The chromatic number of the random graph $\mathcal{G}(n,p)$ has long been studied and has inspired several landmark results. In the case where $p = d/n$, Achlioptas and Naor showed the chromatic number is asymptotically concentrated at…
We show that the chromatic number of $G_{n, \frac 12}$ is not concentrated on fewer than $n^{\frac 14 - \varepsilon}$ consecutive values. This addresses a longstanding question raised by Erd\H{o}s and several other authors.
Let 0<p<1 be fixed. Shamir and Spencer proved in the 1980s that the chromatic number of a random graph in G(n,p) is concentrated in an interval of length about n^{1/2}. In this explanatory note, we give a proof of a result due due Noga…
In this paper we study the behaviour of the domination number of the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $\mathcal{G}(n,p)$. Extending a result of Wieland and Godbole we show that the domination number of $\mathcal{G}(n,p)$ is equal to one of…
We show that the domination number of the binomial random graph G_{n,p} with edge-probability p is concentrated on two values for p \ge n^{-2/3+\eps}, and not concentrated on two values for general p \le n^{-2/3}. This refutes a conjecture…
Shamir and Spencer proved in the 1980s that the chromatic number of the binomial random graph G(n,p) is concentrated in an interval of length at most \omega\sqrt{n}, and in the 1990s Alon showed that an interval of length…
We consider the problem of $k$-colouring a random $r$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and $cn$ edges, where $k$, $r$, $c$ remain constant as $n$ tends to infinity. Achlioptas and Naor showed that the chromatic number of a random graph…
The clique chromatic number of a graph is the minimum number of colors required to assign to its vertex set so that no inclusion maximal clique is monochromatic. McDiarmid, Mitsche and Pra\l at proved that the clique chromatic number of the…
Given d \in (0,infty) let k_d be the smallest integer k such that d < 2k\log k. We prove that the chromatic number of a random graph G(n,d/n) is either k_d or k_d+1 almost surely.
In this paper we prove that the limiting distribution of the Chromatic number of a random graph $\mathcal{G}_{n,p}$, with fixed edge-probability $p$, after appropriate centering and scaling is Normal, when the number of vertices $n$, goes…
Let $\zeta$ be Euclidean norm of the degree sequence of a graph normalized by the graph size. We prove that when the vertices of a graph are randomly colored with $s$ colors such that the fraction of vertices in each color class is bounded…
Given independent random points $X_1,...,X_n\in\eR^d$ with common probability distribution $\nu$, and a positive distance $r=r(n)>0$, we construct a random geometric graph $G_n$ with vertex set $\{1,...,n\}$ where distinct $i$ and $j$ are…
An $n$-lift of a graph $G$ is a graph from which there is an $n$-to-$1$ covering map onto $G$. Amit, Linial, and Matou\v sek (2002) raised the question of whether the chromatic number of a random $n$-lift of $K_5$ is concentrated on a…
In this work we show that, for any fixed d, random d-regular graphs asymptotically almost surely can be coloured with k colours, where k is the smallest integer satisfying d<2(k-1)log(k-1). From previous lower bounds due to Molloy and Reed,…
Let $k\geq3$ be a fixed integer and let $Z_k(G)$ be the number of $k$-colourings of the graph $G$. For certain values of the average degree, the random variable $Z_k(G(n,m))$ is known to be concentrated in the sense that $\frac1n(\ln…
We estimate the likely values of the chromatic and independence numbers of the random $r$-uniform $d$-regular hypergraph on $n$ vertices for fixed $r$, large fixed $d$, and $n \rightarrow \infty$.
The chromatic number of a very dense random graph $G(n,p)$, with $p \ge 1 - n^{-c}$ for some constant $c > 0$, was first studied by Surya and Warnke, who conjectured that the typical deviation of $\chi(G(n,p))$ from its mean is of order…
We present results on the concentration properties of the spectral norm $\|A_p\|$ of the adjacency matrix $A_p$ of an Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$. First we consider the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph process and prove that…
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…
Given any integer d >= 3, let k be the smallest integer such that d < 2k log k. We prove that with high probability the chromatic number of a random d-regular graph is k, k+1, or k+2, and that if (2k-1) \log k < d < 2k \log k then the…
