A well known upper bound for the spectral radius of a graph, due to Hong, is that $\mu_1^2 \le 2m - n + 1$. It is conjectured that for connected graphs $n - 1 \le s^+ \le 2m - n + 1$, where $s^+$ denotes the sum of the squares of the…

Poljak and Turz\'ik (Discrete Math. 1986) introduced the notion of \lambda-extendible properties of graphs as a generalization of the property of being bipartite. They showed that for any 0<\lambda<1 and \lambda-extendible property \Pi, any…

Stark and Terras introduced the edge zeta function of a finite graph in 1996. The edge zeta function is the reciprocal of a polynomial in twice as many variables as edges in the graph and can be computed in polynomial time. We look at graph…

We prove that with high probability over the choice of a random graph $G$ from the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi distribution $G(n,1/2)$, a natural $n^{O(\varepsilon^2 \log n)}$-time, degree $O(\varepsilon^2 \log n)$ sum-of-squares semidefinite program…

In recent work, Fyodorov and Keating conjectured the maximum size of $|\zeta(1/2+it)|$ in a typical interval of length O(1) on the critical line. They did this by modelling the zeta function by the characteristic polynomial of a random…

A classical result of Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi states that every $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $(1/2+ o(1))n$ contains every $n$-vertex tree with maximum degree $O(n/\log{n})$ as a subgraph, and the bounds on…

The asymptotic spectrum of graphs, introduced by Zuiddam (arXiv:1807.00169, 2018), is the space of graph parameters that are additive under disjoint union, multiplicative under the strong product, normalized and monotone under homomorphisms…

We consider the problem of estimating the number of triangles in a graph. This problem has been extensively studied in both theory and practice, but all existing algorithms read the entire graph. In this work we design a {\em…

We present three sublinear randomized algorithms for vertex-coloring of graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$. The first is a simple algorithm that extends the idea of Morris and Song to color graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ using…

For any $\alpha\in (0,1)$ and any $n^{\alpha}\leq d\leq n/2$, we show that $\lambda(G)\leq C_\alpha \sqrt{d}$ with probability at least $1-\frac{1}{n}$, where $G$ is the uniform random $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices, $\lambda(G)$ denotes…

We propose a deterministic algorithm for approximately counting the number of list colorings of a graph. Under the assumption that the graph is triangle free, the size of every list is at least $\alpha \Delta$, where $\alpha$ is an…

In the last decade remarkable progress has been made in development of suitable proof techniques for analysing randomised search heuristics. The theoretical investigation of these algorithms on classes of functions is essential to the…

We study the problem of robustly estimating the parameter $p$ of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph on $n$ nodes, where a $\gamma$ fraction of nodes may be adversarially corrupted. After showing the deficiencies of canonical estimators, we…

We introduce a new technique for bounding the cover time of random walks by relating it to the runtime of randomized broadcast. In particular, we strongly confirm for dense graphs the intuition of Chandra et al. \cite{CRRST97} that "the…

A uniformly random graph on $n$ vertices with a fixed degree sequence, obeying a $\gamma$ subpower law, is studied. It is shown that, for $\gamma>3$, in a subcritical phase with high probability the largest component size does not exceed…

A well known observation of Lov\'asz is that if a hypergraph is not $2$-colorable, then at least one pair of its edges intersect at a single vertex. %This very simple criterion turned out to be extremly useful . In this short paper we…

Given two graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ on $n$ vertices each, we define a graph $G$ on vertex set $V_1\times V_2$ and the edge set as the union of edges of $G_1\times \bar{G_2}$, $\bar{G_1}\times G_2$, $\{(v,u'),(v,u"))(|u',u"\in V_2\}$ for each…

For the critical level-set of the Gaussian free field on the metric graph of $\mathbb Z^d$, we consider the one-arm probability $\theta_d(N)$, i.e., the probability that the boundary of a box of side length $2N$ is connected to the center.…

A graph is said to be interval colourable if it admits a proper edge-colouring using palette $\mathbb{N}$ in which the set of colours incident to each vertex is an interval. The interval colouring thickness of a graph $G$ is the minimum $k$…

We design a Quasi-Polynomial time deterministic approximation algorithm for computing the integral of a multi-dimensional separable function, supported by some underlying hyper-graph structure, appropriately defined. Equivalently, our…
