We investigate additive properties of sets $A,$ where $A=\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of real numbers, and the differences of consecutive elements are all distinct. It is known that $|A+B|\geq c|A||B|^{1/2}$ for any…

Operator learning has been highly successful for continuous mappings between infinite-dimensional spaces, such as PDE solution operators. However, many operators of interest-including differential operators-are discontinuous or set-valued,…

In this paper, we study the relationship between the mapping class group of an infinite-type surface and the simultaneous flip graph, a variant of the flip graph for infinite-type surfaces defined by Fossas and Parlier. We show that the…

We consider numbers and sizes of independent sets in graphs with minimum degree at least $d$, when the number $n$ of vertices is large. In particular we investigate which of these graphs yield the maximum numbers of independent sets of…

The maximal graph Dirichlet problem asks whether there exists a spacelike graph, in a semi-Euclidean space, with a given boundary and with mean curvature everywhere zero. We prove the existence of solutions to this problem under certain…

We discuss the question whether the existence of perfect matchings in a cubic graph can be seen from the spectrum of its adjacency matrix. For regular graphs in general and for three edge-disjoint perfect matchings in a cubic graph (that…

Reed and Wood and independently Norine, Seymour, Thomas, and Wollan proved that for each positive integer $t$ there is a constant $c(t)$ such that every graph on $n$ vertices with no $K_t$-minor has at most $c(t)n$ cliques. Wood asked in…

Let $X$ be a (repetitive) infinite connected simple graph with a finite upper bound $\Delta$ on the vertex degrees. The main theorem states that $X$ admits a (repetitive) limit aperiodic vertex coloring by $\Delta$ colors. This refines a…

WE determine the existence of exact (efficient) doubly dominating sets in three famous structures and in their complement for arbitrary graphs.

We study the problem of constructing explicit sparse graphs that exhibit strong vertex expansion. Our main result is the first two-sided construction of imbalanced unique-neighbor expanders, meaning bipartite graphs where small sets…

A graph is chordal if it contains no induced cycle of length four or more. While finite chordal graphs are precisely those admitting tree-decompositions into cliques, this fails for infinite graphs. We establish two results extending the…

We characterize hyperfinite bipartite graphings that admit measurable perfect matchings. In particular, we prove that every regular hyperfinite bipartite graphing admits a measurable perfect matching if it is one-ended or the degree is odd.…

We show that if the second eigenvalue $\lambda$ of a $d$-regular graph $G$ on $n \in 3 \mathbb{Z}$ vertices is at most $\varepsilon d^2/(n \log n)$, for a small constant $\varepsilon > 0$, then $G$ contains a triangle-factor. The bound on…

We give a detailed and easily accessible proof of Gromov's Topological Overlap Theorem. Let $X$ be a finite simplicial complex or, more generally, a finite polyhedral cell complex of dimension $d$. Informally, the theorem states that if $X$…

Lovasz and Plummer conjectured that there exists a fixed positive constant c such that every cubic n-vertex graph with no cutedge has at least 2^(cn) perfect matchings. Their conjecture has been verified for bipartite graphs by Voorhoeve…

In graph theory, knowing the number of complete subgraphs with r vertices that a graph g has, limits the number of its complete subgraphs with s vertices, for s > r. A useful upper bound is provided by the Kruskal-Katona theorem, but this…

For a positive constant $\alpha$ a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is called an $\alpha$-expander if every vertex set $U$ of size at most $n/2$ has an external neighborhood whose size is at least $\alpha\left|U\right|$. We study cycle lengths in…
