Given a source of iid samples of edges of an input graph G with n vertices and m edges, how many samples does one need to compute a constant factor approximation to the maximum matching size in G? Moreover, is it possible to obtain such an estimate in a sm ...
Given two graphs H and F, the maximum possible number of copies of H in an F-free graph on n vertices is denoted by ex(n, H, F). We investigate the function ex(n, H, kF), where kF denotes k vertex disjoint copies of a fixed graph F. Our results include cas ...
We present O(log log n)-round algorithms in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model, with a(n) memory per machine, that compute a maximal independent set, a 1 + epsilon approximation of maximum matching, and a 2 + epsilon approximation of minimum ve ...
The extension complexity xc(P) of a polytope P is the minimum number of facets of a polytope that affinely projects to P. Let G be a bipartite graph with n vertices, m edges, and no isolated vertices. Let STAB(G) be the convex hull of the stable sets of G. ...
A straight-line drawing of a graph G is a mapping which assigns to each vertex a point in the plane and to each edge a straight-line segment connecting the corresponding two points. The rectilinear crossing number of a graph G, (cr) over bar (G), is the mi ...
Let F be a fixed graph. The rainbow Turan number of F is defined as the maximum number of edges in a graph on n vertices that has a proper edge-coloring with no rainbow copy of F (i.e., a copy of F all of whose edges have different colours). The systematic ...
Suppose that the vertices of a graph G are colored with two colors in an unknown way. The color that occurs on more than half of the vertices is called the majority color (if it exists), and any vertex of this color is called a majority vertex. We study th ...
Let G be a drawing of a graph with n vertices and e > 4n edges, in which no two adjacent edges cross and any pair of independent edges cross at most once. According to the celebrated Crossing Lemma of Ajtai, Chvatal, Newborn, Szemeredi and Leighton, the nu ...

Given a graph H and a set of graphs F, let ex(n, H, F) denote the maximum possible number of copies of H in an T-free graph on n vertices. We investigate the function ex(n, H, F), when H and members of F are cycles. Let C-k denote the cycle of length k and ...

A thrackle is a graph drawn in the plane so that every pair of its edges meet exactly once: either at a common end vertex or in a proper crossing. We prove that any thrackle of n vertices has at most 1.3984n edges. Quasi-thrackles are defined similarly, ex ...
