Consider a `dense' Erd\H{o}s--R\'enyi random graph model $G=G_{n,M}$ with $n$ vertices and $M$ edges, where we assume the edge density $M/\binom{n}{2}$ is bounded away from 0 and 1. Fix $k=k(n)$ with $k/n$ bounded away from 0 and~1, and let…
In a recent paper, Hunter, Milojevi\'c, Sudakov and Tomon consider the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph containing no copy of the complete bipartite graph $K_{s,s}$ and no induced copy of a "pattern" graph $H$. They conjecture…
In this paper, we develop efficient exact and approximate algorithms for computing a maximum independent set in random graphs. In a random graph $G$, each pair of vertices are joined by an edge with a probability $p$, where $p$ is a…
We resolve a conjecture of Hegarty regarding the number of edges in the square of a regular graph. If $G$ is a connected $d$-regular graph with $n$ vertices, the graph square of $G$ is not complete, and $G$ is not a member of two narrow…
Embedding graphs in a geographical or latent space, i.e.\ inferring locations for vertices in Euclidean space or on a smooth manifold or submanifold, is a common task in network analysis, statistical inference, and graph visualization. We…
Inspired by a concept in comparative genomics, we investigate properties of randomly chosen members of G_1(m,n,t), the set of bipartite graphs with $m$ left vertices, n right vertices, t edges, and each vertex of degree at least one. We…
We consider a random geometric graph $G(\chi_n, r_n)$, given by connecting two vertices of a Poisson point process $\chi_n$ of intensity $n$ on the unit torus whenever their distance is smaller than the parameter $r_n$. The model is…
A random graph order is a partial order achieved by independently sprinkling relations on a vertex set (each with probability $p$) and adding relations to satisfy the requirement of transitivity. A \textit{post} is an element in a partially…
Consider factorizations into transpositions of an n-cycle in the symmetric group S_n. To every such factorization we assign a monomial in variables w_{ij} that retains the transpositions used, but forgets their order. Summing over all…
A 2-packing set for an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subset $\mathcal{S} \subset V$ such that any two vertices $v_1,v_2 \in \mathcal{S}$ have no common neighbors. Finding a 2-packing set of maximum cardinality is a NP-hard problem. We…
Erd\H{o}s conjectured that every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph contains a subset of $\lfloor n/2\rfloor$ vertices that spans at most $n^2/50$ edges. Extending a recent result of Norin and Yepremyan, we confirm this conjecture for graphs…
An "edge guard set" of a plane graph $G$ is a subset $\Gamma$ of edges of $G$ such that each face of $G$ is incident to an endpoint of an edge in $\Gamma$. Such a set is said to guard $G$. We improve the known upper bounds on the number of…
We consider three classes of random graphs: edge random graphs, vertex random graphs, and vertex-edge random graphs. Edge random graphs are Erdos-Renyi random graphs, vertex random graphs are generalizations of geometric random graphs, and…
Let $G$ be a multigraph and $L\,:\,E(G) \to 2^\mathbb{N}$ be a list assignment on the edges of $G$. Suppose additionally, for every vertex $x$, the edges incident to $x$ have at least $f(x)$ colors in common. We consider a variant of local…
Given a graph embedded in an orientable surface, a process consisting of random excitations and random node and face balancing is constructed and analyzed. It is shown that given a priori bounds g' on the genus and n' on the number of…
A class $\mathcal{G}$ of graphs is called hereditary if it is closed under taking induced subgraphs. We denote by $G^{epex}$ the class of graphs that are at most one edge away from being in $\mathcal{G}$. We note that $G^{epex}$ is…
We consider the set of all graphs on n labeled vertices with prescribed degrees D=(d_1, ..., d_n). For a wide class of tame degree sequences D we prove a computationally efficient asymptotic formula approximating the number of graphs within…
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…
Random graphs defined by an occurrence probability that is invariant under node aggregation have been identified recently in the context of network renormalization. The invariance property requires that edges are drawn with a specific…
Let $G$ be a regular graph and $H$ a subgraph on the same vertex set. We give surprisingly compact formulas for the number of copies of $H$ one expects to find in a random subgraph of $G$.
