For an increasing monotone graph property $\mP$ the \emph{local resilience} of a graph $G$ with respect to $\mP$ is the minimal $r$ for which there exists of a subgraph $H\subseteq G$ with all degrees at most $r$ such that the removal of…

We prove that there exists an absolute constant $C>0$ such that, for any positive integer $k$, every graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $Ck$ admits a vertex-partition $V(G)=S\cup T$, where both $G[S]$ and $G[T]$ have minimum degree at…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and let $k$ be a fixed positive integer. We denote by $\mathcal G_{\text{$k$-out}}(G)$ the probability space consisting of subgraphs of $G$ where each vertex $v\in V(G)$ randomly picks $k$ neighbors from…

We study sufficient conditions for the generic rigidity of a graph $G$ expressed in terms of (i) its minimum degree $\delta(G)$, or (ii) the parameter $\eta(G)=\min_{uv\notin E}(\deg(u)+\deg(v))$. For each case, we seek the smallest…

In this note we prove that for every integer $k$, there exist constants $g_{1}(k)$ and $g_{2}(k)$ such that the following holds. If $G$ is a graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree $\Delta$ then it contains an induced subgraph $H$ on at…

A seminal result of Lee asserts that the Ramsey number of any bipartite $d$-degenerate graph $H$ satisfies $\log r(H) = \log n + O(d)$. In particular, this bound applies to every bipartite graph of maximal degree $\Delta$. It remains a…

The conjecture of Bollob\'as and Koml\'os, recently proved by B\"ottcher, Schacht, and Taraz [Math. Ann. 343(1), 175--205, 2009], implies that for any $\gamma>0$, every balanced bipartite graph on $2n$ vertices with bounded degree and…

Given a function $p : V(G)\to \mathbb N$ and an integer $k\ge 0$, define $p_k(G)$ as the number of vertices with $p(v)\ge k$. We say that $p_k(G)$ is bounded for all $\HH$-free graphs if there exists a constant $c=c(\HH)$ such that…

Let $G_1,\dots, G_m$ be independent identically distributed random subgraphs of the complete graph ${\cal K}_n$. We analyse the threshold behaviour of the strength of connectedness of the union $\cup_{i=1}^mG_i$ defined on the vertex set of…

We show that every graph $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ and sufficiently large order has a vertex cutset $S$ of order at most $\Delta$ that induces a subgraph $G[S]$ of maximum degree at most $\Delta-3$. For $\Delta\in \{ 4,5\}$, we refine…

Let $G_{n,p}$ be the standard Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi-Gilbert random graph and let $G_{n,n,p}$ be the random bipartite graph on $n+n$ vertices, where each $e\in [n]^2$ appears as an edge independently with probability $p$. For a graph $G=(V,E)$,…

For any constants $d\ge 1$, $\epsilon >0$, $t>1$, and any $n$-point set $P\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, we show that there is a geometric graph $G=(P,E)$ having $O(n\log^2 n\log\log n)$ edges with the following property: For any $F\subseteq P$,…

Given a graph $G$ and an integer $r\ge 1$, the $r$th power $G^r$ of $G$ is the graph obtained from $G$ by adding edges for all pairs of distinct vertices at distance at most $r$ from each other. We focus on two basic structural properties…

A vertex set $S$ of a graph $G$ is a \emph{dominating set} if each vertex of $G$ either belongs to $S$ or is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. The \emph{domination number} $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of $S$ as $S$ varies over…
