Maximum Matchings in Regular Graphs of High Girth
Let G = (V, E) be any d-regular graph with girth g on n vertices, for d ≥ 3. This note shows that G has a maximum matching which includes all but an exponentially small fraction...

On Small Dense Sets in Galois Planes
This paper deals with new infinite families of small dense sets in desarguesian projective planes PG(2, q). A general construction of dense sets of size about 3q2/3 is presented....

The Borodin-Kostochka Conjecture for Graphs Containing a Doubly Critical Edge
We prove that if G is a graph containing a doubly-critical edge and satisfying χ ≥ ∆ ≥ 6, then G contains a K∆.

Maximal Projective Degrees for Strict Partitions
Let λ be a partition, and denote by fλ the number of standard tableaux of shape λ. The asymptotic shape of λ maximizing fλ was determined in the classical work of Logan and S...

On the Spectrum of the Derangement Graph
We derive several interesting formulae for the eigenvalues of the derangement graph and use them to settle affirmatively a conjecture of Ku regarding the least eigenvalue.

On Certain Integral Schreier Graphs of the Symmetric Group
We compute the spectrum of the Schreier graph of the symmetric group Sn corresponding to the Young subgroup S2 × Sn−2 and the generating set consisting of initial reversals. In ...

Revisiting Two Classical Results on Graph Spectra
Let µ (G) and µmin (G) be the largest and smallest eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a graph G. Our main results are: (i) If H is a proper subgraph of a connected graph G o...

Arranging Numbers on Circles to Reach Maximum Total Variations
The dartboard problem is to arrange n numbers on a circle to obtain maximum risk, which is the sum of the q-th power of the absolute differences of adjacent
