For a fixed graph H with t vertices, an H-factor of a graph G with n vertices, where t divides n, is a collection of vertex disjoint (not necessarily induced) copies of H in G covering all vertices of G. We prove that for a fixed tree T on…

Let $\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_n$ be the eigenvalues of a graph $G$. For any $k\geq 0$, the $k$-th spectral moment of $G$ is defined by $\M_k(G)=\lambda_1^k+\dots+\lambda_n^k$. We use the fact that $\M_k(G)$ is also the number of closed walks…

Let $G$ be a graph and $a(G)$, LIF$(G)$ denote the maximum orders of an induced forest and an induced linear forest of $G$, respectively. It is well-known that if $G$ is an $r$-regular graph of order $n$, then $a(G) \geq \frac{2}{r+1}n$. In…

An identifying code of a closed-twin-free graph $G$ is a dominating set $S$ of vertices of $G$ such that any two vertices in $G$ have a distinct intersection between their closed neighborhoods and $S$. It was conjectured that there exists…

For a real c \geq 1 and an integer n, let f(n,c) denote the maximum integer f so that every graph on n vertices contains an induced subgraph on at least f vertices in which the maximum degree is at most c times the minimum degree. Thus, in…

Let $G$ be a graph, $S \subseteq V(G)$ be a vertex set in $G$ and $r$ be a positive integer. The distance $r$-independence number of $S$ is the size of the largest subset $I \subseteq S$ such that no pair $u$, $v$ of vertices in $I$ have a…

The induced matching width of a tree decomposition of a graph $G$ is the cardinality of a largest induced matching $M$ of $G$, such that there exists a bag that intersects every edge in $M$. The induced matching treewidth of a graph $G$,…

Consider a graph $G$ with a path $P$ of order $n$. What conditions force $G$ to also have a long induced path? As complete bipartite graphs have long paths but no long induced paths, a natural restriction is to forbid some fixed complete…

For any $\alpha\in (0,1)$ and any $n^{\alpha}\leq d\leq n/2$, we show that $\lambda(G)\leq C_\alpha \sqrt{d}$ with probability at least $1-\frac{1}{n}$, where $G$ is the uniform random $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices, $\lambda(G)$ denotes…

We study the model $G_\alpha\cup G(n,p)$ of randomly perturbed dense graphs, where $G_\alpha$ is any $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $\alpha n$ and $G(n,p)$ is the binomial random graph. We introduce a general approach for…

We describe the structure of those graphs that have largest spectral radius in the class of all connected graphs with a given degree sequence. We show that in such a graph the degree sequence is non-increasing with respect to an ordering of…

We study the problem of efficiently finding large common induced subgraphs of two independent Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graphs $G_1, G_2 \sim \mathbb{G}(n,1/2)$. Recently, Chatterjee and Diaconis showed that the largest common induced…

The random coloured graph $G_c(n,p)$ is obtained from the Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ by assigning to each edge a colour from a set of $c$ colours independently and uniformly at random. It is not hard to see that,…
