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…

We study the model $G_\alpha\cup G(n,p)$ of randomly perturbed dense graphs, where $G_\alpha$ is any $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $\alpha n$ and $G(n,p)$ is the binomial random graph. We introduce a general approach for…

We introduce a natural generalization of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph model in which random instances of a fixed motif are added independently. The binomial random motif graph $G(H,n,p)$ is the random (multi)graph obtained by adding…

We study a random graph model which combines properties of the edge percolation model on Z^d and a classical random graph G(n,c/n). We show that this model, being a homogeneous random graph, has a natural relation to the so-called "rank 1…

In the noisy channel model from coding theory, we wish to detect errors introduced during transmission by optimizing various parameters of the code. Bennett, Dudek, and LaForge framed a variation of this problem in the language of…

The Prague dimension of a graph $G$ is defined as the minimum number of complete graphs whose direct product contains $G$ as an induced subgraph. Introduced in the 1970s by Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il, Pultr, and R\"odl -- and motivated by the work of…

We analyse the size of an independent set in a random graph on $n$ vertices with specified vertex degrees, constructed via a simple greedy algorithm: order the vertices arbitrarily, and, for each vertex in turn, place it in the independent…

Consider a uniformly random regular graph of a fixed degree $d\ge3$, with $n$ vertices. Suppose that each edge is open (closed), with probability $p(q=1-p)$, respectively. In 2004 Alon, Benjamini and Stacey proved that $p^*=(d-1)^{-1}$ is…

A simple generalization of the Hall's condition in bipartite graphs, the Normalized Matching Property (NMP) in a graph $G(X,Y,E)$ with vertex partition $(X,Y)$ states that for any subset $S\subseteq X$, we have…

We consider $p$-orientations, which are defined to be orientations of $d$-regular graphs such that every vertex either has in-degree $p$ or out-degree $p$. These generalise the orientations considered in Jaeger's conjecture, where $d=4p+1$.…

Consider the setting of sparse graphs on N vertices, where the vertices have distinct "names", which are strings of length O(log N) from a fixed finite alphabet. For many natural probability models, the entropy grows as cN log N for some…

In 1991, Bollob\'{a}s and Frieze showed that the threshold for $G_{n,p}$ to contain a spanning maximal planar subgraph is very close to $p = n^{-1/3}$. In this paper, we compute similar threshold ranges for $G_{n,p}$ to contain a maximal…

If a vertex $v$ in a graph $G$ has degree larger than the average of the degrees of its neighbors, we call it a groupie in $G$. In the current work, we study the behavior of groupie in random multipartite graphs with the link probability…
