In this paper, given a parameter $k$, we demonstrate an infinite class of {\sc cnf}s of treewidth at most $k$ of their primary graphs such that the equivalent nondeterministic read-once branching programs ({\sc nrobp}s) are of size at least…
Limits of graphs were initiated recently in the two extreme contexts of dense and bounded degree graphs. This led to elegant limiting structures called graphons and graphings. These approach have been unified and generalized by authors in a…
Breaking of equivalence between the microcanonical ensemble and the canonical ensemble, describing a large system subject to hard and soft constraints, respectively, was recently shown to occur in large random graphs. Hard constraints must…
Given a network, the statistical ensemble of its graph-Voronoi diagrams with randomly chosen cell centers exhibits properties convertible into information on the network's large scale structures. We define a node-pair level measure called…
The celebrated theorem of Robertson and Seymour states that in the family of minor-closed graph classes, there is a unique minimal class of graphs of unbounded tree-width, namely, the class of planar graphs. In the case of tree-width, the…
We determine if the width of a graph class ${\cal G}$ changes from unbounded to bounded if we consider only those graphs from ${\cal G}$ whose diameter is bounded. As parameters we consider treedepth, pathwidth, treewidth and clique-width,…
In 2020, we initiated a systematic study of graph classes in which the treewidth can only be large due to the presence of a large clique, which we call $(\mathrm{tw},\omega)$-bounded. While $(\mathrm{tw},\omega)$-bounded graph classes are…
We asymptotically determine the maximum density of subgraphs isomorphic to $H$, where $H$ is any graph containing a dominating vertex, in graphs $G$ on $n$ vertices with bounded maximum degree and bounded clique number. That is, we…
It is known that families of graphs with a semialgebraic edge relation of bounded complexity satisfy much stronger regularity properties than arbitrary graphs, and that they can be decomposed into very homogeneous semialgebraic pieces up to…
Given an infinite word over the alphabet $\{0,1,2,3\}$, we define a class of bipartite hereditary graphs $\mathcal{G}^\alpha$, and show that $\mathcal{G}^\alpha$ has unbounded clique-width unless $\alpha$ contains at most finitely many…
Given an unweighted graph $G$, the *minimum $r$-dominating set problem* asks for the smallest-cardinality subset $S$ such that every vertex in $G$ is within radius $r$ of some vertex in $S$. While the $r$-dominating set problem on planar…
Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension is a fundamental measure of the generalization capacity of learning algorithms. However, apart from a few special cases, it is hard or impossible to calculate analytically. Vapnik et al. [10] proposed a…
We investigate the number of maximal cliques, i.e., cliques that are not contained in any larger clique, in three network models: Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs, inhomogeneous random graphs (also called Chung-Lu graphs), and geometric…
We develop a framework for algorithms finding the diameter in graphs of bounded distance Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension, in (parameterized) subquadratic time complexity. The class of bounded distance VC-dimension graphs is wide, including,…
The treewidth of a graph is an important invariant in structural and algorithmic graph theory. This paper studies the treewidth of line graphs. We show that determining the treewidth of the line graph of a graph $G$ is equivalent to…
The theory of dense graph limits comes with a natural sampling process which yields an inhomogeneous variant G(n,W) of the Erdos-Renyi random graph. Here we study the clique number of these random graphs. We establish the concentration of…
A set of vertices in a graph is a Hamiltonian subset if it induces a subgraph containing a Hamiltonian cycle. Kim, Liu, Sharifzadeh and Staden proved that among all graphs with minimum degree $d$, $K_{d+1}$ minimises the number of…
The spectral density of random graphs with topological constraints is analysed using the replica method. We consider graph ensembles featuring generalised degree-degree correlations, as well as those with a community structure. In each case…
We investigate the combinatorial discrepancy of geometric set systems having bounded shallow cell complexity in the \emph{Beck-Fiala} setting, where each point belongs to at most $t$ ranges. For set systems with shallow cell complexity…
Treewidth is a parameter that emerged from the study of minor closed classes of graphs (i.e. classes closed under vertex and edge deletion, and edge contraction). It in some sense describes the global structure of a graph. Roughly, a graph…
