The independence polynomial of a graph $G$, denoted $I(G,x)$, is the generating polynomial for the number of independent sets of each size. The roots of $I(G,x)$ are called the \textit{independence roots} of $G$. It is known that for every…

For graphs F and G an F-matching in G is a subgraph of G consisting of pairwise vertex disjoint copies of F. The number of F-matchings in G is denoted by s(F,G). We show that for every fixed positive integer m and every fixed tree F, the…

For graphs $F$ and $H$, let $f_{F,H}(n)$ be the minimum possible size of a maximum $F$-free induced subgraph in an $n$-vertex $H$-free graph. This notion generalizes the Ramsey function and the Erd\H{o}s--Rogers function. Establishing a…

The deficiency of a graph $G$, denoted by $\kd(G)$, is the number of vertices not saturated by a maximum matching. A bone $B_i$ is the tree obtained by attaching two pendent edges to each of the end vertices of a path $P_{i}$. The local…

Long paths and cycles in sparse random graphs and digraphs were studied intensively in the 1980's. It was finally shown by Frieze in 1986 that the random graph $\cG(n,p)$ with $p=c/n$ has a cycle on at all but at most $(1+\epsilon)ce^{-c}n$…

In this paper we study the spectrum of the random geometric graph $G(n,r)$, in a regime where the graph is dense and highly connected. In the \erdren $G(n,p)$ random graph it is well known that upon connectivity the spectrum of the…

We show that any subset of $\mathbb{Z}_p^n$ ($p$ an odd prime) without $3$-term arithmetic progression has size $O(p^{cn})$, where $c:=1-\frac{1}{18\log p}<1$. In particular, we find an upper bound of $O(2.84^n)$ on the maximum size of an…

We prove that for every non-trivial hereditary family of graphs ${\cal P}$ and for every fixed $p \in (0,1)$, the maximum possible number of edges in a subgraph of the random graph $G(n,p)$ which belongs to ${\cal P}$ is, with high…

An equitable partition of a graph $G$ is a partition of the vertex-set of $G$ such that the sizes of any two parts differ by at most one. We show that every graph with an acyclic coloring with at most $k$ colors can be equitably partitioned…

The cluster of a crossing in a graph drawing in the plane is the set of the four end-vertices of its two crossed edges. Two crossings are independent if their clusters do not intersect. In this paper, we prove that every plane graph with…

In this paper, we study the adaptivity gap of the influence maximization problem under independent cascade model when full-adoption feedback is available. Our main results are to derive upper bounds on several families of well-studied…

For any positive integer $k$, we show that every maximal $C_{2k+1}$-free graph with at least $n^2/4-o(n^{3/2})$ edges contains an induced complete bipartite subgraph on $(1-o(1))n$ vertices. We also show that this is best possible.

Given a graph $G$, the maximum size of an induced subgraph of $G$ each component of which is a star is called the edge open packing number, $\rho_{e}^{o}(G)$, of $G$. Similarly, the maximum size of an induced subgraph of $G$ each component…

We study the model $G_\alpha\cup G(n,p)$ of randomly perturbed dense graphs, where $G_\alpha$ is any $n$-vertex graph with minimum degree at least $\alpha n$ and $G(n,p)$ is the binomial random graph. We introduce a general approach for…

We consider query trees of graphs with degree bounded by a constant, $d$. We give simple proofs that the size of a query tree is constant in expectation and $2^{O(d)}\log{n}$ w.h.p.

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices of independence number $\alpha(G)$ such that every induced subgraph of $G$ on $n-k$ vertices has an independent set of size at least $\alpha(G) - \ell$. What is the largest possible $\alpha(G)$ in terms of…

We consider a class of scale-free inhomogeneous random graphs, which includes some long-range percolation models. We study the maximum degree in such graphs in a growing observation window and show that its limiting distribution is Frechet.…

A layerwise search in a split-by-edges tree (as defined by Br{\ae}ndeland, 2015) of agiven graph produces a maximum independent set in exponential time. A depth-first search produces an independent set, which may or may not be a maximum, in…

We show that for any fixed dense graph G and bounded-degree tree T on the same number of vertices, a modest random perturbation of G will typically contain a copy of T . This combines the viewpoints of the well-studied problems of embedding…

We develop a powerful tool for embedding any tree poset $P$ of height $k$ in the Boolean lattice which allows us to solve several open problems in the area. We show that: * If $H$ is a family in $B_n$ with $|H|\ge (q-1+\varepsilon){n\choose…
