Let $b(k,\theta)$ be the maximum order of a connected bipartite $k$-regular graph whose second largest eigenvalue is at most $\theta$. In this paper, we obtain a general upper bound for $b(k,\theta)$ for any $0\leq \theta< 2\sqrt{k-1}$. Our…

There has been significant recent interest in graph-based nearest neighbor search methods, many of which are centered on the construction of navigable graphs over high-dimensional point sets. A graph is navigable if we can successfully move…

Tiet\"{a}v\"{a}inen's upper and lower bounds assert that for block-length-$n$ linear codes with dual distance $d$, the covering radius $R$ is at most $\frac{n}{2}-(\frac{1}{2}-o(1))\sqrt{dn}$ and typically at least…

Let $n, d$ be integers with $1 \leq d \leq \left \lfloor \frac{n-1}{2} \right \rfloor$, and set $h(n,d):={n-d \choose 2} + d^2$. Erd\H{o}s proved that when $n \geq 6d$, each nonhamiltonian graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with minimum degree…

Order the vertices of a directed random graph \math{v_1,...,v_n}; edge \math{(v_i,v_j)} for \math{i<j} exists independently with probability \math{p}. This random graph model is related to certain spreading processes on networks. We…

For a given quadratic irrational $\alpha$, let us denote by $D(\alpha)$ the length of the periodic part of the continued fraction expansion of $\alpha$. We prove that for a positive integer $d$, which is not a perfect square, the sequence…

In this paper we propose algorithms for allocating $n$ sequential balls into $n$ bins that are interconnected as a $d$-regular $n$-vertex graph $G$, where $d\ge3$ can be any integer.Let $l$ be a given positive integer. In each round $t$,…

In this paper it is proved that there are constants 0< c_2< c_1 such that an asymptotic formula can be given for the the number of (labeled) n-vertex graphs of diameter d whenever n tends to infinity and 2 < d < n - c_1 (log n). A typical…

Given a group $G$, the model $\mathcal{G}(G,p)$ denotes the probability space of all Cayley graphs of $G$ where each element of $G$ is included in the generating set independently at random with probability $p$. In this article, we…

Given any graph $G$, the (adjacency) spread of $G$ is the maximum absolute difference between any two eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of $G$. In this paper, we resolve a pair of 20-year-old conjectures of Gregory, Hershkowitz, and…

If an n-side unit regular polygon is divided into m equal sized parts, then what is the minimum length of the split line ${l_{m,n}}$? This problem has its practical application in real world. This paper proved that ${l_{2,3}} = \sqrt…

We analyze some local properties of sparse Erdos-Renyi graphs, where $d(n)/n$ is the edge probability. In particular we study the behavior of very short paths. For $d(n)=n^{o(1)}$ we show that $G(n,d(n)/n)$ has asymptotically almost surely…

We derive a sufficient condition for a sparse graph G on n vertices to contain a copy of a tree T of maximum degree at most d on (1-\epsilon)n vertices, in terms of the expansion properties of G. As a result we show that for fixed d\geq 2…

We show that for $d\ge d_0(\epsilon)$, with high probability, the random graph $G(n,d/n)$ contains an induced path of length $(3/2-\epsilon)\frac{n}{d}\log d$. This improves a result obtained independently by Luczak and Suen in the early…
