The induced arboricity of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of induced forests covering the edges of $G$. This is a well-defined parameter bounded from above by the number of edges of $G$ when each forest in a cover consists of exactly one…
An edge (vertex) cut $X$ of $G$ is $r$-essential if $G-X$ has two components each of which has at least $r$ edges. A graph $G$ is $r$-essentially $k$-edge-connected (resp. $k$-connected) if it has no $r$-essential edge (resp. vertex) cuts…
Two independent edges in ordered graphs can be nested, crossing or separated. These relations define six types of subgraphs, depending on which relations are forbidden. We refine a remark by Erd\H{o}s and Rado that every 2-coloring of the…
D. Wilson~\cite{[Wi]} in the 1990's described a simple and efficient algorithm based on loop-erased random walks to sample uniform spanning trees and more generally weighted trees or forests spanning a given graph. This algorithm provides a…
We prove the following sharp estimate for the number of spanning trees of a graph in terms of its vertex-degrees: a simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices has at most $(1/n^{2}) \prod_{v \in V(G)} (d(v)+1)$ spanning trees. This result is tight…
A famous conjecture by Itai and Zehavi states that, for every $d$-vertex-connected graph $G$ and every vertex $r$ in $G$, there are $d$ spanning trees of $G$ such that, for every vertex $v$ in $G\setminus \{r\}$, the paths between $r$ and…
We study the problem of detecting the edge correlation between two random graphs with $n$ unlabeled nodes. This is formalized as a hypothesis testing problem, where under the null hypothesis, the two graphs are independently generated;…
We consider random binary trees that appear as the output of certain standard algorithms for sorting and searching if the input is random. We introduce the subtree size metric on search trees and show that the resulting metric spaces…
We study subgraphs that appear in large Ramsey graphs for a given graph $F$. The recent girth Ramsey theorem of the first two authors asserts that there are Ramsey graphs such that all small subgraphs are `forests of copies of $F$'…
We show that a graph $G$ has a normal spanning tree if and only if its vertex set is the union of countably many sets each separated from any subdivided infinite clique in $G$ by a finite set of vertices. This proves a conjecture by Brochet…
Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a $k$-uniform hypergraph. A chain in $\mathcal{H}$ is a sequence of its vertices such that every $k$ consecutive vertices form an edge. In 1999 Katona and Kierstead suggested to use chains in hypergraphs as the…
We study the large-deviation properties of minimum spanning trees for two ensembles of random graphs with $N$ nodes. First, we consider complete graphs. Second, we study Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi (ER) random graphs with edge probability $p=c/N$…
Tree-based ensemble methods, as Random Forests and Gradient Boosted Trees, have been successfully used for regression in many applications and research studies. Furthermore, these methods have been extended in order to deal with uncertainty…
In this draft we prove an interesting structural property related to the problem of computing {\em all the best swap edges} of a {\em tree spanner} in unweighted graphs. Previous papers show that the maximum stretch factor of the tree where…
An antimagic labeling of a graph $G(V,E)$ is a bijection $f: E \to \{1,2, \dots, |E|\}$ so that $\sum_{e \in E(u)} f(e) \neq \sum_{e \in E(v)} f(e)$ holds for all $u, v \in V(G)$ with $u \neq v$, where $E(v)$ is the set of edges incident to…
The Gyarfas-Sumner conjecture asserts that if H is a tree then every graph with bounded clique number and very large chromatic number contains H as an induced subgraph. This is still open, although it has been proved for a few simple…
A key issue in network reliability analysis. A graph with $n$ nodes and whose $e$ edges fail independently with probability $p$ is an \emph{Uniformly Most Reliable Graph} (UMRG) if it has the highest reliability among all graphs with the…
Consider the $d$ dimensional lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ where each vertex is open or closed with probability $p$ or $1-p$ respectively. An open vertex $\mathbb{u} := (\mathbb{u}(1), \mathbb{u}(2),...,\mathbb{u}(d))$ is connected by an edge to…
The 1-2-3 Conjecture asks whether almost all graphs can be (edge-)labelled with $1,2,3$ so that no two adjacent vertices are incident to the same sum of labels. In the last decades, several aspects of this problem have been studied in…
The present study was concerned with network failure problems for simple connected undirected graphs. A connected graph becomes unconnected through edge failure, under the assumptions that only edges can fail and each edge has an identical…
