A graphon is said to have the $H$-property if a random undirected graph $G_n$ on $n$ nodes sampled from it has a node-wise disjoint cycle cover almost surely as $n\to\infty$. It has been shown in the earlier work that the $H$-property obeys…
An efficient implicit representation of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ in a family $\mathcal{F}$ of graphs assigns to each vertex of $G$ a binary code of length $O(\log n)$ so that the adjacency between every pair of vertices can be determined…
The R\'{e}nyi $\alpha$-entropy $H_{\alpha}$ of complete antisymmetric directed graphs (i.e., tournaments) is explored. We optimize $H_{\alpha}$ when $\alpha = 2$ and $3$, and find that as $\alpha$ increases $H_{\alpha}$'s sensitivity to…
The Discrepancy of a hypergraph is the minimum attainable value, over two-colorings of its vertices, of the maximum absolute imbalance of any hyperedge. The Hereditary Discrepancy of a hypergraph, defined as the maximum discrepancy of a…
The poset of copies of a relational structure ${\mathbb X}$ is the partial order ${\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X} ) := \langle \{ Y \subset X: {\mathbb Y} \cong {\mathbb X}\}, \subset \rangle$ and each similarity of such posets (e.g. isomorphism,…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the maximum number of directed cycles of a given length in a tournament: let $c(\ell)$ be the limit of the ratio of the maximum number of cycles of length $\ell$ in an $n$-vertex tournament and the…
The edit distance function of a hereditary property $\mathscr{H}$ is the asymptotically largest edit distance between a graph of density $p\in[0,1]$ and $\mathscr{H}$. Denote by $P_n$ and $C_n$ the path graph of order $n$ and the cycle…
A pure pair in a tournament $G$ is an ordered pair $(A,B)$ of disjoint subsets of $V(G)$ such that every vertex in $B$ is adjacent from every vertex in $A$. Which tournaments $H$ have the property that if $G$ is a tournament not containing…
The paper considers the problem of finding the largest possible set P(n), a subset of the set N of the natural numbers, with the property that a number is in P(n) if and only if it is a sum of n distinct naturals all in P(n) or none in…
In set theory without the axiom of regularity, we consider a game in which two players choose in turn an element of a given set, an element of this element, etc.; a player wins if its adversary cannot make any next move. Sets that are…
It is well known that the coefficients of the matching polynomial are unimodal. Unimodality of the coefficients (or their absolute values) of other graph polynomials have been studied as well. One way to prove unimodality is to prove…
The theory of tournament limits and tournament kernels (often called graphons) is developed by extending common notions for finite tournaments to this setting; in particular we study transitivity and irreducibility of limits and kernels. We…
Consider a flow in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and let $K$ be the biggest invariant subset of some compact region of interest $N \subseteq \mathbb{R}^3$. The set $K$ is often not computable, but the way the flow crosses the boundary of $N$ can provide…
The edit distance between two graphs on the same vertex set is defined to be size of the symmetric difference of their edge sets. The edit distance function of a hereditary property, $\mathcal{H}$, is a function of $p$ and measures,…
A rooted tree is called a $k$-ary tree, if all non-leaf vertices have exactly $k$ children, except possibly one non-leaf vertex has at most $k-1$ children. Denote by $h(k)$ the minimum integer such that every tournament of order at least…
We consider the fair division of indivisible items using the maximin shares measure. Recent work on the topic has focused on extending results beyond the class of additive valuation functions. In this spirit, we study the case where the…
We consider a general class of round-robin tournament models of equally strong players. In these models, each of the $n$ players competes against every other player exactly once. For each match between two players, the outcome is a value…
How to efficiently represent a graph in computer memory is a fundamental data structuring question. In the present paper, we address this question from a combinatorial point of view. A representation of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ is called…
The paper establishes the property of splittability of billiard boundary sequences in n dimensional cube into subsequences of fractional parts. This reveals a new property of integrable and weak perturbated Hamilton systems: under a simple…
We study pseudodeterministic constructions, i.e., randomized algorithms which output the same solution on most computation paths. We establish unconditionally that there is an infinite sequence $\{p_n\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ of increasing…
