In 1979 Frankl conjectured that in a finite non-trivial union-closed collection of sets there has to be an element that belongs to at least half the sets. We show that this is equivalent to the conjecture that in a finite non-trivial graph…
Twisted hypercubes are generalizations of the Boolean hypercube, obtained by iteratively connecting two instances of a graph by a uniformly random perfect matching. Dudek et al. showed that when the two instances are independent, these…
We use a new coloured multi-graph constructive method to prove that every 2-tree decomposition can be realised in the plane as a bar-joint framework which is minimally rigid (isostatic) with respect to $\ell^1$ or $\ell^\infty$ distance…
In this work we give precise asymptotic expressions on the probability of the existence of fixed-size components at the threshold of connectivity for random geometric graphs.
We characterise the form of all simple, finite graphs for which the girth of the graph is equal to the circumference of the graph. We apply this to prove a bound on the number of edges in such a graph.
We analyse graphs in which each vertex is assigned random coordinates in a geometric space of arbitrary dimensionality and only edges between adjacent points are present. The critical connectivity is found numerically by examining the size…
We show that if the joints of a bar and joint framework $(G,p)$ are positioned as `generically' as possible subject to given symmetry constraints and $(G,p)$ possesses a `fully-symmetric' infinitesimal flex (i.e., the velocity vectors of…
The \emph{thinness} of a graph is a width parameter that generalizes some properties of interval graphs, which are exactly the graphs of thinness one. Graphs with thinness at most two include, for example, bipartite convex graphs. Many…
Sidorenko's conjecture states that the number of copies of any given bipartite graph in another graph of given density is asymptotically minimized by a random graph. The forcing conjecture further strengthens this, claiming that any…
This paper introduces new structures called conic frameworks and their rigidity. They are composed by agents and a set of directed constraints between pairs of agents. When the structure cannot be flexed while preserving the constraints, it…
Intuitively speaking, a bipartite graph is mirror if it can be drawn in the Cartesian plane in such a way that, the vertices of one stable are points in x=0, the vertices of the other stable set are points in x=1, the edges are straight…
Graphs that are squares under the gluing algebra arise in the study of homomorphism density inequalities such as Sidorenko's conjecture. Recent work has focused on these homomorphism density applications. This paper takes a new perspective…
A graph $G$ has the \emph{strong parity property} if for every subset $X\subseteq V$ with $|X|$ even, $G$ has a spanning subgraph $F$ with minimum degree at least one such that $d_F(v)\equiv 1\pmod 2$ for all $v\in X$, $d_F(y)\equiv 0\pmod…
We define the notion of affine rigidity of a hypergraph and prove a variety of fundamental results for this notion. First, we show that affine rigidity can be determined by the rank of a specific matrix which implies that affine rigidity is…
Let $F$ and $G$ be simple finite undirected graphs. A graph $G$ is called $F$-irregular if any two of its distinct vertices belong to different numbers of copies of $F$ in $G$. According to the strong conjecture about $F$-irregular graphs…
Fullerene graphs, i.e., 3-connected planar cubic graphs with pentagonal and hexagonal faces, are conjectured to be Hamiltonian. This is a special case of a conjecture of Barnette and Goodey, stating that 3-connected planar graphs with faces…
A framework is a graph and a map from its vertices to R^d. A framework is called universally rigid if there is no other framework with the same graph and edge lengths in R^d' for any d'. A framework attachment is a framework constructed by…
The theory of graph limits represents large graphs by analytic objects called graphons. Graph limits determined by finitely many graph densities, which are represented by finitely forcible graphons, arise in various scenarios, particularly…
We provide a way of determining the infinitesimal rigidity of rod configurations realizing a rank two incidence geometry in the Euclidean plane. We model each rod with a cone over its point set and prove that the resulting geometric…
In this paper, we identify two fractals if and only if they are biLipschitz equivalent. Fix ratio $r,$ for dust-like graph-directed sets with ratio $r$ and integer characteristics, we show that they are rigid in the sense that they are…
