Graphons and Graphs
The situation is as follows: assume we have a sequence of simple weighted graphs $(G_n)_{n\in\Bbb{N}}$. For the terminology that follows I refer to Limits of dense graph sequences by László Lovász and ...

Citations graphs: what is known?
There has been much research related to web graphs and social graphs.
They can be thought of as a kind of random graphs, but the point is that
they are different from the well-known Erdős–Rényi model.

The properties of almost all directed graphs
A mathematician on the forum previously requested a reference on human brains modelled as directed graphs. This makes sense as neurons are mostly unidirectional and I have been thinking about similar ...

Unique maximum degree in tournament
Consider a uniform random tournament with $n$ vertices. (Between any two vertices $x,y$, with probability $0.5$ draw an edge from $x$ to $y$; otherwise draw an edge from $y$ to $x$.) Let $p(n)$ denote ...

Reference request - random regular graphs vs random graphs w/ degree sequence
There are some properties that are easily studied for random d-regular graphs, but that are very hard to extend to random graphs with a given degree sequence (e.g. whether a graph is w.h.p. ...

Asymptotic formula for the number of connected graphs
It can be shown that the set of graphs with $N$ vertices $G_N$ has cardinality:
\begin{equation}
\lvert G_N \rvert = 2^{N \choose 2} \tag{1}
\end{equation}
Recently, I wondered how much bigger $\...

Electrode assignment problem in resistive networks
Main question
In the context of resistor networks, and particularly purely from a graph theory point of view, is there a consistent way of assigning the two electrode nodes in order to compare the ...

Connected components in random regular graphs
Suppose we take a random regular graph $G_{2n, r}$, where $n$ is large. Let us also assume that $r$ is fixed, (not dependent on $n$). Let's say that half of the vertices of the graph are colored black ...

Minimum dominating sets in tournaments
It is known that in any tournament with $n$ vertices, there is a dominating set of size no more than $\lceil \log_2 n\rceil$. (See Fact 2.5 here.)
What about when the tournament is chosen ...

How to use probability to find a matching in a family of graphs?
In a conference, I heard that we can use some probabilistic methods to find a matching in some kind of graphs. I would like to see some examples of such technics. Can someone provide some references ...

What is the expected distance between the sides of a random subgraph of the grid?
Let $G$ be the $n \times n$ grid, in which each vertex is connected to the vertices above it, below it and on either side. Let $G_p$ be the random subgraph of $G$ obtained by keeping each edge with ...

Another betweenness centrality measure: neighbourhood centrality
Among the many centrality measures that I have heard of, I miss the following (but maybe I'm just blind).
Consider a graph $G$ with $k$ connected components $G_i$ of size $|G_i|$. The number of node ...

counting k-cliques not also (k+1) on random graphs
consider the set of graphs with $n$ vertices and exactly half of all $\binom n 2$ possible edges.
looking for a formula that counts the number of these graphs that have a $k$-clique but not a $(k+...

Maximum Independent set of sparse graphs with few triangles
Notations used
$\alpha(G) = $ Max sized independent set of graph $G$.
$n(G) = $ Number of vertex in graph $G$.
Theorem (by Ajtai et al.): For a triangle-free graph $G$ and max degree being $\Delta$,...
