We show that, for any graph $F$ and $\eta>0$, there exists a $d_0=d_0(F,\eta)$ such that every $n$-vertex $d$-regular graph with $d \geq d_0$ has a collection of vertex-disjoint $F$-subdivisions covering at least $(1-\eta)n$ vertices. This…

In this paper, we refer to a asymptotic degree sequence as $\mathscr{D}=(d_1,d_2,\dots,d_n)$. The examination of topological indices on trees gives us a general overview through bounds to find the maximum and minimum bounds which reflect…

Let d = (d1, d2, ..., dn) be a vector of non-negative integers with even sum. We prove some basic facts about the structure of a random graph with degree sequence d, including the probability of a given subgraph or induced subgraph.…

In this paper we study expander graphs and their minors. Specifically, we attempt to answer the following question: what is the largest function $f(n,\alpha,d)$, such that every $n$-vertex $\alpha$-expander with maximum vertex degree at…

Given $d\in\mathbb{N}$, let $\alpha(d)$ be the largest real number such that every abstract simplicial complex $\mathcal{S}$ with $0<\vert\mathcal{S}\vert\leq\alpha(d)\vert V(\mathcal{S})\vert$ has a vertex of degree at most $d$. We extend…

Consider a graph $G$ with chromatic number $k$ and a collection of complete bipartite graphs, or bicliques, that cover the edges of $G$. We prove the following two results: \medskip \noindent $\bullet$ If the bicliques partition the edges…

O and Shi proved that the Randi\'c index of any graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $\delta$ and maximum degree at most $\Delta$ is at least $\frac{\sqrt{\delta\Delta}}{\delta+\Delta}|G|$, with equality if and only if the graph is…

- A hamiltonian graph $G$ verifying $e(G)>n(k-1)/2$ %with a vertex of degree greater or equal than $k$ contains any $k$-spider. - If $G$ is a graph with average degree $\bar{d} > k-1$, then every spider of size $k$ is contained in $G$ for…

Robertson and Seymour's celebrated Graph Minor Theorem states that graphs are well-quasi-ordered by the minor relation. Unlike the minor relation, the topological minor relation does not well-quasi-order graphs in general. Among all known…

Klimo\v{s}ov\'a, Piguet, and Rozho\v{n} conjectured that any graph with minimum degree $k/2$ and sufficiently many vertices of degree $k$ should contain all trees with $k$ edges. We prove an asymptotic version of this conjecture for dense…

We prove that any triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $d$ contains a bipartite induced subgraph of minimum degree at least $d^2/(2n)$. This is sharp up to a logarithmic factor in $n$. Relatedly, we show that the…

We prove that for every $d\geq 3$ the homomorphism order of the class of line graphs of finite graphs with maximal degree $d$ is universal. This means that every finite or countably infinite partially ordered set may be represented by line…

In 1975 Bollob\'{a}s, Erd\H{o}s, and Szemer\'{e}di asked what minimum degree guarantees an octahedral subgraph $K_3(2)$ in any tripartite graph $G$ with $n$ vertices in each vertex class. We show that $\delta(G)\geq n+2n^{\frac{5}{6}}$…

Let C(G) denote the set of lengths of cycles in a graph G. In the first part of this paper, we study the minimum possible value of |C(G)| over all graphs G of average degree d and girth g. Erdos conjectured that |C(G)| =\Omega(d^{\lfloor…

The famous Conway--Gordon--Sachs theorem for the complete graph on six vertices was extended to the general complete graph on $n$ vertices by Kazakov--Korablev as a congruence modulo $2$, and its integral lift was given by…

A minimal counterexample to the Erd\H{o}s-Gy\'arf\'as conjecture is a graph of minimum possible order and size with minimum degree at least 3 that contains no cycle whose length is a power of 2. Markstr\"om observed that any such graph must…

We improve the best known bounds on average degree of $k$-list-critical graphs for $k \ge 6$. Specifically, for $k \ge 7$ we show that every non-complete $k$-list-critical graph has average degree at least $k-1 + \frac{(k-3)^2 (2…

Classes with bounded expansion, which generalise classes that exclude a topological minor, have recently been introduced by Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il and Ossona de Mendez. These classes are defined by the fact that the maximum average degree of a…

We study minimum degree conditions under which a graph $G$ contains $k$th powers of paths and cycles of arbitrary specified lengths. We determine precise thresholds, assuming that the order of $G$ is large. This extends a result of Allen,…

It is known (Bollob\'{a}s (1978); Kostochka and Mazurova (1977)) that there exist graphs of maximum degree $\Delta$ and of arbitrarily large girth whose chromatic number is at least $c \Delta / \log \Delta$. We show an analogous result for…
