Asymptotic behaviour of maximum sizes of induced trees and forests has been studied extensively in last decades, though the overall picture is far from being complete. In this paper, we close several significant gaps: 1) We prove $2$-point…

We prove that with high probability maximum sizes of induced forests in dense binomial random graphs are concentrated in two consecutive values.

Kamaldinov, Skorkin, and Zhukovskii proved that the maximum size of an induced subtree in the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ is concentrated at two consecutive points, whenever $p\in(0,1)$ is a constant. Using improved bounds on the second…

Erd\H{o}s and Palka initiated the study of the maximal size of induced trees in random graphs in 1983. They proved that for every fixed $0<p<1$ the size of a largest induced tree in $G_{n,p}$ is concentrated around $2\log_q (np)$ with high…

We prove that a.a.s. the maximum size of an induced subtree of the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ is concentrated in 2 consecutive points. We also prove that, given a non-negative integer-valued function $t(k)<\varepsilon k^2$, under a…

We consider the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$, where $p$ is a constant, and answer the following two questions. First, given $e(k)=p{k\choose 2}+O(k)$, what is the maximum $k$ such that a.a.s.~the binomial random graph $G(n,p)$ has an…

An induced forest of a graph G is an acyclic induced subgraph of G. The present paper is devoted to the analysis of a simple randomised algorithm that grows an induced forest in a regular graph. The expected size of the forest it outputs…

Let $T(G)$ be the size of the largest induced tree of $G$, and let $G_{n,p}$ be the binomial random graph. Kamaldinov, Skorkin, and Zhukovskii proved that $T(G_{n,p})$ equals one of two consecutive values with high probability if $p$ is…

For a graph $G$, let $a(G)$ denote the maximum size of a subset of vertices that induces a forest. We prove the following. 1. Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$, maximum degree $\Delta>0$ and maximum clique size $\omega$. Then \[ a(G) \geq…

For the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph G(n,p), we give a precise asymptotic formula for the size of a largest vertex subset in G(n,p) that induces a subgraph with average degree at most t, provided that p = p(n) is not too small and t =…

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…

In this paper we study the diameter of the random graph $G(n,p)$, i.e., the the largest finite distance between two vertices, for a wide range of functions $p=p(n)$. For $p=\la/n$ with $\la>1$ constant, we give a simple proof of an…

For given graph $H$, the independence number $\alpha(H)$ of $H$, is the size of the maximum independent set of $V(H)$. Finding the maximum independent set in a graph is a NP-hard problem. Another version of the independence number is…

We prove that for all $0\leq t\leq k$ and $d\geq 2k$, every graph $G$ with treewidth at most $k$ has a `large' induced subgraph $H$, where $H$ has treewidth at most $t$ and every vertex in $H$ has degree at most $d$ in $G$. The order of $H$…
