In this note we prove a large deviation bound on the sum of random variables with the following dependency structure: there is a dependency graph $G$ with a bounded chromatic number, in which each vertex represents a random variable.…

We find new upper bounds on the size of a minimum totally dominating set for random regular graphs and for regular graphs with large girth. These bounds are obtained through the analysis of a local algorithm using a method due to Hoppen and…

Let $(n^+, n^0, n^-)$ denote the inertia of a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices. Nordhaus-Gaddum bounds are known for inertia, except for an upper bound for $n^-$. We conjecture that for any graph \[ n^-(G) + n^-(\bar{G}) \le 1.5(n - 1), \] and…

We consider numbers and sizes of independent sets in graphs with minimum degree at least $d$, when the number $n$ of vertices is large. In particular we investigate which of these graphs yield the maximum numbers of independent sets of…

We consider inhomogeneous Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs. We suppose that the maximal mean degree $d$ satisfies $d \ll \log n$. We characterize the asymptotic behavior of the $n^{1 - o(1)}$ largest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix and its…

We study the minimum number of distinct eigenvalues over a collection of matrices associated with a graph. Lower bounds are derived based on the existence or non-existence of certain cycle(s) in a graph. A key result proves that every…

Many problems in extremal combinatorics can be reduced to determining the independence number of a specific auxiliary hypergraph. We present two such problems, one from discrete geometry and one from hypergraph Tur\'an theory. Using results…

We consider the ensemble of adjacency matrices of Erd{\H o}s-R\'enyi random graphs, i.e.\ graphs on $N$ vertices where every edge is chosen independently and with probability $p \equiv p(N)$. We rescale the matrix so that its bulk…

We show that for an Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi graph on $N$ vertices with expected degree $d$ satisfying $\log^{-1/9}N\leq d\leq \log^{1/40}N$, the largest eigenvalues can be precisely determined by small neighborhoods around vertices of close to…

In this paper, we study the higher Steklov eigenvalues of graphs on surfaces. We obtain the upper bound of higher Steklov eigenvalues of a finite graph $G$ with boundary $B$ and genus $g$ by using metrical deformation via probability flows.…

We use techniques from algebraic and extremal combinatorics to derive upper bounds on the number of independent sets in several (hyper)graphs arising from finite geometry. In this way, we obtain asymptotically sharp upper bounds for partial…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\ldots,\lambda_n$ its eigenvalues. The Estrada index of $G$ is an invariant that is calculated from the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a graph. In this paper, we present…

We introduce a lower bound for the independence number of an arbitrary $k$-uniform hypergraph that only depends on the number of vertices and number of edges of the hypergraph.

In this note we elaborate on some notions of surface area for discrete graphs which are closely related to the inverse degree. These notions then naturally lead to associated connectivity measures of graphs and to the definition of a…
