For unweighted graphs, finding isometric embeddings is closely related to decompositions of $G$ into Cartesian products of smaller graphs. When $G$ is isomorphic to a Cartesian graph product, we call the factors of this product a…

We prove a coarse version of Halin's Grid Theorem: Every one-ended, locally finite graph that contains the disjoint union of infinitely many rays as an asymptotic minor also contains the half-grid as an asymptotic minor. More generally, we…

The recent theory of graph limits gives a powerful framework for understanding the properties of suitable (convergent) sequences $(G_n)$ of graphs in terms of a limiting object which may be represented by a symmetric function $W$ on…

We narrow the gap between the family of graphs that do and the family of graphs that do not satisfy the fat minor conjecture by obtaining much simpler counterexamples than were previously known, including $K_t, t \geq 6$ and $K_{s,t}, s,t…

In a digraph, a quasi-kernel is a subset of vertices that is independent and such that the shortest path from every vertex to this subset is of length at most two. The ``small quasi-kernel conjecture,'' proposed by Erd\H{o}s and Sz\'ekely…

The (strong) isometric path complexity is a recently introduced graph invariant that captures how arbitrary isometric paths (i.e., shortest paths) of a graph can be viewed as a union of a few ``rooted" isometric paths (i.e., isometric paths…

We prove several criteria for quasi-isometry between non-locally-finite graphs and their structure trees. Results of M\"oller in \cite{moeller92ends2} for locally finite and transitive graphs are generalized. We also give a criterion which…

The central theorem of topological graph theory states that the graph minor relation is a well-quasi-order on graphs. It has far-reaching consequences, in particular in the study of graph structures and the design of (parameterized)…

We consider the problem of minimizing the number of triangles in a graph of given order and size and describe the asymptotic structure of extremal graphs. This is achieved by characterizing the set of flag algebra homomorphisms that…

Graph embeddings are a ubiquitous tool for machine learning tasks, such as node classification and link prediction, on graph-structured data. However, computing the embeddings for large-scale graphs is prohibitively inefficient even if we…

Quasi-isometries are mappings on graphs, with distance-distortions parameterized by a multiplicative factor and an additive constant. The distance-distortions of quasi-isometries are in a general form that captures a wide range of…

We consider random graphs with a given degree sequence and show, under weak technical conditions, asymptotic normality of the number of components isomorphic to a given tree, first for the random multigraph given by the configuration model…

Spatial graphs are particular graphs for which the nodes are localized in space (e.g., public transport network, molecules, branching biological structures). In this work, we consider the problem of spatial graph reduction, that aims to…

We show that for every $M,A,n \in \mathbb{N}$ there exists a graph $G$ that does not contain the $(154\times 154)$-grid as a $3$-fat minor and is not $(M,A)$-quasi-isometric to a graph with no $K_n$ minor. This refutes the conjectured…

The mincut graph bisection problem involves partitioning the n vertices of a graph into disjoint subsets, each containing exactly n/2 vertices, while minimizing the number of "cut" edges with an endpoint in each subset. When considered over…

As a major step in their proof of Wagner's conjecture, Robertson and Seymour showed that every graph not containing a fixed graph $H$ as a minor has a tree-decomposition in which each torso is almost embeddable in a surface of bounded…

Greb\'ik and Rocha [Fractional Isomorphism of Graphons, Combinatorica 42, pp 365-404 (2022)] extended the well studied notion of fractional isomorphism of graphs to graphons. We prove that fractionally isomorphic graphons can be…

The graph reconstruction conjecture states that all graphs on at least three vertices are determined up to isomorphism by their deck. In this paper, a general framework for this problem is proposed to simply explain the reconstruction of…

We provide proofs certifying that the structure theorem for vertex sets of bounded bidimensionality holds with polynomial bounds. The bidimensionality of vertex sets is a common generalisation of both treewidth and the face-cover-number of…

We study the asymptotic complexity constant of the sequence of approximating graphs to a fully symmetric self-similar structure on a finitely ramified fractal $K$. We show how full symmetry implies existence of the asymptotic complexity…
