The container methods are powerful tools to bound the number of independent sets of graphs and hypergraphs, and they have been extremely influential in the area of extremal and probabilistic combinatorics. We will focus on more specialized…
Suppose a graph has no large balanced bicliques, but has large minimum degree. Then what can we say about its induced subgraphs? This question motivates the study of degree-boundedness, which is like $\chi$-boundedness but for minimum…
Calculating the Shannon entropy for symbolic sequences has been widely considered in many fields. For descriptive statistical problems such as estimating the N-gram entropy of English language text, a common approach is to use as much data…
In this paper, we prove the first-order convergence law for the uniform attachment random graph with almost all vertices having the same degree. In the considered model, vertices and edges are introduced recursively: at time $m+1$ we start…
A graph is non-trivial if it contains at least one nonloop edge. The essential connectivity of $G$, denoted by $\kappa'(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices of $G$ whose removal produces a disconnected graph with at least two components…
It is well-known that in finite graphs, large complete minors/topological minors can be forced by assuming a large average degree. Our aim is to extend this fact to infinite graphs. For this, we generalise the notion of the relative end…
Maximum entropy null models of networks come in different flavors that depend on the type of constraints under which entropy is maximized. If the constraints are on degree sequences or distributions, we are dealing with configuration…
Matrix-based centrality measures have enjoyed significant popularity in network analysis, in no small part due to our ability to rigorously analyze their behavior as parameters vary. Recent work has considered the relationship between…
Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$. The eccentricity $e(v)$ of a vertex $v$ is the distance from $v$ to a vertex farthest from $v$. The average eccentricity of $G$ is the mean of all eccentricities in $G$. We give upper bounds on the…
Consider the setting of sparse graphs on N vertices, where the vertices have distinct "names", which are strings of length O(log N) from a fixed finite alphabet. For many natural probability models, the entropy grows as cN log N for some…
We propose a method to derive the stationary size distributions of a system, and the degree distributions of networks, using maximisation of the Gibbs-Shannon entropy. We apply this to a preferential attachment-type algorithm for systems of…
In this paper, the study of extreme value bounds for topological indices is crucial for understanding their influence on trees and bipartite graphs. For integers $\alpha, p$ satisfying $1 \leq p \leq \alpha \leq \Delta - 3$, the minimum…
This papers focuses on the average order of dominating sets of a graph. We find the extremal graphs for the maximum and minimum value over all graphs on $n$ vertices, while for trees we prove that the star minimizes the average order of…
To any graph we associate a sequence of integers called the gonality sequence of the graph, consisting of the minimum degrees of divisors of increasing rank on the graph. This is a tropical analogue of the gonality sequence of an algebraic…
We prove an asymptotically tight bound on the extremal density guaranteeing subdivisions of bounded-degree bipartite graphs with a mild separability condition. As corollaries, we answer several questions of Reed and Wood on embedding sparse…
A \emph{locally irregular graph} is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees. We say that a graph $G$ can be decomposed into $k$ locally irregular subgraphs if its edge set may be partitioned into $k$ subsets each of which…
The average distance of a vertex $v$ of a connected graph $G$ is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to all other vertices of $G$. The proximity $\pi(G)$ and the remoteness $\rho(G)$ of $G$ are the minimum and the maximum of the…
This article provides sharp bounds for the maximum number of edges possible in a simple graph with restricted values of two of the three parameters, namely, maxi- mum matching size, independence number and maximum degree. We also construct…
This paper derives bounds for two omnipresent information theoretic measures, the Shannon entropy and its complementary dual, the extropy. Based on a large size data set from a logconcave model, the said bounds are obtained for the entropy…
A coprime labeling of a graph $G$ is a labeling of the vertices of $G$ with distinct integers from $1$ to $k$ such that adjacent vertices have coprime labels. The minimum coprime number of $G$ is the least $k$ for which such a labeling…
