The goal of this short paper to advertise the method of gauge transformations (aka holographic reduction, reparametrization) that is well-known in statistical physics and computer science, but less known in combinatorics. As an application…
We consider the question of determining the probability of triangle count deviations in the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs $G(n,m)$ and $G(n,p)$ with densities larger than $n^{-1/2}(\log{n})^{1/2}$. In particular, we determine the log…
The vertex isoperimetric number of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the minimum of the ratio $|\partial_{V}U|/|U|$ where $U$ ranges over all nonempty subsets of $V$ with $|U|/|V|\le u$ and $\partial_{V}U$ is the set of all vertices adjacent to $U$ but…
We study Geometric Graph Edit Distance (GGED), a graph-editing model to compute the minimum edit distance of intersection graphs that uses moving objects as an edit operation. We first show an $O(n\log n)$-time algorithm that minimises the…
The Euler genus of a graph is a fundamental and well-studied parameter in graph theory and topology. Computing it has been shown to be NP-hard by [Thomassen '89 & '93], and it is known to be fixed-parameter tractable. However, the…
Let $G(V, E)$ be a connected simple undirected graph. In this paper we prove that the edge metric dimension (introduced by Kelenc, Tratnik and Yero) of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n, p)$ is given by: $$\textrm{edim}(G(n, p)) = (1…
We make progress on three long standing conjectures from the 1960s about path and cycle decompositions of graphs. Gallai conjectured that any connected graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into at most $\left\lceil…
We investigate the problem of modifying a graph into a connected graph in which the degree of each vertex satisfies a prescribed parity constraint. Let $ea$, $ed$ and $vd$ denote the operations edge addition, edge deletion and vertex…
A straight-line drawing $\delta$ of a planar graph $G$ need not be plane, but can be made so by \emph{untangling} it, that is, by moving some of the vertices of $G$. Let shift$(G,\delta)$ denote the minimum number of vertices that need to…
Let $d,n\in \mathbb{N}$ be such that $d=\omega(1)$, and $d\le n^{1-a}$ for some constant $a>0$. Consider a $d$-regular graph $G=(V, E)$ and the random graph process that starts with the empty graph $G(0)$ and at each step $G(i)$ is obtained…
A soft random graph $G(n,r,p)$ can be obtained from the random geometric graph $G(n,r)$ by keeping every edge in $G(n,r)$ with probability $p$. The soft random simplicial complexes is a model for random simplicial complexes built over the…
An Eulerian orientation is an orientation of the edges of a graph such that every vertex is balanced: its in-degree equals its out-degree. Counting Eulerian orientations corresponds to the crucial partition function in so-called ``ice-type…
We show that the expected number of cliques in the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$ is $n^{\frac1{-2\log p}(\log n-2\log\log n+O(1))}$.
In directed random graphs, in which edges can be assigned to have one of two directions, or perhaps both, the distance between two vertices $v$ and $v'$ can be computed along paths that are directed from $v$ to $v'$, or along paths that are…
A graph $G$ is $k$-critical (list $k$-critical, DP $k$-critical) if $\chi(G)= k$ ($\chi_\ell(G)= k$, $\chi_\mathrm{DP}(G)= k$) and for every proper subgraph $G'$ of $G$, $\chi(G')<k$ ($\chi_\ell(G')< k$, $\chi_\mathrm{DP}(G')<k$). Let $f(n,…
We consider the next greedy randomized process for generating maximal H-free graphs: Given a fixed graph H and an integer n, start by taking a uniformly random permutation of the edges of the complete n-vertex graph. Then, construct an…
Graph sparsification is a well-established technique for accelerating graph-based learning algorithms, which uses edge sampling to approximate dense graphs with sparse ones. Because the sparsification error is random and unknown, users must…
We consider the problem of constructing a graph of minimum degree $k\ge 1$ in the following controlled random graph process, introduced recently by Frieze, Krivelevich and Michaeli. Suppose the edges of the complete graph on $n$ vertices…
The main contribution of this article is an asymptotic expression for the rate associated with moderate deviations of subgraph counts in the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,m)$. Our approach is based on applying Freedman's inequalities…
A Gallai $k$-colouring of a graph $G$ is a colouring of $E(G)$ with $k$ colours that induces no rainbow triangles, that is, a triangle with edges of 3 different colours. We give a first step towards estimating the number of Gallai…
