Undecidability of polynomial inequalities in weighted graph homomorphism densities

Journal Article Forum of Mathematics, Sigma · March 18, 2024 Many problems and conjectures in extremal combinatorics concern polynomial inequalities between homomorphism densities of graphs where we allow edges to have real weights. Using the theory of graph limits, we can equivalently evaluate polynomial expression ... Full text Cite

An Asymptotically Sharp Bound on the Maximum Number of Independent Transversals

Journal Article Electronic Journal of Combinatorics · January 1, 2024 Let G be a multipartite graph with partition V1, V2, …, Vk of V (G). Let di,j denote the edge density of the pair (Vi, Vj). An independent transversal is an independent set of G with exactly one vertex in each Vi . In this paper, we prove an asymptotically ... Full text Cite

On the Asymptotic Confirmation of the Faudree–Lehel Conjecture for General Graphs

Journal Article Combinatorica · August 1, 2023 Given a simple graph G, the irregularity strength of G, denoted by s(G), is the least positive integer k such that there is a weight assignment on edges f: E(G) → { 1 , 2 , ⋯ , k} attributing distinct weighted degrees: f~ (v) : = ∑ u:{u,v}∈E(G)f({ u, v}) t ...
