We study the problem of compressing a weighted graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, building a "sketch" $H$ of $G$, so that given any vector $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$, the value $x^T L_G x$ can be approximated up to a multiplicative $1+\epsilon$ factor…

A seminal palette sparsification result of Assadi, Chen, and Khanna states that in every $n$-vertex graph of maximum degree $\Delta$, sampling $\Theta(\log n)$ colors per vertex from $\{1, \ldots, \Delta+1\}$ almost certainly allows for a…

A graph $G$ is $k$-locally sparse if for each vertex $v \in V(G)$, the subgraph induced by its neighborhood contains at most $k$ edges. Alon, Krivelevich, and Sudakov showed that for $f > 0$ if a graph $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ is…

We study random integer-valued Lipschitz functions on regular trees. It was shown by Peled, Samotij and Yehudayoff that such functions are localized, however, finer questions about the structure of Gibbs measures remain unanswered. Our main…

Ginzburg--Landau (GL) functionals on graphs, which are relaxations of graph-cut functionals on graphs, have yielded a variety of insights in image segmentation and graph clustering. In this paper, we study large-graph limits of GL…

Let (X,d) be a metric space and $ \alpha > 0 $. In this paper, we study extensions of some complex-valued Lipschitz functions, from some special subset $ X_0 $ to X. These extensions are with no-increasing Lipschitz number or the smallest…

Given two graphs $G$ and $H$ with $H\subseteq G$ we consider the anti-Ramsey function $AR(G,H)$ which is the maximum number of colors in any edge-coloring of $G$ so that every copy of $H$ receives the same color on at least one pair of…

A {\it fractional matching} of a graph $G$ is a function $f$ giving each edge a number in $[0,1]$ so that $\sum_{e \in \Gamma(v)} f(e) \le 1$ for each $v\in V(G)$, where $\Gamma(v)$ is the set of edges incident to $v$. The {\it fractional…

A replacement action is a function $\mathcal{L}$ that maps each graph $H$ to a collection of graphs of size at most $|V(H)|$. Given a graph class $\mathcal{H}$, we consider a general family of graph modification problems, called…

We investigate the convergence rate of the recently proposed subgradient-push method for distributed optimization over time-varying directed graphs. The subgradient-push method can be implemented in a distributed way without requiring…

We aim to learn a sparse and connected graph from sparse data, where the number of observations K can be substantially smaller than the signal dimension N for signals x in R^N, and the underlying distribution is unknown. In this severely…

The simple graphs $G=(V,E)$ that satisfy $|E'|\leq 2|V'|-l$ for any subgraph (and for $l=1,2,3$) are the $(2,l)$-sparse graphs. Those that also satisfy $|E|=2|V|-l$ are the $(2,l)$-tight graphs. These can be characterised by their…

We study the linear list chromatic number, denoted $\lcl(G)$, of sparse graphs. The maximum average degree of a graph $G$, denoted $\mad(G)$, is the maximum of the average degrees of all subgraphs of $G$. It is clear that any graph $G$ with…

The Lipschitz space of an infinite (locally-finite) graph is defined as the set of functions on the vertices of the graph such that the differences of the values between adjacent vertices remain bounded. In this paper we prove that this set…

Let $mH$ be the graph formed by $m$ vertex-disjoint copies of a graph $H$. Let $G \to (H)_r$ denote that, in any $r$-colouring of the edges of $G$, there exists a monochromatic copy of $H$. In 1975, Burr, Erd\H{o}s, and Spencer showed that…

For a graph $H$ and an integer $n$, we let $nH$ denote the disjoint union of $n$ copies of $H$. In 1975, Burr, Erd\H{o}s, and Spencer initiated the study of Ramsey numbers for $nH$, one of few instances for which Ramsey numbers are now…
