of its current vertex, and ends when it has visited every vertex. We call such a random walk a random…
Distance-regular graphs are a key concept in Algebraic Combinatorics and have given rise to several generalizations, such as association schemes. Motivated by spectral and other algebraic characterizations of distance-regular graphs, we…
In this paper, our goal is to characterize two graph classes based on the properties of minimal vertex (edge) separators. We first present a structural characterization of graphs in which every minimal vertex separator is a stable set. We…
Circulant graphs are a widely studied family of graphs whose members possess varying amounts of symmetry. Although considerable progress has been made in finding the automorphism groups of circulant graphs under certain restrictions, a…
We consider a modified random walk which uses unvisited edges whenever possible, and makes a simple random walk otherwise. We call such a walk an edge-process. We assume there is a rule A, which tells the walk which unvisited edge to use…
Small-world graphs, which combine randomized and structured elements, are seen as prevalent in nature. Jon Kleinberg showed that in some graphs of this type it is possible to route, or navigate, between vertices in few steps even with very…
Characterizations graphs of some classes to induce periodic Grover walks have been studied for recent years. In particular, for the strongly regular graphs, it has been known that there are only three kinds of such graphs. Here, we focus on…
We investigate the concept of effective resistance in connection graphs, expanding its traditional application from undirected graphs. We propose a robust definition of effective resistance in connection graphs by focusing on the duality of…
Random intersection graphs are characterized by three parameters: $n$, $m$ and $p$, where $n$ is the number of vertices, $m$ is the number of objects, and $p$ is the probability that a given object is associated with a given vertex. Two…
