We prove that there is a function $f : \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$ such that for every function $g : \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N} \cup \{\infty\}$ with $g(1)=1$ and $g \ge f$, …
A graph G is a k-leaf power if there exists a tree T whose leaf set is V(G), and such that uv is an edge if and only if the …
We examine algorithmic extensions of two classic results of extremal combinatorics. First, the theorem of Dirac from 1952 asserts that a 2-connected graph G with the minimum vertex degree d>1, …
In 1982 Galvin, Rival, and Sands proved that in $K_{t,t}$-subgraph free graphs (t being fixed), the existence of a path of order n guarantees the existence of an induced path …
The first-order model checking problem for finite graphs asks, given a graph G and a first-order sentence $\phi$ as input, to decide whether $\phi$ holds on G. Showing the existence …
We prove that for every graph F with at least one edge there are graphs H of arbitrarily large chromatic number and the same clique number as F such that …
We present a canonical way to decompose finite graphs into highly connected local parts. The decomposition depends only on an integer parameter whose choice sets the intended degree of locality. …
Transductions are a general formalism for expressing transformations of graphs (and more generally, of relational structures) in logic. We prove that a graph class C can be FO-transduced from a …
We show that if $L_1$ and $L_2$ are linear transformations from $\mathbb{Z}^d$ to $\mathbb{Z}^d$ satisfying certain mild conditions, then, for any finite subset $A$ of $\mathbb{Z}^d$, \ This result corrects …
The sphere packing problem asks for the densest packing of nonoverlapping equal-sized balls in the space. This is an old and difficult problem in discrete geometry. In this talk, we …
