The spectral properties of signed directed graphs, which may be naturally obtained by assigning a sign to each edge of a directed graph, have received substantially less attention than those of their undirected and/or unsigned counterparts.…

We consider bond percolation on random graphs with given degrees and bounded average degree. In particular, we consider the order of the largest component after the random deletion of the edges of such a random graph. We give a rough…

Lov\'asz (1967) showed that two graphs $G$ and $H$ are isomorphic if, and only if, they are homomorphism indistinguishable over all graphs, i.e., $G$ and $H$ admit the same number of number of homomorphisms from every graph $F$.…

In this paper we investigate the eigenvalue statistics of exponentially weighted ensembles of full binary trees and $p$-branching star graphs. We show that spectral densities of corresponding adjacency matrices demonstrate peculiar…

Exponential random graphs are important to model the structure of real-world complex networks. Here we solve the two-star model with degree-degree correlations in the sparse regime. The model constraints the average correlation between the…

Two vertices $a$ and $b$ in a graph $X$ are cospectral if the vertex-deleted subgraphs $X\setminus a$ and $X\setminus b$ have the same characteristic polynomial. In this paper we investigate a strengthening of this relation on vertices,…

The $k$-expansion of a graph $G$ is the $k$-uniform hypergraph obtained from $G$ by adding $k-2$ new vertices to every edge. We determine, for all $k > d \geq 1$, asymptotically optimal $d$-degree conditions that ensure the existence of all…

The spectral theory of graphs provides a bridge between classical signal processing and the nascent field of graph signal processing. In this paper, a spectral graph analogy to Heisenberg's celebrated uncertainty principle is developed.…

The canonical Ramsey theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Rado implies that for any graph $H$, any edge-coloring (with an arbitrary number of colors) of a sufficiently large complete graph $K_N$ contains a monochromatic, lexicographic, or rainbow copy…

The problem of detecting edge correlation between two Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graphs on $n$ unlabeled nodes can be formulated as a hypothesis testing problem: under the null hypothesis, the two graphs are sampled independently; under the…

There are many methods to estimate the quasi-stationary infected fraction of the SIS process on (random) graphs. A challenge is to adequately incorporate correlations, which is especially important in sparse graphs. Methods typically are…

K\'{a}rolyi, Pach, and T\'{o}th proved that every 2-edge-colored straight-line drawing of the complete graph contains a monochromatic plane spanning tree. It is open if this statement generalizes to other classes of drawings, specifically,…

We conjecture that the distribution of the edge-disjoint union of two random regular graphs on the same vertex set is asymptotically equivalent to a random regular graph of the combined degree, provided it grows as the number of vertices…

We examine the capacity of the complementarity spectrum to distinguish non-isomorphic digraphs. We focus on the seven families with exactly three complementarity eigenvalues. Our findings reveal that in some, but not all families, any two…

The Erd\H{o}s-S\'os Conjecture states that every graph with average degree exceeding $k-1$ contains every tree with $k$ edges as a subgraph. We prove that there are $\delta>0$ and $k_0\in\mathbb N$ such that the conjecture holds for every…

A cograph is a simple graph which contains no path on 4 vertices as an induced subgraph. We consider the eigenvalues of adjacency matrices of cographs and prove that a graph $G$ is a cograph if and only if no induced subgraph of $G$ has an…

We prove that a connected graph has linear rank-width 1 if and only if it is a distance-hereditary graph and its split decomposition tree is a path. An immediate consequence is that one can decide in linear time whether a graph has linear…
