• Acyclic edge colourings of graphs with large girth ﻿

(2016-11-03)
Article
Open Access
An edge colouring of a graph G is called acyclic if it is proper and every cycle contains at least three colours. We show that for every e > 0, there exists a g = g(e) such that if G has maximum degree ¿ and girth at least ...
• An interlacing approach for bounding the sum of Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs ﻿

(2014)
Conference report
Open Access
We apply eigenvalue interlacing techniques for obtaining lower and upper bounds for the sums of Laplacian eigenvalues of graphs, and characterize equality. This leads to generalizations of, and variations on theorems by ...
• Búsqueda de comunidades en grafos grandes mediante configuraciones implícitas de vectores ﻿

Conference report
Open Access
Presentamos el algoritmo OCA para buscar comunidades solapadas en grafos grandes, como por ejemplo la Wikipedia con 1,6×107 nodos y 1,8×108 aristas. OCA se basa en la búsqueda iterativa de subconjuntos localmente óptimos ...
• Connectivity in bridge-addable graph classes: the McDiarmid-Steger-Welsh conjecture ﻿

(2018-09-17)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policy
A class of graphs is bridge-addable if given a graph G in the class, any graph obtained by adding an edge between two connected components of G is also in the class. We prove a conjecture of McDiarmid, Steger, and Welsh, ...

• Counting independent sets in cubic graphs of given girth ﻿

(2018-09-26)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policy
We prove a tight upper bound on the independence polynomial (and total number of independent sets) of cubic graphs of girth at least 5. The bound is achieved by unions of the Heawood graph, the point/line incidence graph ...
• Critical percolation on random regular graphs ﻿

(2018-03-20)
Article
Open Access
We show that for all $d\in \{3,\ldots ,n-1\}$ the size of the largest component of a random $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices around the percolation threshold $p=1/(d-1)$ is $\Theta (n^{2/3})$, with high probability. ...
• Decomposition of bounded degree graphs into C4-free subgraphs ﻿

(2014-10-15)
Article
Open Access
We prove that every graph with maximum degree ∆ admits a partition of its edges into O(√∆) parts (as ∆→∞) none of which contains C4 as a subgraph. This bound is sharp up to a constantfactor. Our proof uses an iterated ...

• Fast recoloring of sparse graphs ﻿

(2015-09-07)
Article
Open Access
In this paper, we show that for every graph of maximum average degree bounded away from d and any two (d + 1)-colorings of it, one can transform one coloring into the other one within a polynomial number of vertex recolorings ...
• How to determine if a random graph with a fixed degree sequence has a giant component ﻿

(2017-01-26)
Article
Open Access
For a fixed degree sequence D=(d1,…,dn) , let G(D) be a uniformly chosen (simple) graph on {1,…,n} where the vertex i has degree di . In this paper we determine whether G(D) has a giant component with high probability, ...
• Large subgraphs without short cycles ﻿

(2015-01-06)
Article
Open Access
We study two extremal problems about subgraphs excluding a family F of graphs. i) Among all graphs with m edges, what is the smallest size f(m, F) of a largest F–free subgraph? ii) Among all graphs with minimum degree d ...
• Matchings in random biregular bipartite graphs ﻿

(2013-03-24)
Article
Open Access
We study the existence of perfect matchings in suitably chosen induced subgraphs of random biregular bipartite graphs. We prove a result similar to a classical theorem of Erdös and Rényi about perfect matchings in random ...
• On the relation between graph distance and Euclidean distance in random geometric graphs ﻿

(2016-09-01)
Article
Open Access
Given any two vertices u, v of a random geometric graph G(n, r), denote by dE(u, v) their Euclidean distance and by dE(u, v) their graph distance. The problem of finding upper bounds on dG(u, v) conditional on dE(u, v) ...
• On the tree depth of random graphs ﻿

(2010)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policy
The tree-depth of a graph G is a parameter that plays a crucial role in the theory of bounded expansion classes and has been introduced under numerous names. We describe the asymptotic behaviour of this parameter in the ...
• On the treewidth and related parameters of random geometric graphs ﻿

(2017-06-22)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policy
We give asymptotically exact values for the treewidth tw(G) of a random geometric graph G ¿ G(n, r) in [0, v n] 2 . More precisely, let rc denote the threshold radius for the appearance of the giant component in G(n, r). ...
• Overlapping community search for social networks ﻿

(IEEE Press. Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010)
Conference report
Open Access
Finding decompositions of a graph into a family of clusters is crucial to understanding its underlying structure. While most existing approaches focus on partitioning the nodes, real-world datasets suggest the presence ...
