چکیده

For every n, we describe an explicit construction of a graph on n vertices with at most O(n2− ) edges, for = 0.133 . . ., that contains every graph on n vertices with maximum degree 3 as a subgraph. It is easy to see that each such graph must have at least Ω(n 4 3 ) edges. We also show that the minimum number of edges of a graph that contains every graph with n edges as a subgraph is Θ( n 2 log2 n ). This improves a result of Babai, Chung, Erdös, Graham and Spencer.

Universality and Tolerance

For any positive integers and , let denote the family of graphs on vertices with maximum degree , and let denote the family of bipartite graphs on vertices with vertices in each vertex class, and with maximum degree . On one hand, we note that any -universal graph must have edges. On the other hand, for any , we explicitly construct -universal graphs and on and vertices, and with ! "$# % & ' ( ...

Control by quantum dynamics on graphs

We address the study of controllability of a closed quantum system whose dynamical Lie algebra is generated by adjacency matrices of graphs. We characterize a large family of graphs that renders a system controllable. The key property is a novel graph-theoretic feature consisting of a particularly disordered cycle structure. Disregarding efficiency of control functions, but choosing subfamilies...

Expanders are universal for the class of all spanning trees

Given a class of graphs F , we say that a graph G is universal for F , or F-universal, if every H ∈ F is contained in G as a subgraph. The construction of sparse universal graphs for various families F has received a considerable amount of attention. One is particularly interested in tight F-universal graphs, i. e., graphs whose number of vertices is equal to the largest number of vertices in a...

On expander graphs and connectivity in small space

This presentation is aimed to communicate a recently found deterministic algorithm for determining connectivity in undirected graphs [40]. This algorithm uses the minimal amount of memory possible, up to a constant factor. Specifically, the algorithm’s memory is comparable to that needed to store the name of a single vertex of the graph (i.e., it is logarithmic in the size of the graph). Our al...

Sparse universal graphs for bounded-degree graphs

Let H be a family of graphs. A graph T is H-universal if it contains a copy of each H ∈ H as a subgraph. Let H(k, n) denote the family of graphs on n vertices with maximum degree at most k. For all positive integers k and n, we construct an H(k, n)-universal graph T with Ok(n 2 k log 4 k n) edges and exactly n vertices. The number of edges is almost as small as possible, as Ω(n2−2/k) is a lower...

On limits of sparse random graphs

We present a notion of convergence for sequences of finite graphs {Gn} that can be seen as a generalization of the Benjamini-Schramm convergence notion for bounded degree graphs, regarding the distribution of r-neighbourhoods of the vertices, and the left-convergence notion for dense graphs, regarding, given any finite graph F , the limit of the probabilities that a random map from V (F ) to V ...
