In their famous 1974 paper introducing the local lemma, Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'asz posed a question-later referred by Erd\H{o}s as one of his three favorite open problems: What is the minimum number of edges in an $r$-uniform, intersecting…

The rainbow connection number, $rc(G)$, of a connected graph $G$ is the minimum number of colors needed to color its edges so that every pair of vertices is connected by at least one path in which no two edges are colored the same. We show…

Polat generalised Menger's theorem -- the maximum number of vertex-disjoint paths between two sets $A$ and $B$ equals the minimum size of an $A$-$B$ separator -- to ends of undirected graphs. In this paper we extend Menger's theorem to ends…

A $k$-connected set in an infinite graph, where $k > 0$ is an integer, is a set of vertices such that any two of its subsets of the same size $\ell \leq k$ can be connected by $\ell$ disjoint paths in the whole graph. We characterise the…

In infinite graph theory, the notion of ends, first introduced by Freudenthal and Jung for locally finite graphs, plays an important role when generalizing statements from finite graphs to infinite ones. Nash-Willian's Tree-Packing Theorem…

In this paper, we introduce a new model to study network reliability with node failures. This model, strongly connected node reliability, is the directed variant of node reliability and measures the probability that the operational vertices…

Kim defined a very general combinatorial abstraction of the diameter of polytopes called subset partition graphs to study how certain combinatorial properties of such graphs may be achieved in lower bound constructions. Using Lov\'asz'…

A digraph $D$ is $k$-linked if for every $2k$ distinct vertices $ x_1,\ldots , x_k, y_1, \ldots , y_k$ in $D$, there exist $k$ pairwise vertex-disjoint paths $P_1,\ldots, P_k$ such that $P_i$ starts at $x_i$ and ends at $y_i$ for each $i\in…

We present an algorithm for distributed networks to efficiently find a small vertex cut in the CONGEST model. Given a positive integer $\kappa$, our algorithm can, with high probability, either find $\kappa$ vertices whose removal…

Suppose that $D=(V,E)$ is a strongly connected digraph. Let $u,v\in V(D)$. The maximum distance $md (u,v)$ is defined as $md(u,v)$=max\{$\overrightarrow{d}(u,v), \overrightarrow{d}(v,u)$\} where $\overrightarrow{d}(u,v)$ denote the length…

Recently, the first author showed that the giant in random undirected graphs is `almost' local. This means that, under a necessary and sufficient condition, the limiting proportion of vertices in the giant converges in probability to the…

We consider the worst-case query complexity of some variants of certain \cl{PPAD}-complete search problems. Suppose we are given a graph $G$ and a vertex $s \in V(G)$. We denote the directed graph obtained from $G$ by directing all edges in…

Dvorak (2013) gave a bound on the minimum size of a distance r dominating set in the terms of the maximum size of a distance 2r independent set and generalized coloring numbers, thus obtaining a constant factor approximation algorithm for…

The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of colors that is needed to color the vertices of $G$ such that the only color preserving automorphism is the identity. For infinite graphs $D(G)$ is bounded by the…

A well known observation of Lov\'asz is that if a hypergraph is not $2$-colorable, then at least one pair of its edges intersect at a single vertex. %This very simple criterion turned out to be extremly useful . In this short paper we…

For distinct vertices $u,v$ in a graph $G$, let $\kappa_G(u,v)$ denote the maximum number of internally disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$. Then, $\kappa_G(u,v) \leq \min\{ \mbox{deg}_G(u), \mbox{deg}_G(v) \}$. If equality is attained for every…

Consider a graph $G$ and a real-valued function $f$ defined on the degree set of $G$. The sum of the outputs $f(d_v)$ over all vertices $v\in V(G)$ of $G$ is usually known as the vertex-degree-function indices and is denoted by $H_f(G)$,…

We study random digraphs on sequences of expanders with bounded average degree {which converge locally in probability}. We prove that the threshold for the existence of a giant strongly connected component, as well as the asymptotic…

The aim of this thesis is to investigate how the structure of a digraph affects its dichromatic number and to extend various results on undirected colouring to digraphs. In the first part of this thesis, we examine how the dichromatic…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ and let $u,v$ be vertices of $G$. Let $\kappa_G(u,v)$ denote the maximum number of internally disjoint $u$-$v$ paths in $G$. Then the average connectivity $\overline{\kappa}(G)$ of $G$, is defined as $…
