The theory of graphons comes with the so-called cut norm and the derived cut distance. The cut norm is finer than the weak* topology (when considering the predual of $L^{1}$-functions). Dole\v{z}al and Hladk\'y [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 137…

For a finite graph $F$ and a value $p \in [0,1]$, let $I(F,p)$ denote the largest $y$ for which there is a sequence of graphs of edge density approaching $p$ so that the induced $F$-density of the sequence approaches $y$. We show that for…

Whiteley \cite{wh} gives a complete characterization of the infinitesimal flexes of complete bipartite frameworks. Our work generalizes a specific infinitesimal flex to include joined graphs, a family of graphs that contain the complete…

A set $D$ of vertices is a strong dominating set in a graph $G$, if for every vertex $x\in V(G) \setminus D$ there is a vertex $y\in D$ with $xy\in E(G)$ and $deg(x) \leq deg(y)$. The strong domination number $\gamma_{st}(G)$ of $G$ is the…

Recent years have witnessed fast developments of graph neural networks (GNNs) that have benefited myriad graph analytic tasks and applications. Most GNNs rely on the homophily assumption that nodes belonging to the same class are more…

Graphons are analytic objects associated with convergent sequences of dense graphs. Finitely forcible graphons, i.e., those determined by finitely many subgraph densities, are of particular interest because of their relation to various…

A graph is $k$-degenerate if every subgraph $H$ has a vertex $v$ with $d_{H}(v) \leq k$. The class of degenerate graphs plays an important role in the graph coloring theory. Observed that every $k$-degenerate graph is $(k + 1)$-choosable…

For a finite family $\mathcal{F}$ of fixed graphs let $R_k(\mathcal{F})$ be the smallest integer $n$ for which every $k$-coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ yields a monochromatic copy of some $F\in\mathcal{F}$. We say that…

In many network problems, graphs may change by the addition of nodes, or the same problem may need to be solved in multiple similar graphs. This generates inefficiency, as analyses and systems that are not transferable have to be…

Let $v(F)$ denote the number of vertices in a fixed connected pattern graph $F$. We show an infinite family of patterns $F$ such that the existence of a subgraph isomorphic to $F$ is expressible by a first-order sentence of quantifier depth…

We propose a family of models to study the evolution of ties in a network of interacting agents by reinforcement and penalization of their connections according to certain local laws of interaction. The family of stochastic dynamical…

A self-contained graph is an infinite graph which is isomorphic to one of its proper induced subgraphs. In this paper, these graphs are studied by presenting some examples and defining some of their sub-structures such as removable…

Using the natural action of $S_\infty$ we show that a countable hereditary class $\mathcal C$ of finitely generated structures has the joint embedding property (JEP) and the weak amalgamation property (WAP) if and only if there is a…

The graph $G$ is said to be strongly regular with parameters $(n,k,\lambda,\mu)$ if the following conditions hold: (1) each vertex has $k$ neighbours; (2) any two adjacent vertices of $G$ have $\lambda$ common neighbours; (3) any two…

Let {\cal G}=(G,w) be a positive-weighted simple finite graph, that is, let G be a simple finite graph endowed with a function w from the set of the edges of G to the set of the positive real numbers. For any subgraph G' of G, we define…

How can the `affinity' or `strength' of ties of a random graph be characterized and compactly represented? How can concepts like Fourier and inverse-Fourier like transform be developed for graph data? To do so, we introduce a new…

Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) are a widely used method for graph representation learning. To elucidate the capabilities and limitations of GCNs, we investigate their power, as a function of their number of layers, to distinguish…

We consider random sub-graphs of a fixed graph $G=(V,E)$ with large minimum degree. We fix a positive integer $k$ and let $G_k$ be the random sub-graph where each $v\in V$ independently chooses $k$ random neighbors, making $kn$ edges in…

A step-graphon has the strong (resp., weak) $H$-property if a directed, random graph sampled from it has a Hamilton cycle (resp., a node-wise disjoint cycle cover) asymptotically almost surely. The weak/strong $H$-property is essentially a…

In this work we take a step towards characterising strongly flip-flat classes of graphs. Strong flip-flatness appears to be the analogue of uniform almost-wideness in the setting of dense classes of graphs. We prove that strongly flip-flat…
