Given graphs $F,H$ and $G$, we say that $G$ is $(F,H)_v$-Ramsey if every red/blue vertex colouring of $G$ contains a red copy of $F$ or a blue copy of $H$. Results of {\L}uczak, Ruci\'nski and Voigt and, subsequently, Kreuter determine the…

We study random subgraphs of an arbitrary finite connected transitive graph $\mathbb G$ obtained by independently deleting edges with probability $1-p$. Let $V$ be the number of vertices in $\mathbb G$, and let $\Omega$ be their degree. We…

Let $G$ be an edge-colored graph on $n$ vertices. For a vertex $v$, the \emph{color degree} of $v$ in $G$, denoted by $d^c(v)$, is the number of colors appearing on the edges incident with $v$. Denote by $\delta^c(G)=\min\{d^c(v):v\in…

Let $n\geq 6,k\geq 0$ be two integers. Let $H$ be a graph of order $n$ with $k$ components, each of which is an even cycle of length at least $6$ and $G$ be a bipartite graph with bipartition $(X,Y)$ such that $|X|=|Y|\geq n/2$. In this…

Given two graphs $H$ and $G$, an $H$-tiling is a family of vertex-disjoint copies of $H$ in $G$. A perfect $H$-tiling covers all vertices of $G$. The Corradi-Hajnal theorem (1963) states that an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with minimum degree…

What is the probability that the number of triangles in $\mathcal{G}_{n,p}$, the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph with edge density $p$, is at least twice its mean? Writing it as $\exp[- r(n,p)]$, already the order of the rate function…

The book number $b(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the maximum number of triangles sharing a common edge. A strengthening of Mantel's theorem due to Rademacher states that every $n$-vertex graph with more than $\lfloor n^2/4\rfloor$ edges contains at…

Consider the random subgraph process on a base graph $G$ on $n$ vertices: a sequence $\lbrace G_t \rbrace _{t=0} ^{|E(G)|}$ of random subgraphs of $G$ obtained by choosing an ordering of the edges of $G$ uniformly at random, and by…

A conjecture by Lichiardopol states that for every $k \ge 1$ there exists an integer $g(k)$ such that every digraph of minimum out-degree at least $g(k)$ contains $k$ vertex-disjoint directed cycles of pairwise distinct lengths. Motivated…

For a graph $G$, we denote by $\sigma_{2}(G)$ the minimum degree sum of two non-adjacent vertices if $G$ is non-complete; otherwise, $\sigma_{2}(G) = +\infty$. In this paper, we prove the following two results: (i) If $s_{1}, s_{2} \ge 2$…

We investigate the appearance of the square of a Hamilton cycle in the model of randomly perturbed graphs, which is, for a given $\alpha \in (0,1)$, the union of any $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree $\alpha n$ and the binomial random…

We study the number of edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles one can guarantee in a sufficiently large graph G on n vertices with minimum degree d = (1/2+a)n. For any constant a > 0, we give an optimal answer in the following sense: let…

Let $G$ be a tripartite graph with $N$ vertices in each vertex class. If each vertex is adjacent to at least $(2/3)N$ vertices in each of the other classes, then either $G$ contains a subgraph that consists of $N$ vertex-disjoint triangles…

We revisit the algorithmic problem of finding a triangle in a graph (\textsc{Triangle Detection}), and examine its relation to other problems such as \textsc{3Sum}, \textsc{Independent Set}, and \textsc{Graph Coloring}. We obtain several…

Given an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $d n$ for some fixed $d > 0$, the distribution $G \cup \mathbb{G}(n,p)$ over the supergraphs of $G$ is referred to as a (random) {\sl perturbation} of $G$. We consider the…

A subset $D\subseteq V_G$ is a dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V_G-D$ has a~neighbor in $D$, while $D$ is a paired-dominating set of $G$ if $D$ is a~dominating set and the subgraph induced by $D$ contains a perfect matching. A…

A classical result in extremal graph theory is Mantel's Theorem, which states that every maximum triangle-free subgraph of $K_n$ is bipartite. A sparse version of Mantel's Theorem is that, for sufficiently large $p$, every maximum…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding {\it bisections} (i.e., balanced bipartitions) in graphs. We prove the following two results for {\it all} graphs $G$: (1). $G$ has a bisection where each vertex $v$ has at least $(1/4 -…

We prove that for $k+1\geq 3$ and $c>(k+1)/2$ w.h.p. the random graph on $n$ vertices, $cn$ edges and minimum degree $k+1$ contains a (near) perfect $k$-matching. As an immediate consequence we get that w.h.p. the $(k+1)$-core of $G_{n,p}$,…

We aim to understand the extent to which the noise distribution in a planted signal-plus-noise problem impacts its computational complexity. To that end, we consider the planted clique and planted dense subgraph problems, but in a different…
