On independent sets in random graphs

The independence number of a sparse random graph G(n,m) of average degree d = 2m/n is well‐known to be with high probability, with in the limit of large d. Moreover, a trivial greedy algorithm w.h.p. finds an independent set of size , i.e., about half the maximum size. Yet in spite of 30 years of extensive research no efficient algorithm has emerged to produce an independent set with size for any fixed (independent of both d and n). In this paper we prove that the combinatorial structure of the independent set problem in random graphs undergoes a phase transition as the size k of the independent sets passes the point . Roughly speaking, we prove that independent sets of size form an intricately rugged landscape, in which local search algorithms seem to get stuck. We illustrate this phenomenon by providing an exponential lower bound for the Metropolis process, a Markov chain for sampling independent sets. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct.

1‐Factor and Cycle Covers of Cubic Graphs

Let G be a bridgeless cubic graph. Consider a list of k 1‐factors of G. Let be the set of edges contained in precisely i members of the k 1‐factors. Let be the smallest over all lists of k 1‐factors of G. Any list of three 1‐factors induces a core of a cubic graph. We use results on the structure of cores to prove sufficient conditions for Berge‐covers and for the existence of three 1‐factors with empty intersection. Furthermore, if , then is an upper bound for the girth of G. We also prove some new upper bounds for the length of shortest cycle covers of bridgeless cubic graphs. Cubic graphs with have a 4‐cycle cover of length and a 5‐cycle double cover. These graphs also satisfy two conjectures of Zhang 18 . We also give a negative answer to a problem stated in 18 .     

Nonvertex‐Balanced Factors in Random Graphs

We prove part of a conjecture by Johansson, Kahn, and Vu (Factors in random graphs, Random Struct. Algorithms 33 (2008), 1, 1–28.) regarding threshold functions for the existence of an H‐factor in a random graph . We prove that the conjectured threshold function is correct for any graph H which is not covered by its densest subgraphs. We also demonstrate that the main result of Johansson, Kahn, and Vu (Factors in random graphs, Random Struct. Algorithms 33 (2008), 1, 1–28) generalizes to multigraphs, digraphs, and a multipartite model.

The asymptotic number of spanning trees in circulant graphs

Let T(G) be the number of spanning trees in graph G. In this note, we explore the asymptotics of T(G) when G is a circulant graph with given jumps.The circulant graph is the 2k-regular graph with n vertices labeled 0,1,2,…,n−1, where node i has the 2k neighbors i±s₁,i±s₂,…,i±s_k where all the operations are . We give a closed formula for the asymptotic limit as a function of s₁,s₂,…,s_k. We then extend this by permitting some of the jumps to be linear functions of n, i.e., letting s_i, d_i and e_i be arbitrary integers, and examining

     

Maximum flow problem on dynamic generative network flows with time-varying bounds

This paper considers a new class of network flows, called dynamic generative network flows in which, the flow commodity is dynamically generated at a source node and dynamically consumed at a sink node and the arc-flow bounds are time dependent. Then the maximum dynamic flow problem in such networks for a pre-specified time horizon T is defined and mathematically formulated in both arc flow and path flow presentations. By exploiting the special structure of the problem, an efficient algorithm is developed to solve the general form of the dynamic problem as a minimum cost static flow problem.     

Hamiltonicity of 6-connected line graphs

Let G be a graph and let D₆(G)={v∈V(G)|d_G(v)=6}. In this paper we prove that: (i) If G is a 6-connected claw-free graph and if |D₆(G)|≤74 or G[D₆(G)] contains at most 8 vertex disjoint K₄’s, then G is Hamiltonian; (ii) If G is a 6-connected line graph and if |D₆(G)|≤54 or G[D₆(G)] contains at most 5 vertex disjoint K₄’s, then G is Hamilton-connected.
