Conventionally used exponential random graphs cannot directly model weighted networks as the underlying probability space consists of simple graphs only. Since many substantively important networks are weighted, this limitation is…

We introduce a method for the theoretical analysis of exponential random graph models. The method is based on a large-deviations approximation to the normalizing constant shown to be consistent using theory developed by Chatterjee and…

In communication field, an important issue is to group users and base stations to as many as possible subnetworks satisfying certain interference constraints. These problems are usually formulated as a graph partition problems which…

The famous lower bound $\alpha(G)\geq \sum_{u\in V(G)}\frac{1}{d_G(u)+1}$ on the independence number $\alpha(G)$ of a graph $G$ due to Caro and Wei is known to be tight if and only if the components of $G$ are cliques, and has been…

The $k$-core of a graph is the maximal subgraph in which every node has degree at least~$k$, the shell index of a node is the largest $k$ such that the $k$-core contains the node, and the degeneracy of a graph is the largest shell index of…

In this note we give a new upper bound for the Laplacian eigenvalues of an unweighted graph. Let $G$ be a simple graph on $n$ vertices. Let $d_{m}(G)$ and $\lambda_{m+1}(G)$ be the $m$-th smallest degree of $G$ and the $m+1$-th smallest…

A graph $G$ is said to be a $k$-degenerate graph if any subgraph of $G$ contains a vertex of degree at most $k$. Let $\kappa$ be any non-negative function on the vertex set of $G$. We first define a $\kappa$-degenerate graph. Next we give…

We prove that every graph of minimum degree at least $d \ge 1$ contains a subdivision of some maximal 3-degenerate graph of order $d+1$. This generalizes the classic results of Dirac ($d=3$) and Pelik\'an ($d=4$). We conjecture that for any…

The edge-degeneracy model is an exponential random graph model that uses the graph degeneracy, a measure of the graph's connection density, and number of edges in a graph as its sufficient statistics. We show this model is relatively…

The smallest number of edges forming an n-uniform hypergraph which is not r-colorable is denoted by m(n,r). Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'{a}sz conjectured that m(n,2)=\theta(n 2^n)$. The best known lower bound m(n,2)=\Omega(sqrt(n/log(n)) 2^n) was…

Given a digraph $D=(V,A)$ on $n$ vertices and a vertex $v\in V$, the cycle-degree of $v$ is the minimum size of a set $S \subseteq V(D) \setminus \{v\}$ intersecting every directed cycle of $D$ containing $v$. From this definition of…

We define a family of weak thresholding greedy algorithms for the multivariate Haar basis for $L_1[0,1]^d$ ($d \ge 1$). We prove convergence and uniform boundedness of the weak greedy approximants for all $f \in L_1[0,1]^d$.

A well-known conjecture by Harris states that any triangle-free $d$-degenerate graph has fractional chromatic number at most $O\left(\frac{d}{\ln d}\right)$. This conjecture has gained much attention in recent years, and is known to have…

The Linear Arboricity Conjecture asserts that the linear arboricity of a graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ is $\lceil (\Delta+1)/2 \rceil$. For a $2k$-regular graph $G$, this implies $la(G) = k+1$. In this note, we utilize a network flow…

A recent upper bound by Le and Solomon [STOC '23] has established that every $n$-node graph has a $(1+\varepsilon)(2k-1)$-spanner with lightness $O(\varepsilon^{-1} n^{1/k})$. This bound is optimal up to its dependence on $\varepsilon$; the…

Let $f$ be a nonnegative integer valued function on the vertex set of a graph. A graph is \textbf{strictly $f$-degenerate} if each nonempty subgraph $\Gamma$ has a vertex $v$ such that $\mathrm{deg}_{\Gamma}(v) < f(v)$. In this paper, we…

One of the major results of [N. Robertson and P. D. Seymour. Graph minors. XIII. The disjoint paths problem. J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 63(1):65--110, 1995], also known as the weak structure theorem, revealed the local structure of graphs…

Bounded expansion and nowhere-dense classes of graphs capture the theoretical tractability for several important algorithmic problems. These classes of graphs can be characterized by the so-called weak coloring numbers of graphs, which…

A graph H is common if the number of monochromatic copies of H in a 2-edge-coloring of the complete graph is asymptotically minimized by the random coloring. The classification of common graphs is one of the most intriguing problems in…

Uncertainty principles present an important theoretical tool in signal processing, as they provide limits on the time-frequency concentration of a signal. In many real-world applications the signal domain has a complicated irregular…
