In this paper we describe a triple correspondence between graph limits, information theory and group theory. We put forward a new graph limit concept called log-convergence that is closely connected to dense graph limits but its main…

Let $\Lambda(T)$ denote the set of leaves in a tree $T$. One natural problem is to look for a spanning tree $T$ of a given graph $G$ such that $\Lambda(T)$ is as large as possible. This problem is called maximum leaf number, and it is a…

We prove essentially tight lower bounds, conditionally to the Exponential Time Hypothesis, for two fundamental but seemingly very different cutting problems on surface-embedded graphs: the Shortest Cut Graph problem and the Multiway Cut…

We establish a threshold for the connectivity of certain random graphs whose (dependent) edges are determined by the uniform distributions on generalized Orlicz balls, crucially using their negative correlation properties. We also show the…

We determine a lower bound for the number of edges of a 2-connected maximal nontraceable graph, and present a construction of an infinite family of maximal nontraceable graphs that realize this bound.

The Erd\H{o}s-Lov\'asz Tihany Conjecture states that any $G$ with chromatic number $\chi(G) = s + t - 1 > \omega(G)$, with $s,t \geq 2$ can be split into two vertex-disjoint subgraphs of chromatic number $s, t$ respectively. We prove this…

We propose a notion of graph convergence that interpolates between the Benjamini--Schramm convergence of bounded degree graphs and the dense graph convergence developed by L\'aszl\'o Lov\'asz and his coauthors. We prove that spectra of…

Let $\mathbf G$ be a graphing, that is a Borel graph defined by $d$ measure preserving involutions. We prove that if $\mathbf G$ is {\em treeable} then it arises as the local limit of some sequence $(G_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ of graphs with…

The Tur\'{a}n number of a graph $H$ is the maximum number of edges in any graph of order $n$ that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. In 1959, Erd\H os and Gallai obtained a sharp upper bound of Tur\'{a}n numbers for a path of arbitrary…

Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'asz noticed that an $r$-uniform intersecting hypergraph $H$ with maximal covering number, that is $\tau(H)=r$, must have at least $\frac{8}{3}r-3$ edges. There has been no improvement on this lower bound for 45 years. We…

Applying a well-known theorem due to Eidelheit, we give a short proof of the surjectivity of the combinatorial Laplacian on connected locally finite undirected simplicial graph $G$ with countably infinite vertex set $V$, established by…

The well-known Erd\H{o}s-Gallai Theorem gave the Tur\'an number of paths. Bushaw and Kettle generalized this result to consider the Tur\'an number of disjoint paths. Since then, many studies are focused on the Tur\'an number of linear…

An extremal graph for a graph $H$ on $n$ vertices is a graph on $n$ vertices with maximum number of edges that does not contain $H$ as a subgraph. Let $T_{n,r}$ be the Tur\'{a}n graph, which is the complete $r$-partite graph on $n$ vertices…

The concept of maximum local connectivity $\bar {\kappa}$ of a graph was introduced by Bollob\'{a}s. One of the problems about it is to determine the largest number of edges $f(n;\bar{\kappa}\leq \ell)$ for graphs of order $n$ that have…

In 2004, Karo\'nski, \L uczak and Thomason proposed $1$-$2$-$3$-conjecture: For every nice graph $G$ there is an edge weighting function $ w:E(G)\rightarrow\{1,2,3\} $ such that the induced vertex coloring is proper. After that, the total…

We prove several results about three families of graphs. For queen graphs, defined from the usual moves of a chess queen, we find the edge-chromatic number in almost all cases. In the unproved case, we have a conjecture supported by a vast…

We improve the best known upper bound on the number of edges in a unit-distance graph on $n$ vertices for each $n\in\{16,\ldots,30\}$. When $n\leq 21$, our bounds match the best known lower bounds, and we fully enumerate the densest…
