Let ${\cal{F}}=\{F_1,F_2,\ldots\}$ be a sequence of graphs such that $F_n$ is a graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree at most $\Delta$. We show that there exists an absolute constant $C$ such that the vertices of any 2-edge-colored…

We prove that there is a constant $c >0$, such that whenever $p \ge n^{-c}$, with probability tending to 1 when $n$ goes to infinity, every maximum triangle-free subgraph of the random graph $G_{n,p}$ is bipartite. This answers a question…

In 1995, Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi showed that every large $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2 + \gamma)n$ contains all spanning trees of bounded degree. We consider a generalization of this result to loose…

Let $d\ge 3$ be a fixed integer. Let $y:= y(p)$ be the probability that the root of an infinite $d$-regular tree belongs to an infinite cluster after $p$-bond-percolation. We show that for every constants $b,\alpha>0$ and $1<\lambda< d-1$,…

The super-neighborhood of a vertex set $A$ in a graph $G$, denoted by $\Lambda^2(A)$, is the set of vertices adjacent to at least two vertices in $A$. We say that a bipartite graph $G=(X, Y)$ with $|X| \geq 2$ satisfies the double Hall…

For any small constant $\epsilon>0$, the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,\frac{1+\epsilon}{n})$ with high probability has a unique largest component which contains $(1\pm O(\epsilon))2\epsilon n$ vertices. Let $G_c(n,p)$ be obtained by…

A graph H is strongly immersed in G if G is obtained from H by a sequence of vertex splittings (i.e., lifting some pairs of incident edges and removing the vertex) and edge removals. Equivalently, vertices of H are mapped to distinct…

Liu, Hong, Gu, and Lai proved if the second largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of graph $G$ with minimum degree $\delta \ge 2m+2 \ge 4$ satisfies $\lambda_2(G) < \delta - \frac{2m+1}{\delta+1}$, then $G$ contains at least $m+1$…

We prove that, among rectangular grid graphs with a fixed number of vertices, the number of spanning trees increases when the side lengths are made more balanced. In particular, among all rectangular grid graphs with $n^2$ vertices, the…

In this paper, we prove that every $n$-vertex connected $K_{1,5}$-free graph $G$ with $\sigma_4(G)\geq n-1$ contains a spanning tree with at most $5$ leaves and branch vertices in total. Moreover, the degree sum condition "$\sigma_4(G)\geq…

We show that every locally sparse graph contains a linearly sized expanding subgraph. For constants $c_1>c_2>1$, $0<\alpha<1$, a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is called a $(c_1,c_2,\alpha)$-graph if it has at least $c_1n$ edges, but every…
