We show that determining the chromatic number of a $\{P_5,\bar{P_5}\}$-free graph or a $\{P_5,K_p-e\}$-free graph can be done in polynomial time
In this paper we consider a dynamic version of the Chung-Lu random graph in which the edges alternate between being present and absent. The main contribution concerns a technique by which one can estimate the underlying dynamics from…
The present paper introduces a modified version of cyclic-monotone independence which originally arose in the context of random matrices, and also introduces its natural analogy called cyclic-Boolean independence. We investigate formulas…
In the first part of this paper, we consider weighted domination in the case where the vertices of the complete graph on~\(n\) vertices are equipped with independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) weights. We use the probabilistic…
Khovanov introduced a bigraded cohomology theory of links whose graded Euler characteristic is the Jones polynomial. The theory was subsequently applied to the chromatic polynomial of graph, resulting in a categorification known as the…
The chromatic polynomial $P(G,x)$ of a graph $G$ of order $n$ can be expressed as $\sum\limits_{i=1}^n(-1)^{n-i}a_{i}x^i$, where $a_i$ is interpreted as the number of broken-cycle free spanning subgraphs of $G$ with exactly $i$ components.…
We study hypergraphs which are uniquely determined by their chromatic, independence and matching polynomials. B. Bollob\'as, L. Pebody and O. Riordan (2000) conjectured (BPR-conjecture) that almost all graphs are uniquely determined by…
In this paper, we consider some general properties of block graphs as well as the equitable coloring problem in this class of graphs. In the first part we establish the relation between two structural parameters for general block graphs. We…
We prove that every subcubic triangle-free graph has fractional chromatic number at most 14/5, thus confirming a conjecture of Heckman and Thomas [A new proof of the independence ratio of triangle-free cubic graphs. Discrete Math. 233…
In this article we describe a new inductive approach to compute the chromatic polynomial of simple graphs and the characteristic polynomial of central hyperplane arrangements.
Fix $d\ge2$ and consider a uniformly random set $P$ of $n$ points in $[0,1]^{d}$. Let $G$ be the Hasse diagram of $P$ (with respect to the coordinatewise partial order), or alternatively let $G$ be the Delaunay graph of $P$ with respect to…
We present a method to estimate block membership of nodes in a random graph generated by a stochastic blockmodel. We use an embedding procedure motivated by the random dot product graph model, a particular example of the latent position…
The stochastic block model (SBM) provides a popular framework for modeling community structures in networks. However, more attention has been devoted to problems concerning estimating the latent node labels and the model parameters than the…
We study a model of random graph where vertices are $n$ i.i.d. uniform random points on the unit sphere $S^d$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, and a pair of vertices is connected if the Euclidean distance between them is at least $2- \epsilon$. We…
We develop tail estimates for the number of edges in a Chung-Lu random graph with regularly varying weight distribution. Our results show that the most likely way to have an unusually large number of edges is through the presence of one or…
In this work we show that with high probability the chromatic number of a graph sampled from the random regular graph model $\Gnd$ for $d=o(n^{1/5})$ is concentrated in two consecutive values, thus extending a previous result of Achlioptas…
Bicliques are complements of bipartite graphs; as such each consists of two cliques joined by a number of edges. In this paper we study algebraic aspects of the chromatic polynomials of these graphs. We derive a formula for the chromatic…
In this paper we prove that the limiting distribution of the Chromatic number of a random graph $\mathcal{G}_{n,p}$, with fixed edge-probability $p$, after appropriate centering and scaling is Normal, when the number of vertices $n$, goes…
As proved by Kahn, the chromatic number and fractional chromatic number of a line graph agree asymptotically. That is, for any line graph $G$ we have $\chi(G) \leq (1+o(1))\chi_f(G)$. We extend this result to quasi-line graphs, an important…
A distance graph is an undirected graph on the integers where two integers are adjacent if their difference is in a prescribed distance set. The independence ratio of a distance graph $G$ is the maximum density of an independent set in $G$.…
